I'm into fleets and how they line up at their home terminals. My first project is a 4' x 12' combo tarmac ( w/ mirror to double half of it ) which I rendered myself in Photoshop. I made all the ground markings accurate based on photos of the actual tarmacs. I posted a 72 DPI jpg. for you to see the layout. The real file is 300 dpi and almost 2 Gb in size complete will gates, oil stains and traffic guides. I'll be printing it as a single long sheet at Kinkos within a week or two and then mounting it to my custom table that has a foam board top. I will render photo realisitic terminals and mount them to foam board to achieve the actual terminals and airbridges. My fleet to be represented is:
Heathrow Terminal 4: Tribute to the world tails era. I have 20 world tails 747,777,767,737 & Concorde in 1:400 that will dock at the colorful yellow gates. ( I chose to skip doing the white gates with the current union flag livery since its just not as cool ).
Schiphol Pier E & F: (8) KLM 744 o/c ; (3) KLM 777 n/c (3) NWA A330 n/c (2) NWA 744 n/c: 1 NWA DC10 n/c. I love KLM blue next to NWA red.
Narita terminal 2: (8) JAL 744 n/c; 8 JAL MD-11; (4) ANA 744 (1) Marine Jumbo, 1 JAL Disney. I'm using a mirror on one side to double up the model. Love the red rising sun tails in a long row.
Sidney for QANTAS Wunala, Nalanji, Formula 1 747s
Auckland: Lord of the Rings Frodo 747, Aragorn 767 and 747, Eowyn 320.
I'll post progress pics often for your enjoyment. It's nice to meet you all!
BTW: On the otherside, I'm doubling a 13 foot wall with a complete Incheon, CLK & Dubai Term 3. I haven't rendered them yet, but have all the planes layed out. I'm doing (10) Emrates A380s there.
Enjoy,
