Nice pics of a great diorama! Very cool to see all those heavies at their gates
And... do I see the Orbis DC-10 parked there?

Great update! It's kinda weird hearing my username in another person's video, it's going to take some time to get used to

Believe it or not, most of my models are regional jets and narrowbodies! I’m definitely trying to get more heavies though. you sure are right about the Orbis! It’s one of my rarest models in the collection.

How does one simply obtain the Orbis

That is… a long story.

How does one simply obtain the Orbis

I got the Orbis gifted to me by my dad a year ago, he got it from his lawyer, Lesra Martin, who represents Orbis as their lawyer I believe. Now while my dad and his lawyer were talking, he mentioned that he worked for Orbis, and my dad responded that his son (me) loved planes and collected models. Wouldn’t you know it, but guess who also collected model airplanes? Lesra Martin! He gave my dad one of the few rare Gemini Jets Orbis company exclusive MD-10’s to give to me and the rest is history!

The guy who gave it to my dad is a very interesting person, he actually had a movie made about him and a person he represented in court called “The Hurricane”, it’s a great film. So yeah that’s how I got my Orbis MD-10, probably one of the most interesting model acquisition stories I’ve heard.

Incredibly lucky! I had to make a custom entry on MADb for it because it was so rare
