Middle Earth Map. Can't Post

I was wondering, has anyone tried doing a Middle Earth map using pictures from Google Earth?
I mean, copying and pasting satellite pictures of forests, rivers, mountains, seas that resemble those of Middle Earth to do a collage of great proportions, and then adding aerial views (if any exist) of the LOTR movie sets, such as Edoras, Hobbiton, etc.
I'd do it, but I'm afraid I don't have the necessary skills.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit...

I remember seeing one someone had done, but I can't think where to find a link to it I'm sorry. It wasn't completely accurate but not bad.

LOTRO made one! [In reply to] Can't Post

This is from Lord of the Rings Online, and therefore CG, but it's the same idea as Google Earth. :)
