I got the correct 3D models and submitted a pull request[1].  I also
submitted a pull request[2] for the script changes I used to generate
the model.  I know I can merge the model library pull request myself but
I would rather the normal review process be followed.  I don't see
myself as having special privileges here so if there is anything else I
need to do to get this merged, please let me know.  If you want me to go
ahead a merge it, I'm fine with that as well.
