Possible Attempt at an airport - JAX

guru2k2 · 05-24-2005, 09:29 PM

heres a link to the actual airport photo, since it doesnt seem to be showing up: http://photos.airliners.net/middle/8/6/2/653268.jpg

Ok, I'm thinking about making an airport. My idea is to take the current Jacksonville Int'l Airport and roughly make it 1/400 scale. Maybe take those the terminals, a partial runway, and a cargo center for like 3 cargo planes.

-The terminal on the left will be for Domestic Carriers domestic flights.
-The terminal on the right will be Domestic Carriers international/Canadian flights.
-The middle will be International carriers.

The real JAX isnt very busy, but for imaginations sake lets say it became semi-busy with some regular international flights. just a few though.

I may make some personal changes to it, such as some colors, put more taxiway and parking lines, and maybe make the terminals a little more renovated. For obvious space reasons, i will move the runway closer to the terminal and not have as much open grass space. These among other things. My goal isnt to replicate it perfectly, but to have a nice place where i can show my planes and have just a hint of reality

No foils, just paint, tape, pens, and pencils. Within the next two weeks i hope to go to Homedepot and a hobby shop to look for materials and slowy build throughout the summer. wish me luck!

It might just be my computer, but there is no picture at the top. Instead there is a red "x". Is this happening to any one else??
As far as the plans, I like it. Can't wait to see it compeleted.

I can see if I can get you some shots and the new terminal plan, and taxiway plan.

Forgot to add earlier, they are planning to do an expansion to the terminal, so there will be even more gates, there is not too much details on it yet. I will try to keep you posted.
