Status Report
I have been working on the creation of a 3D-Model of JHQ for well over a year now and haven’t tired of the challenge, yet, big as it is!
I have become very competent at using some very clever software, SketchUp, that is used by many Architects around the world.
It’s certainly keeping me busy during my retirement!
I have now completed ALL of the many buildings, Military/Residential/Public, that were present on JHQ when it was closed down in 2013. I have been helped and supported by Rudolf Bueschges, author of the book “Gebaeude des Joint Headquarters”, who has provided helpful information regarding the size and images of many of the buildings. It’s interesting how many of the few JHQ images that there are on the internet usually feature the front of the building but seldom the back or sides of the various buildings!
I have now worked through the long list of buildings that needed some details added (windows, doors etc).
The JHQ, Rheindahlen, 3D Model has been COMPLETED!
It is now time to decide on how to use it!
Below is an image of the current status:
Below are links to several fly-over videos of an earlier version of the 3D-Model.
