Yeah you did! I can't wait to see the pics! Any idea of how many people were in attendence. I can imagain that a GATs in a large metro area like LA or NY could be 5x what we get in the smaller cities. Although we're all eager to see the pics, take (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

I saw your pics on brickshelf was amazed! Do you have anymore detail pics of the airport? For our last display at a local mall I was responsible for an airport for a static display. Are the planes and terminal minifig scale? While my next one might (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

Hello Tim, We will have more pictures and lots of explanation on our web site(www.scltc.org) in a few days, but to answer your question, yes, the airport is in minifig scale and it is incredible. Stay tuned... Robert Powell SCLTC (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

Tim - I built the airport terminal and my dad built the airplanes and jetways. My brother added a motor to the small prop plane to spin the propellers. They are all minifig scale. I decided while building my terminal that the LEGO standard 4-wide (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Thomas, I'm working on a minifig scale airport (grey + white with exterior glass) now that'll occupy a large grey base plate and more. The scheduled completion is when the sucessor to the 3033 comes out in April with the XTreme Team and (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc)

Tim - Right now, I don't have any better pictures of the tower than what you can see on our website (www.scltc.org/pages.../air.htm). When I designed the tower, my goal was to make the vertical section as tall and as visually interesting as (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc)

(...) Thomas, funny that Military Airbase thing is what *I* was thinking when building my previous models. Canada built a bunch of Airfields for the BCATP durring WWII. Two years ago I spent 6 weeks on one of these decommisioned bases, and after (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc)

Tim - Sounds cool. I like the idea of two rows of the giant blue windshields. That probably means though that you should make the vertical section at least 14-6 in diameter and a lot taller, or else something will look out of proportion. After I (...)
