Saarinen TWA Terminal, JFK

bosmaury · August 19th, 2009, 11:36 PM

Hello,

I'm new to the forums and thought I'd post pictures of my 1:400 diorama of Eero Saarinen's TWA terminal at JFK. The diorama is based on 1988 and it is still in the works.

Comments appreciated!

Enjoy!
Brian

Here are some photos of another JFK model I made: Terminal 1.

Enjoy!

I can't see it.

Oh my god! Amazing! I also collect 1/400 and 1/500 scale aircraft, very expensive hobby of mine! How long have you been working on this?

Thanks! Nice to see some diecast aircraft collectors here! It took 4 months to get to this point working on and off... Still waiting to find more TWA planes and saving up to buy GSE for the model.

Wow. I started collecting 1/500 for about 3 or 4 years and I just got into Gemini Jets last year. I don't have very many of them though. 250 bucks baught me like 7 planes! And the airport I really want is the same price. I am going to vegas in less than a week and that is where I go to the airplane shop. But a more local place that I buy them is the museum of flight at boeing field.

So are the terminals made of paper? I've never seen them anywhere.

xeno · August 20th, 2009, 12:08 AM

wow! really neat. I love stuff like that.

Yeah they are extremely expensive. Have you checked out Inflight 1/200's? They are amazing. I just got into collecting them but they run around $150-$200 a pop! The detail is fantastic though.

The terminal is scratch built of cardboard and balsa wood.

Holy S*it! I thought 30$ was enough, but I would never imagine 200$ for one single plane! How do you get the money for that?

Haha, I only own two of those as of yet. Just buying what I like, doubt I'll collect more than 5 as they take up so much space.

Anyway, here is another model I just recently built for someone: Bilbao International Airport by Santiago Calatrava. This one can light up on the inside.

That is absolutely amazing!

You should try making SEA TAC or DXB sometime.
