Glad you like them guys... If there's there's any particular models you'd like a pic of ( assuming I have it of course) let me know... Still learning with the camera so the pics will hopefully get better...

Ozz: The camera is totally awesome... Best money I've ever spent... It's a Sony DSC-F707 Digital Still... 5 Megapixels and I love every single one of them... Absolutely brilliant in macro (4cm) and a total knock-out when I take it to work (Melbourne Airport)...
Well worth the dollars...

Trevor & Spider-Man: The jetways are simply cardboard and glue with the roofing made from aluminium sheets from a hobby shop... All pre-desiged on the PC (Corel Draw) to simply print, cut-out and fold into shape... The actual aerobridges are the same with several layers of cardboard fitting over one another... I hinged the bridge by modifying ( butchering is probably a better description) standard Herpa aerobridges. Using just the hinge section and disposing of the rest... This allows the bridge to move up and down... The in-out movement is acheived using the layers of cardboard mentioned earlier... One "cube" sitting inside the other... Thanks to the flexibility of the cardboard, there's even limited side-ways movement too...

HNL-Chris, MNL & b773: Structure of the terminal building is made from good old Lego bricks (and my mother wanted to throw them away when I grew up).... The details, although hard to see in these particular shots, was again pre-designed on the PC and printed on A4 sheets of label paper... Cut out, and stuck into the places they were supposed to fit... The roof came from the same sheets of Aluminium mentioned above, cut to size and curved into shape (the curving wasn't easy believe me)... The large window areas are made from the cover of a display folder... Lines inscribed individually using a scalpel... The tarmac was pre-designed and printed using old faithfull once again on colored cardboard from an art shop... The blocks were inscribed by scalpel and rule as squarely as possible... All fixed to a large 4mm thick piece of cardboard by glue...

Will soon be demolishing and redesigning the whole thing now that I have a photo quality printer (originally a 640dpi HP) so I should be able to get one hell of a lot more detail onto everything...

Pictures below as requested...

Cheers,

Nader
