lol. naw dont buy it from me unless youre desperate. they arent 110% finely made down to the details. just detailed enough to get great pictures with them.

all you need is some patience and some measuring skills. takes me about 2 hours to make one double jetway. its doable and im no architect or engineer by any means

Those triple jetways are Incredible! Now, you just have to make the catering truck to fit the A380! Have you been to Lufthansa's website? It has everything about the new technology for the A380. BTW, did anyone win that competition?

To the airforce base?
-cover the green ground with "vegetation"
-cover all green parts you see with dense pine tree growth and undergrowth (takes hours and hours to make trees cuz those darn foam leaves keep falling off the tacky glue!!! which is why i havent done any lately haha)
-LED the inside of the hangars
-brown empty lot you see upper left will have a camo warehouse/train fixing area
-obtain herpas black bunny f-14 and build me a custom USAF 737 or something so its not all figher jets. maybe 2 raptors? maybe build myself a 1:200 hasegawa c130?
-entry way with guard tower, bared wired fences/gates, etc

To the commercial airport?
-domestic ramp that will look much like my international one i have now with 3 smaller terminals for a320s, 757s, 737s, will have 2 remote stands if i can fit them too
-a interchangeable concourse building that will sit behind the domestic/international terminal depnding on what i want (to save space) with control tower and roads for cars to drop off passengers. there will also be a "glass" arched roof for the concourse building to give my airport the grand feel of SFOs or Kansais. maybe a couple of arches like that building they have at LAX at the entrance.
-finish ramp lighting/LEDs

To the cargo ramp?
-finish ramp lighting/LEDs
-connect and wire warehouse LEDs to power source


other than those three, ill be done. i dont have anymore room to dream any bigger.

Kaitanium, I was just wondering if you could show us step-by-step construction on your jet ways like QF did? I would really like to build one.
