Default TPA Sneak Peak

I'm getting very close to completing my 1:500 scale model of Tampa's Terminal C, which houses Southwest, Spirit, and Midwest. Hope you enjoy!

All I have left to do is to glue down all the ground equipment and get all the aircraft set up. I should finish sometime this week and I'll post pictures soon afterwards.

Questions/comments/suggestions are welcome!

That's pretty cool! I was wondering what did you use to illuminate your building?

Thanks for the kind words all!
Dylan, I just hope that someday I can make a model half as good as your spectacular model of SAN!

MU587, the building is made of styrene with a foam core base. The jetways are actually my first entirely scratch-built jetways and are made of styrene as well. The curved parts of the jetways are Pentel Clickster erasers cut in half.

intrigue 73, the building is illuminated with Christmas diorama lights placed around the inside of the building.

The airport is now fully complete, I just have to wait for a nice sunny day to take pictures (which hopefully will be tomorrow, but I can't promise anything).

Looks great! Thought it was 1/400 scale, but 1/500? Very nice.
