Default AA Terminal complete

Can't really call it Americans terminal at LAX, had to guess at too many things, lets just call it an AA terminal based on a terminal at LAX and leave it at that.

Well done Steve!
I'm wrong or did you use adhesive strips for the white lines?

As far as building the TWA Flight center...the answer is NO!


The building walls are cardboard, the roof foam board, everthing else is Evergreen plastic. The white line is automobile trim tape, cut down to the proper width. Everthig else on the ramp is painted, using photos as a reference.
The only other project I did consider was LGA, but after a lot of research, I can't find any good photos to draw up accurate plans.

In my opinon, if he is I wish him the best of Luck, and hope it turns out Great, but having seen already steve's handy work at building various terminal models, Dylan is going to have a very tough act to follow. But my hats are off to anyone who can creat things like model buildings.

Excellent terminal! I passed through that terminal (1:1 LAX AA T4) the other day, it was so cool! I really liked the bus ride to the Eagle terminal down by AA MX.

I just went on google earth and checked out JFK Airport in NY, pretty cool but you can't really get down to too much detail to aee all of the taxiways, runways and terminals clearly. It's still a nice way to get a good idea of the airport's layout.
