Some of you may know I'm involved with a local model club - the Long Island Scale Model Society. We had our annual model show and contest today (Saturday) in Freeport. As club photographer, I had a table set up to photograph the models, as well as shooting the display tables and other activities. We had a very good turnout today (while it was sunny, it was too cold to do yard work - after 23 years of this, we've gotten very good at knowing how the weather effects us!) I thought I'd share some of my photos from the event.
This one really caught my eye - a 3 foot square diorama of Terminal 5! He usually builds airliner models, but after getting some Herpa 1/400 scale aircraft, decided to do something different. The terminal is all scratch-built. He said he used a combination of photographs, drawings, and Google Earth images to prepare the construction plans.
For several years now, our club has collected donations of model kits and supplies, as well as personal items (toiletries, etc) and sent them to the troops in Iraq. One of our members is an SP with the 106th at Gabreski, and served a tour in Iraq, returning home about a year ago.
For those interested, here's a look at my set up.
