It's time to show another fantasy airport which is situated in Northeast Germany and is called "Western Baltic International". It`s not a great thing but maybe it helps someone to start his own project. As I found no lasting place in my flat, it a became a "moveable" airport. The basis is rugged "package paper". The buildings are made of massive wood - nothing else would endure this kind of treatment (and that of my children:wink:). For basic painting I use Revell colours (this small pots). All buildings will get paper decals in the next months or years.... Thanks to great Imogenia-homepage, I tried to make my own cars (first tries), because it looks much more realistic with that kind of details. Hopefully, I can soon report on construction progress.
The airport is "timeless" and served by a mixture of airlines and aircrafts starting from the late 80ies until now. Starting to collect Schabaks twenty years ago, I planned to construct DUS airport, thus LTU is still a dominating airline at WBIA. It has two crossing runways and one terminal with four piers. In pier A and B you find Star Alliance airlines. Pier A is connected to the terminal via a "skywalk" and has the only parking position for an A380. Pier D is mainly used by LTU/Air Berlin Group. Most other airlines are found at pier C. Of course, there is a small museum with historic aircrafts and an observation deck closed to RWY 14. :smile:.

That's it for today. There are no horrible airports, they are just the beginning of great projects...:wink:

Looks good so far. Hope you will paint your terminals soon.
But I can't see the crossing runways.

A good start! The A, B & C terminal plan reminds me of St Louis Lambert Airport whilst A itself reminds me a bit of Geneva. When you've got limited space it makes much more sense to make up your own airport like this. Please keep us updated with progress.

The remote parking is cool too. I always wanted to do remote parking at IMO but the piers kept on getting longer and swallowed it up!
