Awesome model! This is the best instance of customizing the Herpa buildings that I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more pics!

I agree with Carlos, looks great. What did you use to make it look so unique?

wildcatfootball · 07-23-2005, 12:02 AM

Thats a lotta herpa buildings... But looks good modified.

matt2004 · 07-23-2005, 01:10 AM

Are those the herpa rounded dep. halls on the bottom for pic. # 1?

anime' · 07-23-2005, 04:56 AM

If any of you had any clue, you would know that none of those are herpa buildings. Only the ones at each end of the concourse.

It's still a very nice illusion, though.

Try blocks of wood etc with windows designed on computer and glued on?

I tried using pieces of cut 1x4 and 2x4's but that was too heavy. I just folded cardboard into rectangles and used foam circles for the round halls. But yes, I just copied the art from the few Herpa buildings I have, on a flatbed printer. Used 60grit sandpaper for the roof. The tower is my favorite though. I cut a 20oz. coke bottle, spraypainted it white , then glued a row of windows and a roof to it.

It took about two weeks of spare time to complete to this point. Next time I will be pateint and spend more time squaring up the edges and corners.

one more blury pic, showing off a few imperfections.

LOT 737-300 · 07-23-2005, 08:54 PM

So I see. No one would have guessed it was cardboard and foam circles. This is giving me some good inspiration to improve my airport. Also, very unique idea, never thought that something like a coke bottle can become a tower. Again, excellent job!

I won the mexicana 75 on ebay, I would not guess its rare cause I only paid 9.99 plus shipp. It is old Gen. Herpa, did not think anyone looked for that stuff anymore.
