and a few more.

Hello all! I finally got this complete. This was a real challenge doing by hand. Now it's time to enjoy and display some models. Thank you all for the replies and thank you to Clipper Models (clippermodels.com) for sending me some parts for the gates so I was able to customize this.

Thanks again everyone! Here's another update from the last week:

They both look like really fun builds. Interesting how both airports have ground level gates going up. I'm a sucker for minimalism, so Peoria looks fun. Quad Cities reminds me of Des Moines, IA which I actually did back in 2006(no pictures though, sadly). Thanks again! Update from today...

Here's an update for this Thursday evening! Thanks again everyone! The basic structure in complete. I'm going to go over some wall and roofing detail as well as filling in some color coloring on the roofing ledges. Here's a little more history on AMA in the link...

Thank you all again! Here's a Friday evening update:

Thank you all! Here's another update: I'm beginning the curvilinear and sloped roofing as well as the airport operations side (which most likely was part of the old terminal based on the looks of it and location). This has been a real challenge, but fun. I'll keep more coming as I go.

Update from tonight:
