My new airport project

Henrik · 04-03-2008, 06:00 AM

Hello Everybody,

Here is a picture of my latest project. I decided to make this airport with a tropical feeling for two reasons, first: it is a nice contrast to my scandinavian airport below, that is coverd in snow, second: I had an excuse to buy the only Herpa accessory that I did not have, Palmtrees.

The buildings are from Airport Designs in England. They are nice looking I think, but they need skills and patience, when you put them together.

I will post more pictures later on

Best regards

Henrik

Here is a "close up" of the control tower. This model is a replica of the old Controltower at Heathrow airport in London.

heathrow and pan trees? Never seen that before. Its really nice mate.

Abraxas · 04-03-2008, 07:29 AM

Nice work. and it's good to see a lot more of these London Design buildings popping up. I have been constructing mine as well, but don't really have too much to show for it just yet.

Keep us updated... the tower looks like a tricky building to have put together!

Your airports look great, good idea using a shelf for another airport. I bet the Heathrow control tower took you a while to make, well worth it though.

Did you use spray mount glue to stick the pavements down with, was it successful.

I used wallpaper glue to stick down the foils. I have bad experiance of using Spray Mount in my earlier projects. This is my third airport by the way, so it now starts to be a little tight in this room. Maybe it's time to see a psycologist. Ha ha..

Looks good! Looks like your running outa room there

Henrik · 04-04-2008, 06:37 AM

Hello,

Here are som "close up" pictures of the hangar area.

Abraxas · 04-04-2008, 07:25 AM

Henrik,

do you have the satellite building as well? (The circular/octagonal one). There aren't any photos of this building in a proper diorama setting on the London Designs website, when you get some time I wouldn't mind seeing some photos of yours.

I'm (as we speak) constructing another part of my terminal. Patience is the key!

Hello Abraxas,

Here is a picture of the octagon terminal. It is connected to the main terminal, so in this diorama it's no satellite.

Enjoy!

Henrik

Abraxas · 04-04-2008, 09:23 AM

Thanks Henrik. It all looks great

Will see how my own project develops, I was thinking of using the Satellite also, but I think I've got a new design which won't need it, unless I expand in the future!

Regards,

Dan
