Just a few "in progress" photos of my new project. Still a long way to go.

Looks good, I was wondering how you were making out with this since you mentioned you were building it some time ago. This one is a b#tch to build, I tried re-doing some portions of mine with evergreen plastic, too many cuts. Are you adding the lighting ?

I have been too busy at work, but I am back working on this project. It took me over 3 wks just to finish the roof of the main building.

Yes; it is a b#tch to do. I am using evergreen throughout the project (with brickface sheet). I was able to get the book you mentioned a while back (as well as some photos from airliners.net).

I am not sure about the lighting. At this point I just want to get beyond the parking lot.

I had a very hard time finding good photos, eventually I found the correct brick face and re-sided the entire terminal, there are too many details that are easy to do but take a lot of time, I found it easier to concentrate on one area then take a break for a while and go back and add something else, after a year and a half I'm still rebuilding sections, the evergreen looks really good but thats a lot cutting, hats off to you!

Mingjim, Mingjim...great progress. I like the way you work.
one question: I do not use evergreen but I'd like to know what is the thickness of the terminal walls.
thanks

The book I was refering to did not have any EAL at JFK, try Airliners.net . Good luck.
