布赖恩·基恩曾是一名航空公司飞行员,后退役并担任航空业高管,但他对机场仍然着迷。 甚至在退休后,他创立了AV Pro Designs公司,该公司制造著名机场的模型微缩景观。(他们将模型卖给博物馆、机构和“微缩景观社区”,无论那是什么。) 在设计1:1400比例的模型时,基恩借鉴了他自己作为飞行员的经验和档案照片,重现机场在特定时期的景象。 例如,该公司对肯尼迪机场(JFK)的还原是70年代和80年代的样子,洛杉矶机场(LAX)是80年代和90年代的样子。 他们对孟买机场(BOM)的模型尤其引人注目,因为他们制作了夜景。 该公司还制作了希思罗机场和纽瓦克机场;香港启德机场和法国戴高乐机场正在制作中。

一场由AV Pro Designs创作的历史准确机场微缩景观引发的黑客新闻讨论,促成了一场关于大型模型制作的精彩交流。用户分享了除了这些微缩景观之外的例子,包括巨大的美国陆军工程兵团海湾模型(超过一个足球场大小)以及用二战战俘劳动力建造的200英亩密西西比河盆地模型。 对话还涉及较小但细节丰富的微缩景观,例如肯尼迪机场TWA酒店的那个。一个关键点是AV Pro Designs对色彩准确性的精益求精,他们使用原始时期的潘通色卡,而不是依赖褪色的照片,从而解释了这些模型中经常看到的暖色调。最后,一位用户建议使用现代3D打印技术,例如EufyMake打印机,可以大大简化微缩景观的制作过程。

Brian Keene is a former airline pilot and retired airline industry executive who remains obsessed with airports. So much so that in his retirement, he started AV Pro Designs, a company that manufactures dioramas of famous airports. (They sell them to museums, institutions and "the diorama community," whatever that is.)

In designing the 1:1400 models, Keene draws on both his own experiences as a pilot and archival photographs, recreating the airports as they appeared during certain eras. The company's rendition of JFK is from the '70s and '80s, LAX in the '80s and '90s, for instance.

Their model of BOM (Mumbai's airport) is particularly striking, as they've done the nighttime view.

The company's also done Heathrow and Newark; Hong Kong's Kai Tak and France's Charles de Gaulle are in the works.
