The Atomium (take two)

Some notes for Gerardo64:
I am veeeeery angry against you Gerardo64 :-) I worked from several days to publish the Atomium (built the year of my birth) and at the moment when I decide to propose it for the Google Earth community (I was so proud) I see youve take me the pole position and more . . . you have the same first name as me . . . you took all of me :-( I hate you ;-)

But nevertheless I propose my own version of the Atomium because mine is a little different and more precise for several points . . . and so Ive not lost my time for nothing.

In my version:
- The building is at the right place (not yours)
- The tubes have the right diameters, 3,30 meters for internals and 3 meters for external (yours are too thick).
- The junction of the bottom sphere and the pavilion is more right.
- The dimensions of the 3 bipods are more precise (angles, thickness )
- The junction between spheres and bipods are more realistic and good looking.

Ok you (roughly) drew the stairs and made a sphere transparent (this is a good ide, I agree) . . . but, hum hum, except those points, the only thing you have doing better than me is that you was faster :-)

In a friendly way,
Gerard (from Belgium)
(sorry for my approximate English, I usually speak French)
