Hi Everyone, this is my latest project yet, I haven't abandoned my other airport 'Jerusalem Beit Shemesh' but I'm concentrating on this one. I'm recreating the scene that started my love for aviation. Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport Terminal 1. It's a small but complicated building and with 2 hours with a steady hand, a glue stick and some card (all scaled) this is what I've done....

Here is the building in comparison with the real thing...

GSE is also important as they only used staircases...

Thats looking interesting.
The paper GSE looks effective.
Are you going to include the palm trees to give it that tropical desert feel?

The show piece of the model has been built.
Take a look, although unfinished...

Nice diorama, looks like a nice small building to build.

Not as easy as it looks, had to use images that were tiny and compare it to the google earth image to scale down to 1:400. Its got a lot more work needed, I'm just happy that the center piece is done. The project is only apiece of the building not all of it
