In thread #1, my first sentence did not make sentence sense. It was vague, grammatically incorrect and it failed to properly convey my ideas. As a result, everything else suffered. So, I will try again.
I enjoy viewing and reading the posts on this forum.
This includes "in the works" airport projects, fantasy projects, ready-made projects and scratch projects. Accordingly, I have responded to a number of these threads with praise, questions, historical suggestions and friendly jokes. But, over the past couple of years, I have noticed the lack of a quality presentation to go along with many of these projects (my old ready-made included).
Along with pictures of the final project, a good presentation would start with one's personal interest in their airport. This would be followed by historical notes on the real terminal, the airlines that call and/or called it and any anecdotes that may follow; something to kick the reader in the arse. Without any kind of presentation, it would be like setting our project on the teacher's desk and giving the class a blank stare; just student utterances of how we made it and how beautiful it looks.
With reference to the attitudes of some seasoned scratch builders, I've grown indifferent to their presentations. And for the ones who sell their scratch airports, guess what? They sold out to the other side. They might as well mass produce their airport like Herpa's Frankfurt Main based terminal buildings.
I figure that if we're enthusiasts, let's be enthusiastic about raising the bar with our projects; beginners and seasoned veterans alike.
