1/285th Scale Aircraft Tug

Something I’ve been needing for a while for the deck of my USS Wasp.  Just a little fine tuning to do on this one and then I’ll start casting it.  I’ll probably make about a dozen of them for the Wasp and if anyone else is interested maybe I’ll put some on cgmini.com
These could also be cool for my airport boards if I ever get them done.

Airport Terminal

Tonight I finished up my Airport Terminal building with Control Tower.  This is something I wanted for small airports and I’m making it available as a kit on the gcmini.com website.

 

Work continues on Baghdad Int’l Airport

The northwest corner of Baghdad International Airport in 1/285th scale. Work in progress.  Tonight I just started the application of the desert sand texture, this is a process that takes several applications before it’s done, this is just the first base layer.

This last photo shows the area being modeled. The satellite image on the left shows the area that I’m modeling. I’ve taken a little bit of artistic license especially in ground scale, I tried to keep the widths of all runways and taxiways real close to scale but the distances between things is seriously reduced.
