Default what's pixelport?

I asked this on the 1/500 section, but was told you all might have a faster, better answer. Can anyone tell me about Pixelport and their new line of ground service equipment and buildings? Will these be any good? Has anyone got any photos of them?

They look awsome! I am on a mission to find out if Pixelport still exist and if not, I will find out what materials they used, what templates they used and re-start the company myself!

I had several opportunities to test their groundfoilsytem, and I must say it´s awsome: it totaly corresponds to FAA standards, even in details - you measure - it matches - FANTASTIC! I only wonder WHEN WILL IT BE AVAIABLE??? Maybe they´re stuck in sale items, because I know that tecnically they already were ready in february!

Hey Trevor, I look forward to checking those out once you post some shots...
I heard Dragon Wings was going to release a full line, including some dedicated GSE for different airlines. Would be cool.

These jetways have movable parts. The length is fixed. However, regarding length, there are two different versions:

I can't tell anything that can be considered as being enlightening since I'm not involved in the production process. I just made the samples that have been shown so far.

The jetways look great in the two pictures. Do you know if pixelport is planning on selling seperate jetway pieces? I think that those jetways there look much better than Herpa's, and a lot better than Gemini's. Another quick question, are the windows on the terminal filled with clear plastic, or are they holes in the terminal. The terminal looks great by the way.

Awesome job on the terrific terminals and jetways. Do you know if the Pixelport folks have released any images of their GSE?

The windows are made of reflecting material.
Further buildings can be seen on Delftblue Daybreaks homepage by the way.

Concerning GSE I haven't seen any pictures yet.
