Looking really good, especially as a fellow retro builder. Can't wait to see the progress. Keep up the great work.

I forgot to add some photos of the complete terminal, with jetways attached. This was a test fit, of course, and it went very
smoothly.

The view if you were landing on runway 23R:

I’ve arrived to IND once in January 2006 late in darkness. Left next day late in darkness. So I have been there but no idea of how it looks. However a nice project when finished

 

[Purpleplane]

That is beautiful!

Thank you. You did a great job on the 3D printing....very little sanding needed.

Wow! That looks awesome. Would love to know what materials you used, and if you intend to paint it? Great job! Abraços, S

As some of you may have seen on other sites, I am currently working on a 1/400th scale model of the old IND airport terminal (circa 1974-2008)
My son did a tremendous amount of work on it, designing it to be 3D printed and also doing custom ground foils for the base board. it will occupy a space 6 ft X 6 ft when completed. I do have a few photos to share of the progress so far:
Completed ground foils:View attachment 674View attachment 675
Concourse A:View attachment 683View attachment 682Conciurse B:View attachment 684View attachment 689Concourse C:View attachment 691View attachment 695
And finally, concourse D:View attachment 696
There's still plenty of work yet to do...painting, decals, etc. At least I am able to display it as is for now.

Oh my goodness that looks fantastic. Marvelous job absolutely stunning.!!!!

Thank you. It's 3D printed in resin. Yes, it will eventually be painted.

It's actually printed in PLA.

It's actually printed in PLA.

Oh, I didn't know that. It's good stuff.

The old airport was cool but the new KIND terminal opened in 08 also has a great design and is a big step up on the inside for passengers.

Yes, the new terminal is amazing. It's won several awards already.

 

[CM Aviation]

Quite innovative and has a really neat design. I would like to check out the inside!

 

[Purpleplane]

Yes, it's a beautiful building with plenty of space...nice wide corridors.

 

[OscarBravo992]

Very nice! This looks unreal!

 

[Purpleplane]

It is amazing.

Wow! Loving the classic design of rotunda and piers galore!

 

[Purpleplane]

Thank you. It'll be a fun project.
