nice pictures. How are the UPS operations coming?

Also one question, i just bought a Herpa hangar and it looks great but it doesn't stay together to well. Do you glue it together? I was thinking about doing that.

I have about 190 models. The models are set up on the Diorama per a schedule. So the look of the Diorama changes depending on the time of Day. I just reset the diorama for 11:00 AM local Time. Currently there are about 80 models being diplayed. I can reach each area of the Diorama (I am 6 Ft 5 inches tall with long arms. Howerver I buit the diorama in sections. and put it together like a puzzle. I will be taking it apart soon for maintance (dusting, tape replacemnet etc.) I will be building another small piece this winter (16 inches by 48 inches). I will relocate the hangers thereand use the current hanger for small terminal (6 to 9) narrowbody gates (If Jet Blue Models 500 scale models become available this will be their new home). The current puzzle consists of 2 (4 ft by 8 ft pieces), 1 ( 16 inch by 8 ft) piece and 4 (assorted smaller pieces). Total Dimension approx 10 feet X 8 Feet irregular(80 sq feet). There are 5 Pax terminals 108 gates, 2 Cargo Terminals (26 stands), 2 hangers, and remote parking for about 50 models depending on size.
