Custom Built Jetways

I gave cardstock a shot as a building material. Maybe these are a bit small, but they move great. What do you think?

I think the new Gemini set with the airbridges are the best for know. Much better than Herpa, and more realistic.

Thanks. I used some 8.5x14in medium cardstock. The tubes are 1.4cm squares, and 1.3cm squares so they fint nicely inside each other. Windos are just laser printed and cutout and pasted. Its amazing what a little gluestick can do to hold it together.

Maybe sometime this summer I'll build a better teminal that isnt traslucent green.
