The problem I have at this point is good source photos.
In my opinion, pictures aren't really that useful. Sure, they may give you
information on various details, but when you are modeling something, you
would find dimensions more helpful.
When you have enough numbers, you won't even need pictures. The amount of
time it takes for the models to be completed can be shorten trenmendously.
The whole modelling experience will also be more enjoyable, as the modellers
don't need to work, and rework, and work on the samething over and over again
until it "looks right" (which is pretty boring, not to mention fustrating).
The only problem is that the numbers are not easy to find.
The second most important thing is a set of coordinates: you need them to know
where to position various structures. So for those who have GPS reciever, it
will actually be helpful if they can walk to the corners of various buildings
and record their locations.

Yeah. I'd like to do this; I'm using it as an excuse to learn Blender.
I wouldn't mind doing this also. This will give me a chance to learn Blender
as well.
So right now, we have three modellers who have expressed interests. ;-)

When I get done witn my B-29 (months) have plans to do Dulles, then National
and BWI. I also want to do the mall in DC, the major Potomac bridges, and some
of the bigger landmarks around the beltway and downtown Baltimore. I also want
to make a library of generic towers and write a program to extract US tower
positions from the FCC database. I would like to find a place to put a database
where people can go and assign the proper type of tower to an entry, since the
FAA database only tells you the height and omits water towers. I'm sure the FAA
has a databse as well, but I haven't found it.
