Great pics. The camera has great clarity, even in close. And, where did you get that terminal. Did you make it?

Wow, really crisp photos you have there and nice setup! I really like those markings you have on the tarmac.

Hey Jardine,

Those are beautiful shots! You got yourself an excellent camera! I also like that terminal of yours, it is impressive. I am curious to know how you made you jetway? Is made of cardboard or paper? I would really like to try making one myself as it is very expensive to buy jetways.

Default Wow!!!

Glad you like them guys... If there's there's any particular models you'd like a pic of ( assuming I have it of course) let me know... Still learning with the camera so the pics will hopefully get better...

Ozz: The camera is totally awesome... Best money I've ever spent... It's a Sony DSC-F707 Digital Still... 5 Megapixels and I love every single one of them... Absolutely brilliant in macro (4cm) and a total knock-out when I take it to work (Melbourne Airport)...
Well worth the dollars...

Trevor & Spider-Man: The jetways are simply cardboard and glue with the roofing made from aluminium sheets from a hobby shop... All pre-desiged on the PC (Corel Draw) to simply print, cut-out and fold into shape... The actual aerobridges are the same with several layers of cardboard fitting over one another... I hinged the bridge by modifying ( butchering is probably a better description) standard Herpa aerobridges. Using just the hinge section and disposing of the rest... This allows the bridge to move up and down... The in-out movement is acheived using the layers of cardboard mentioned earlier... One "cube" sitting inside the other... Thanks to the flexibility of the cardboard, there's even limited side-ways movement too...

HNL-Chris, MNL & b773: Structure of the terminal building is made from good old Lego bricks (and my mother wanted to throw them away when I grew up).... The details, although hard to see in these particular shots, was again pre-designed on the PC and printed on A4 sheets of label paper... Cut out, and stuck into the places they were supposed to fit... The roof came from the same sheets of Aluminium mentioned above, cut to size and curved into shape (the curving wasn't easy believe me)... The large window areas are made from the cover of a display folder... Lines inscribed individually using a scalpel... The tarmac was pre-designed and printed using old faithfull once again on colored cardboard from an art shop... The blocks were inscribed by scalpel and rule as squarely as possible... All fixed to a large 4mm thick piece of cardboard by glue...

Will soon be demolishing and redesigning the whole thing now that I have a photo quality printer (originally a 640dpi HP) so I should be able to get one hell of a lot more detail onto everything...

Pictures below as requested...

Cheers,

Nader

Thanks for some more pics! I just love the detail you have made. You even have some details inside the jetway! You have got yourself a lovely airport. I also like the way you have structured it. It's excellent! Your pics have really encouraged me to start building my own airport!

jardine,

Those pix are really awesome, and your diorama is quite impressive as well. To answer your question, there is a way to get more than one picture in a post, but it is not by attaching them. What you need is web space that can host your pictures and then you can insert them using the [IMG] button in the post editor. If you don't have a web site of your own, you can talk to your ISP about providing you with some web space in which you can host your pictures. Also, once you host your pictures and insert them in a post, you can insert images larger than 100KB, which is the size limit for attachments, but you will want to use extreme discretion in doing so, in order not to alienate the dial-up users, of which there still seem to be quite a few.

Hope this helps, and keep up the good work!

- Bill

Thanks for the advice Bill... Much appreciated...

FLYDELTA: Please read above...

Have begun the initial design stages of a few photo dioramas to see what can be done with my new printer... I think the biggest stumbling block is gonna be getting used to Illustrator 7.0... Any experts out there that might be able to help me along?


Cheers,

Regarding Illustrator 7, I use corel draw and have both programs and I design my buildings on Corel Draw and they are very similar. If you want I can send you a building template i used for the construction of my terminal.

At the moment on my airport I lost some interest in finishing it, all that needs to be done is the tarmac, but I will get back to it one day. At the moment I building some model kits.
