For this challenge your job is to create a municipal airport. Also known as a domestic or regional airport, a municipal airport is defined as a airport that only handles domestic flights within the same country and serve a small geographic region. These airports do not have any customs and immigration facilities needed by an international airport. Municipal airports are generally used for private aircraft, helicopters, smaller business jets and regional airlines.
Your municipal airport doesn't have to be very large hover it should include all the necessary structures used in the function of an airport. This should at a minimum include a control tower, a terminal and, of course, an airstrip with taxiways. There should be an area for loading passengers and places to park aircraft. If you need more information airports, a good place to start is Wikipedia.
Special rules for Challenge 135: you may use a few basic aircraft from the 3D Warehouse but they should be rather generic in appearance (the smaller the file size the better.) Do not modify any downloaded models besides scaling them to fit the scale of your model. All other standard rules apply.
3D Warehouse Tag: 3D Challenge 135
(Hint: Be sure to place a comma after it before adding more tags.)
The winner of previous 3D Challenge #134 - Wristwatch is...
CK with his SEIKO 5!
Congratulations on the win, CK!
Congratulations CK!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all votes.
ReplyDelete:D
With Wikipedia taking their ball and going home for 24 hours, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to get a copy of the wikipage and save it elsewhere for reference.. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHTF.
Don't allow downloads on quality models on the warehouse , Be aware that someone is stealing warehouse models to his own profits, selling them on http://www.cornucopia3d.com/purchase.php?item_id=10040 "broker Stephane GIL (AngelEsteban)" check this site to see if you already been hook
ReplyDeletesorry for the of topic post , but i felt like you should be aware
ill try to make a entry to this challenge soon
It's probably poor form on my part to say this before the challenge is done, but I'm just claiming that all of the winged birds are currently out of my airport. I'm sprinkling a couple of the google package choppers around, but I'm not using anything made by anybody other than google. It's my own personal ethics; I don't like using models made by others outside of the google design group. I just can't get past the 'how would I feel to open a model made by somebody else and saw one of my own pieces in there, no credit given, no thank you or anything' aspect. My own pieces might not be that good, but at least they are mine. I'm betting I could easily locate some birds on 3dWarehouse that would make my layout look immensely better, but then who would deserve the credit? I'd rather be mediocre on my own, than to be excellent riding a train somebody else built. ;)
DeleteThanks for the headsup on that site GS. I'm sorry that some folks were born without that little piece of their brain that distinguishes right from wrong.
By the way, since I'm showing my cards... I feel like such a dummy, but I was the guy who said "hey, what about a regional airport"... AND, you'll never guess who is struggling at every level of the entire build. I kid you not, this whole build has been such a pain in the butt, and it was my idea! I could have built a space shuttle with less erase/redo sections. Next time somebody asks me what model I would suggest, I'm probably going to say 'a cube." and leave it at that. :D
Model seller site must create model by their own.
DeleteNeed to check.
Well It appears I won't be able to submit an airport just got hit with a project at work.. oh well. I can't wait to vote on these though.. only 2 so far it will be a tough one.. Guess you will all just have to wait till the end of the month to be able to check out my work :-)
ReplyDeleteDue to some life stuff, I'm doubtful that I'll have a model to show. But, I've got a little bit of time left and I'm going to give it the best try I can muster, even though it means starting from scratch this late in the game.
ReplyDeleteWish me luck. :D

I'll Root for you. But you have to promise that in a couple weeks when you are walking through my master suite you use your interact tool and click on everything LOL. I think I might even make the toilet seat open lol.
