1/400 UK Model Airport Revisited (2016)

[Thomson737]

Good afternoon,

I wanted to return to an old airport project. This particular focus will be on the 2016 period with the significance of Thomson Airways as well as other airlines which focuses on more of a home from home airport concept.

There are other time periods I wish to focus on too in the future, such as 2006.

Instead of focusing on day by day schedules in a flowing prospect I will be randomising the day of focus and time of each day.

This project is in another room so please excuse the lack of background as well as lighting I am trying to work with.

All in all, I hope the photos relay the kind of perspectives I vision.

This initial post will begin with Wednesday afternoon schedules around the 1140am time frame.

I am going to try and work with the natural lighting coming into the room going forward. it can be a little hit and miss here in the UK but hopefully my camera cam accommodate for the most part.

We continue on the same day from the last post, 30 minutes or so later from the Icelandair departure.
