I have been in that room, the collection to left is just as awesome as well as the collection to the rear and all the models stored underneath the table and hanging from the ceiling!!! and that was 2 years ago.

How are you doing Ramon, were did you put the "Brad" models?

baxter66 · 06-09-2009, 03:30 PM

O-O...he's starting it again....I couldn't wait to see this one.

Thomas32125 · 06-10-2009, 08:20 PM

This is going to be interesting for sure! Can't wait to see your progress...

Mingjim · 06-13-2009, 05:30 PM

I just finished painting the two runways as placing the Woodland Scenics Flex paste that will be the base for the water

tex02 · 06-13-2009, 05:41 PM

First of all that room is amazing,

secondly that looks like it's going to be a fantastic airport, cant wait to see your progress!!

jonatan47 · 06-13-2009, 07:13 PM

what are you using for the water?

Mingjim · 06-13-2009, 07:22 PM

Woodland Scenics Realistic Water (C1211).

Mingjim · 06-13-2009, 10:41 PM

I decided on what I want for runway approach lights. It is going to be a pain to drill all the holes I will need for both runways.

COEWR · 06-14-2009, 01:31 AM

Thanks for posting the detailed steps as you go about the process...This is going to prove to be a helpful thread for me once I get my own room to FINALLY build my airport...plus the pics are awesome to look at!

lespaulordeath · 06-14-2009, 03:52 AM

wow!

cant wait to see more !

btw. helpful for my own project to see the pics

Mingjim · 06-20-2009, 04:13 PM

Update 6/20:

Hope you guys like the updates

Mingjim · 06-20-2009, 04:20 PM

I am very happy to say that the terminal and ATC tower will be built by Brian (oliJFK) and not me or Herpa. After careful consideration I decided on the Bilbao (Spain) Terminal and its ATC tower. Here are photos of the actual terminal and ATC tower. I want to thank Brian for taking on this project.

AmericanEagle667 · 06-21-2009, 09:19 PM

Very nice!! My favorite part so far is the water. I have a little water on my newest airport but it's oil pastel but it looks pretty realistic. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks;

I am currently working on drilling holes so I can place fiber optics so I can have approach lights (over water) to both runways. I also plan to build a rock wall on the edge of the airport. Next to the rock wall will be a fence that will cover the perimeter of the airport. The final touch will be to add some fine touches to the water area/ rock wall and then pouring the Woodland Scenics water.

ccs757 · 06-21-2009, 10:09 PM

wow!! yes!! Bilbao!!! such an interesting architecture!! can´t wait to see it finished!!!

AirTran Airways 717 · 06-21-2009, 10:18 PM

WOW!! And you are using the same picture for approach lights I am!!!

smoothjazz · 06-21-2009, 10:49 PM

Already getting excited here... Good work so far!

oliJFK · 06-21-2009, 11:25 PM

Ah! Looking good Ramon! The terminal is coming a long quite nicely also, I must say I am a bit jealous. I'll be sending you photos tomorrow once I attach the roof.

erwiesdha · 06-22-2009, 12:57 AM

Very Brilliant..just can't wait the final result..

Mingjim · 06-22-2009, 06:56 PM

Here are some update Terminal photos from Brian.

pilotdan · 06-22-2009, 09:14 PM

Very nice terminal building! I wish I could build that well...Oh well, can't wait!

Mingjim · 06-22-2009, 10:43 PM

I was able to do some painting when I got from work today.

Retroguy · 06-23-2009, 07:33 PM

no wonder they call you "insane collector" under your avatar

awesome work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oliJFK · 06-27-2009, 09:42 PM

New update for Ramon's terminal:

Mingjim · 06-27-2009, 11:15 PM

awesome brian!!!!!!!!!!

LOT 737-300 · 06-28-2009, 01:52 AM

Brian, seeing quite a bit of your work over the past 4 years (and then some more of the stuff you posted on Wings before I even joined the site), I have to admit, you are quite possibly THE most gifted airport modeler that the hobby has.

airbusfan95 · 06-28-2009, 08:59 AM

This looks great. I can't wait to see the finished outcome.

Prestwick Pioneer · 06-28-2009, 09:51 AM

Oh my god this really is going to be something amazing and raising the bar for everyone. I cannot wait to see this one.

Mingjim · 06-28-2009, 10:49 AM

I did some more painting last night. I will be covering the areas that are in black with Noch turf (minus .25" to use for taxiway lights).

oliJFK · 06-30-2009, 09:12 PM

Almost complete! Will start work on the ATC tower tomorrow a long with finishing details.

Ok, that is wayyyy to good. How did you do that?!?!?! Great job on that terminal! I wish I had that skill. Maybe the best I have ever seen! Great job.

Thanks! Just takes a lot of patience and precise cutting. The whole thing is made of cardboard and windows are clear plastic.

BoeingFlyer11 · 06-30-2009, 09:57 PM

Do you glue all of the cardboard together and how do you get it to bend like that if its cardboard?

airbusfan95 · 06-30-2009, 10:39 PM

Yea i have to say that terminal might be one of the best terminals I have ever seen.

Mingjim · 06-30-2009, 11:01 PM

WOW!!

I cannot wait to get it

thanks Brian

oliJFK · 07-01-2009, 06:07 PM

No problem Ramon!

So yeah, I'm pretty much done. That ATC tower was quite a challenge! Anyway, let me know if there are any concerns/suggestions. I'm gonna keep looking for tweaks. As far as the ATC tower, I didn't add any antenna's etc because they are easy to apply not to mention I doubt they would make the trip.

Regards,
Brian

Prestwick Pioneer · 07-01-2009, 06:36 PM

BRian, i think i am going to be the first to say congratulations on the work you have put in on the towe and the previously photographed terminal. oh man this is raising the bar sky high my humblest congratulations
