Plans for 1:500 Brookefield(BFI) renovation

SouthwestAirlines · 07-14-2010, 10:38 AM

I thought I would share my plans for the renovation of my first and second largest airport, my 1:500 scale Brookefield International. I am finally taking off the herpa airport foils that I have been using for the past 9 years and doing a 100% custom airport.
It will feature:

6 lane highway with Elevated diamond Intersections
2 parallel runways that don't end on the display(they keep going because I do not have the space to make a realistic full length runway)
65 gates( 20 SWA/AirTran/US airways gates, 14 AA/UA/CO gates, 14 International gates, and 16 Regional jet gates)
terrain along the highway with some landscaping
full lighting system including stop bars, and approach lights(similar to Frank Luke)

I am doing this airport because I was forced to move Frank Luke due to a leaking pipe and the airport was heavily damaged in the move and I need to order some new supplies for it so I might as well tackle this project while I am ordering stuff and working in the basement. Let me know what you think

Cant wait to see this and I know youll get it done.

I have completly changed the plans and now the only thing I am waiting for is to get a pipe fixed in my airport room in the basement to begin construction.

I have begun to make objects for the airport and finalized my planes. The domestic terminals will resemble the terminal layout of Phoenix Sky Harbor and I am looking at a total of 68 gates(16 Heavy, 18 RJ, 34 Narrowbody) and 2 runways. Here is a picture of one of two taxiway overp*****. These will be placed over the central airport to connect the 2 halves of the airport.

WOW I can't believe it!!! I'm really jealous of your skills...I wish I could make my airport look as nice as yours someday, but school is really in the way of it...ugh

Keep up the great work!
