My new display!!

I gave up on the idea of building a 1:200 model airport because I have neither the time, patience, expertise, but most of all space to do it. But instead, thanks to THIS website I have a renewed interest in photography, modeling, and the two together. So I made a display today similar to what Gemini takes it's 1/400 pictures on, only 1:200 scale. Here are my construction pictures along with the finished result. I can't wait to use it with some natural light!…

Placed an Order today for an GJ Easyjet 737 Sample which is in the normal livery taking my fleet in 1/400 up to:

 

2x 737-700

4x A319

2x A320

1x A321

1x 757-200

Pax windows are too high…

United 727-22 @ Chicago Science & Industry Museum

The Museum of Science and Industry on the South side of Chicago has the 17th ever Boeing 727 on display. Here are some pics from my visit. Interestingly enough, throughout the day the aircraft used to cycle through gear-up/gear-down, and flaps up/flaps down. But it didn't move while we were there. Click on this link to see her last flight -> N7017U last landing at Meigs Field…

If you look at the Star Alliance logo in particular.  Waffle's cockpit windows are almost even with the top of the Star logo.

 

Mine is much lower than the Star logo!
