This is my first project, half way trough its ”final” touches. I still have many stuff to make on this section.

If others havent followed me on my previous posts.
They can find the DAC thread here ---> Custom made Jetbridges 1:400 by C-rex ( 1 2 )

Here’s the story of this one. Its funny how it all started with the box on the corner, attached some square tubings on the sides, made the jetbridges and glued them together with a cab on the aircraft end and a rotunda on the terminal end. I added a stair and and some minor stuff on it. But that’s just about it. My ongoing works on those parts are at holt right now until I get my lazy *** over to the hobby shop and buy paint, tools to round off the sharp edges (suggested by other collectors)
I started working on the GSE’s, made the belly containers in two sizes, 1 tug and a fire truck, plus 5 airport buses, you know the big ones. Since I grew tired on making those (which require patience as well as time to cut them up in small pieces. Giving those a break for a little while, I jumped over to the ground, I thought it was cool weathering the ground (I started giving them some tire marks) and I think the results that you below looks pretty good. Obviously it needs more love and would probably look even better when I include some darkgrey/lightgrey paint when I go to the hobby shop. It the GSE roadways looks amateurish imo. So you guys don’t need to mind me about that. Its still a prototype as I couldn’t wait to finish it.
My working philosophy is that to never stop if you can’t accomplish something, just work on another part instead, otherwise one will never get to finish the work.

So please enjoy my half-finished airport work, that I really enjoyed making to show you guys my work. The way I had worked and developed the jetbridges will be used as inspirations for myself, since these are the prototypes, the basics will probably used for future works.
I’m really impressed of my work, but I bet that it can be much better looking, as time will tell.

I will be making tutorials soon if anyone requests them.

I will have to thanks custom-makers like QFA388 especially CO735, who have contributed on my DAC thread Custom made Jetbridges 1:400 by C-rex and helped me with his own version and photos"CO735 - View Single Post" and SteveJ, his contributions regading his photos of his worldport is very inspiring, It will take time till I get mine as cool as looking as his worldport. SteveJ's Worldport

And most of all thanks to all the other collectors from the W900 who have come with suggestions and fine comments. I really appreciate them, guys !

---Thank you so much to my fellow collectors from W900 and DAC ---

Again I expressed myself for not making it that good regading the GSE roadways. I promise I will give more love next time I redo the ground.


Don't laught about special markings for my supporters. and the CAB rotaing point. I was just folling around, I know they look hideous, they will look alot different and better when Im done.

That building look so bold... Hmmm... *think* think* think*


As you can see, its not the best custom GSE you have seen, but I think they look good considering they are prototypes.


Sorry for the blank out square on the corner. Its a little surprise that is not related to this section.


I have so many more things to learn as to better distribute the tiremarks. *sigh*







Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

This looks great!!! With the details of your jetbridges, will you consider making any "over wing" jetways in the future?

WN737

That looks amazing! Your tarmac is great, I really like it. Those jetways look even better now.

C-Rex

Wow, Are you serious dude.. Is it that great ? Im so surprised to read this myself. Thanks buddy !

Well my intentions at the beginning was to make an overwing like this one of AMS..But I thought I should start making a simple one first, how the tubings all works in term of being able to extend and retract etc etc..

Its not really a problem now as I know what Im dealing with. It all come to my imaginations and finding the correct materials for it. The Metal pylon will be the biggest challenge, but nothing I should fear, right ?

Here's a shot that I want to make.

Thank you very much Sir.

I really appreciate the comments, coming from a custom-maker himself.

Don't worry, you will be surprised to see the final results of the jetways.

Btw, I like what you did with the mini-passengers on your Terminal thread. * clap*

Did you use a pincet when putting them down ? Haha

It shouldnt be that hard. Or yet, be creative and create a different over-wing jetway design that doesnt look like the ones at AMS

C-Rex

It shouldnt be that hard either, this AMS photo was just to give you an example of what could be done, as I dont know whom other airport are operating such overwing jetbridges. I am only familiar with AMS OW bridges.
