It’s been a while!
While these photos aren’t new by any means, I wanted to show off a super old airport board I made back in 2018! It used the GJ terminal with my own hand painted ground markings. It uses similar materials to what I use now, just a bit simpler in terms of detail (no clear coat, now weathering, etc). I’m unsure how I managed to get all my ground markings so perfect and even (albeit not 100% realistic like I do now) but i’m impressed with my work from 7 or so years ago! Unfortunately this has since been painted over now but it’s a good way to see how far i’ve already come!
These first few photos were from an earlier version, the hardstands were different and the gate area didn’t have concrete lines or anything. It featured 7 gates, 1 true widebody and 1 up to a 767, the rest were all up to a 757. Hardstands could fit 3 narrowbody or a range or E170 sized with up to a 767 beside them.

This seems to be version 2, now with more concrete lines, gate marking changes, and new hard stand layout with a small commuter terminal. You’ll notice I added another gate using that double jet bridge that comes with the terminal, plus the regional area becomes a true regional area only for 3 E170 sized aircraft. The gate markings reflect AAs current gate markings, I assume I was emulating what was happening at PHL around the time of the merger.

More to come soon! I’ve been in a rut and life has been life-ing recently. I need to finish PHL and start some more fun projects here soon!
