Thank you. I'm really happy with the way it's coming together.

Amazing stuff!

 

[Purpleplane]

Thank you. I can't wait to get it finished.

I just finished painting concourse C. Here's a couple of photos:
Looking south, showing gates C2, C4, and C10 from left to right.

Looking north, showing from left to right gates C7, C6, C5, C3 and C1.

I still need to add the window and door decals and jetways, those will be done after concourse D is done. I'll be finishing up painting on it soon.

 

[Purpleplane]

Concourse D is almost finished. Just need a few minor touch ups:
From the south looking north:

And from the north looking south.

I'll probably start on painting the jetways next, then the parking garage, and then all of the window and door decals.

Fantastic! I'm in awe of your work my friend. The attention to detail and accuracy is next level. Definitely one of the best dioramas out there, wish I could make me anywhere near your level.

Thank you. Most of the credit goes to @aroeske, he did the 3D printing on it.

The main terminal is now completely painted, including the details..rooftop air conditioners, etc.

Wow. This project is truly incredible, looking forward to seeing the final product!

 

[Purpleplane]

Thank you. It shouldn't take too long to get it finished. All that's left are painting the jetways, parking garage, support columns for the concourses, and finally applying the decals for the windows and doors.

Just got the jetways for concourse A painted.. Here's some pics:
Overall view.

Of course, I had to spot some planes:

Just finished painting the jetways for Concourse B:
From bottom right clockwise. Gate B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and B6


American 707-323B at gate B1, and American 727-223 at gate B2:

Delta 727-232A at gate B4, and a Delta DC-9-31 at Gate B6:

I still need to do the support columns on the connection between the terminal and the concourse. That will be done after all jetways are finished.. Concourse C is next

Thank you. I'm so happy with the way this is all coming together. It's a slow process, but it's well worth it.

 

[GeminiJetsMyTravel]

Looking very impressive, can't wait to see when its all together. Going to be so jealous.

 

[Purpleplane]

Thank you. All I have left are 20 jetways to paint, about 3 dozen support columns to paint and install. Then it's time to put all of the window and door decals on, and then the parking garage will be the last to be painted and assembled.

Great progress so far! Loving the terminal with the jetways and planes already going to it for testing!
