Author Topic: I Need a Tough Build Built: 5 People Tried and Failed.  (Read 7413 times)

All right, listen up.

I am working on a very large, very complex international airport build, and Terminal 4 of the passenger section is to resemble John F. Kennedy International Airport Terminal 5, also known as the TWA Flight Center. Those of you who play Grand Theft Auto IV will recognize it as the building that Francis International airport is based off of.

Here is Wikipedia's picture of the building if you are unfamiliar with it.

I want someone to recreate the exterior of this building, using all useful materials they can use in the process. This includes but is not limited to 3D models, Google Earth's measuring feature, GTA IV, visiting the real thing, and so on. I wish for the front to be curved as the real one is. The gate protrusions in the rear of the structure are not needed, as those of us working on the airport will likely add our own to fit our needs. Furthermore, the structure will likely see modification, most likely being suspended further up, and possibly extending the "supports" seen in the building's front, so we may need to stay in touch with you if we choose your construction. If you make the build that gets to be part of the airport, you will be credited via ID on a large planned monument in (the yet to be planned [PM me if you have an idea for its design {I am looking for a design with a curved front and a lot of glass.}.]) Terminal One.

If you are wiling to take on this challenge (No body as of yet could afford to do so much as make a good roof.), give it a try either in single player or on an online server (Make a reference to it here and/or include key words in the server title [e.g. "Soandso's RMS Gigantic's Challenge Attempt" or "Screennamehere's JFK Terminal 5 Construction"] and I might drop in.), then post the finished result here if you like the way it turns out. You may also post the build in a Gallery topic and post a link to it here. Keep in mind that other than poles, I have little to no other add-on bricks, so try to limit your usage of non-default bricks as much as possible.

Good luck to all of you. I hope your builds turn out well!

Good luck with this. Difficult build. :o

It isn't a TWA terminal anymore is it? I recall flying out of there on JetBlue... At least I think it was that terminal. However I also recall flying out of there on a TWA flight back in like 2000 so...

onTopic: Too difficult.

It is the TWA Flight Center by name, though other airline companies use it, too.

And it may be too difficult for you, but it is possible if done by a skilled builder.

I was at the terminal a few weeks ago... I'd definitely try to help but I don't think I could do much.

Were you the plane?

Were you the plane?

I had no idea, as my profile picture shows.

You're also a monkey.

Hao dare yu. I was there to fly to the Bahamas in April

This build seems very tricky and very time-consuming. If I wasn't working on a large project myself, then I would gladly help, I love a good challenge.

ehh... good luck. that roof is intimidating
