I'm Back! New Arrivals / Airport Update

wwwtinman · 07-01-2009, 03:50 PM

For those who remember my Christmas Project, or my previous posts, here are a few updates I was finally able to make after a very long and busy semester in school. Easy on the critics, I've got PLENTY of work before I can consider this a finished work. I've got more models coming in next week, so stay tuned. And as always, feedback is much appreciated.

Prestwick Pioneer · 07-01-2009, 06:56 PM

Great photos there and welcome back. I cannot really comment cos im too busy chasing women to really get to grips with the hobby but I would just say sta inspired and check out the other projects around the forum particularly Brian's work for Ramon on this thread:

Shelf Update:

Master Shake747 · 07-16-2009, 03:29 PM

Wow! This is much better than my make-believe LAX airport

ICEcoldair881 · 10-07-2009, 09:09 PM

wow! how'd you get the AA MD-11/DC-10 in-air pic? amazing work.

how'd you also get the wall terminal? it looks like the kind that I should have...lol

1:200Freak · 10-07-2009, 09:14 PM

Love the pic of that AA MD-11 rotating!

ICEcoldair881 · 10-07-2009, 09:16 PM

i'm sensing some landing gear and (possibly) hand or stand photoshopping. just a thought though.....:P

ICEcoldair881 · 10-08-2009, 09:27 PM

hey where'd you get that terminal or is it custom? I want it! XD

airbro · 10-10-2009, 05:33 AM

Wow thats great work.

wwwtinman · 10-17-2009, 01:24 PM

Thanks for all the comments. I'm currently working on T1 & T2. My design has changed slightly making the terminal on the pictures my international Terminal. Domestic airlines (aa, delta, southwest, nwa, etc...) are to be on two more shelves i'm in the process of building. Looking really good so far, will post pictures soon i hope.

ICEColdair, this is a 100% custom terminal built with tinted acrylic (acrylic from home depot, and car tint). Looks very realistic when it comes to duplicating the reflective glass effect.

The AA-MD11 was on a stand, 30 second messy photoshop job gave it the "landing gear retracting" effect... or kinda.

Stay tuned, as long as I have time I will be posting updated pictures soon.

So far, they've helped with bags, helped find hotel accommodations and
ground transportation, provided cold water, even bought several passengers
something to eat. We've also passed out thousands of brochures explaining the
new parking and security rules in simple terms.

wwwtinman · 11-09-2009, 02:50 PM

Here's a sneak peak at the upcoming expansion....
Plenty of work still to be done, taxiway lines, gates, runway, lake, etc...

ct2399 · 11-09-2009, 10:31 PM

Wow Tinman...looks great man! Can't wait to see the whole project complete.
Keep us updated.

wwwtinman · 11-11-2009, 03:15 PM

shelved!

working on tarmac, taxi ways and jet ways!

DELTA-711 · 11-11-2009, 03:22 PM

the shelves you have set up look great....... what a good idea to display the models

aero_bay · 11-12-2009, 06:33 PM

The "Shelve Airports" are top notch! Great idea + Geat work, Cheers for posting!!!!

airbro · 11-13-2009, 12:49 AM

I think this airport going to need another runway! Amazing work. You should add some landing lights.

runway #2 is part of the plan, however it will require a slight extension since my current runway is barely enough for commuter jets and small equipment. It will run parallel to the current runway on the opposite side of the airport terminals, i would like for it to be twice as long but no room to do that.
I'm conscidering lights for the tarmac on the shelves, less complicated to stow away than the entire plywood sheet. I already have fiberoptics and rice leds to work on this project, so fingers crossed for tons of patience and time off!!

Ben24 · 12-20-2009, 02:17 PM

What scale is this

ModelAirports on Youtube · 12-20-2009, 07:30 PM

Whoa, you've taken homemade airports to a whole new level. nice

Stay tuned; tarmac lines and terminal lighting to be completed soon.

wwwtinman · 01-11-2010, 06:00 PM

Refurbished main terminals + tarmac lines....

ct2399 · 01-14-2010, 08:40 AM

Great job man...love the pictures! Keep 'em coming...

AnonCollector · 01-14-2010, 08:50 AM

Hope that A380 doesn't fall off the shelf.

I like the shelf idea the best - you can get a nice display in, without dominating a room of your house.

Shouldn't anytime soon, i actually angled shelves inward about 2 degrees, obviously not enough to notice. Also secured the shelves with 30lb tested ancors, my babies aren't going down anytime soon!

we think alike!

time limitations haven't allowed for as many updates and this probably will not change for another few weeks, but can't wait to do more work on it.

As long as your airport is in 1:400 or 1:500 scale, and you have been invited, then you are in. I do request you have a functioning website for you airport, as well as a name, so that I can add it to the alliance website. You can email me at globeallianceairports@live.com
