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 not be as big as that one I'll try to keep to
minifig scale. I realaise that you might not be ther person to ask but I'm
hoping the person/people that made it will reply.

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.
