Modeling crazyness

OlaHaldor I realy like your work.

I started the terminal building from Bremen - Germany, a year ago. but i stoped modelling because i don't know the real hight of the buildings and lack of information about the gates - i want to build it as real as possible.

here is a screenshot - modeled with blender 2.48

Wow, looks nice. Gotta look out for the smoothing there though. ;)

Have you used Bing Maps? Zoom in a little and use "Birds eye" view. It can give some more details, but not all. It comes in handy!

I've never known exact height myself. Buth LEMU and LEAL were modeled based on what I saw and scale in relation to other things, like planes. I could see a B737 next to a gate. Fine, I dug up some info about height on different places of the plane, and compared it to my model, then adjusting accordingly. It's not perfect, it may be tedious and can cause problems - BUT it's a step forward. :)

There's actually a easier way than that providing you have some side on pics. Model the base against the image. Measure it. Then count the units, x or y, and compare them to the 'z' units. most terminals are maybe 5:1 to 8:1...

Its how I do my buildings but its quite difficult to describe through text ;)

I understand what you're writing there. ;) I've hardly come across images of the terminal in profile though.

Something I've usually done is use Google Earth to measure width and length, then adjust height and compare it to the height of known airplane types I see in the perspective views. :)
