Default My finished PAN AM Worldport

Finally after 4 months of work I was able to complete a project very dear to me. I took these photos without airplanes. I will take some more this weekend (with airplanes parked). I did add an A380 gate so I can take photos of A380s parked at the Worldport. Aside from this I tried to stick with what I was able to obtain from photos, books, internet, etc...

I hope you like it Steve,

"BRAVO Looks great, where are are the aeroplanes? Looks great with all the vehicles, I could never find good vehicles save for the HE 1/500. The Plastruc looks good, I think it would work good with some 1/200 stuff that I am slowly being "sucked" into.

It's great as I have said before you are trully talented, the only things that are missing from the rare of the terminal are the Moble people movers, which where called " Plane Mates" which were used when there was not enough gates available. Out side from that it's a great model. Thank you for sharing.

Ramon:

Your Worldport is just stunning. A person could spend hours looking at all the details. I think we need to have you and SteveJ meet with your Worldports and have a good old fashioned showdown. Both of you are to be commended on your work.

Why don't you learn how to spell the proper way first...and you're from the UK??? Please have some respect for others and do not spam this thread with links to your site. This is a thread on an awesome airport and your comments are appreciated but not the spamming!
