I found the links to this model in John Wagenseil's thread of very useful collection of web-site links...

I apologize to all of you for not being able to find the download links.

I printed this as 4-A4 pages to one Letter-size page, so my build is about 1/4 of the designed size. If you follow the links to the completed model quoted above, you can see the intended size.

The model consists of several modules -- some large, some small -- that are pieced together. The "nominal ground level" is basically at the center of the model, so pieces extend below to add some structure, and above to add different ground elevations. As recommended in the instructions, I built the major modules separately, and pieced them together only at the end.

Here are pictures of my completed model. Although the model included some palm trees, green "pyramidal" trees, and cutout animals, I left those items out. (Just preferred the model without them.) Note that the roof on the main building can be removed to view some internal detail.
