Default Airport Update

I am currently building a 1:400 model of the Midland/Odessa Airport in Texas, aka KMAF, and thought I would post a picture of my progress. Eventually there will be lights, inside and out. I have many photos of the terminal so it should be pretty accurate. Completion date should be somewhere around Christmas of this year.

The picture sucks but I took it with a camera phone since we don't have a digital camera yet. These are just a few of the side walls on the terminal.

Here is the basic plan. American Eagle, Continental Express, and Southwest are the airlines that fly to MAF.

If you made as many real model airports as you did computer graphics of airports, you'd have a HUGE airport by now...

Wildcatfootball, I think you are thinking of Ms.GSE who never did anything else that make computer drawings.
In this case AmericaWestAirlines is making the airport.

Looks like a good airport.
Good luck,
FlyNavy

Nice! Speaking of camera phones, how the hell do you upload them to your computer?

Just take the picture and then send it to your email and that's it. It is part of your monthly payment though, only about $1.99 a month to send unlimited pictures. Hope this helps.

Here is the last update. The next time you will see pics is when it is finished. Anyway all I have to do is build the roof, paint it, put windows in, and lights. I will probably be finished with everything, terminal and tarmac, by Christmas. Again, I took these pics with a camera phone. We still haven't got a digital camera yet.

Hey AWA dude, are you going to have a taxi-way and runway, or just the terminal.

I won't have a runway but I will have one or two taxi-way areas. I still have to make the tarmac.
