Skystorm87 Posted April 1, 2012 B-OV-28D Hello! Easter is coming and it's now time to book an holyday! I suggest to use my new Lego airport for your holyday if you want to visit my Legoland city full of historical buildings (like the egyptian tomb or the cathedral that you may see in the pictures). Talking seriously, I've finished to adjust the small airport of my city and I'm eventually happy with the result even if I would like to expand it and create a proper aiport hub (with terminals, fuel facilities, a proper runway). At the moment is integreated in my small city which is still very work in progress! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2012 Nice little airport, but you will have to make the runways longer unless the aircraft are of a VTOL design. It has that mid-70's Lego feel to it. I look forward to it expansion.....Brick On Fly On 'Skystorm87' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_spock Posted April 1, 2012 Lovely little classic airport. There is even a post office next to it for fast airmail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MetroiD Posted April 1, 2012 Cozy-looking airport; very sweet, Skystorm! My suggestion? Turn that into an airforce base, replace the airplanes with a couple of Eurofighter jets and you won't need to waste any space on runways And I agree - this MOC does bring back memories of old Legoland Airport sets.

lightningtiger Posted April 10, 2012 Runway is still a little too short.....your airport would end up on Air Crash Investigation ! I hate to say it but twice the distance would be a minimum even if you use the older classic town planes.....unless they all have VTOL engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WideWiiLover Posted April 12, 2012 LOL the Aircraft Investigation thing is funny, i watch that all the time. Nice Airport. Fits well with the theme of your town. (or what we can see of it) I am assuming when you make your airport bigger, you will be including jetway's? Brick on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 12, 2012 Those covered ramp are great ...nice airport! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(or what we can see of it) I am assuming when you make your airport bigger, you will be including jetway's? Brick on! I think the Aircraft investigation will be necessary anyway. I was thinking to destroy my city and make a great airport with a nice airport train station, but then I realized that I prefer to expand the city and make the airport slightly bigger but not huge. Actually I think is even to big for a village of 100 Lego inhabitants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm87 Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Hello! Here some updates of my Airport which now has a proper runway! I also changed the gates and make them more functional. I am planning to make some more additions but I don't really know what to do with the space left. Any suggestions? Edited May 27, 2014 by Skystorm87 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted May 27, 2014 Nice new runway. Although you could have raised the old Runway and Terminal. Placing a car park underneath, and extending the Runway over the railway tracks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm87 Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks! I wanted to raise the runway but I have a problem with the horizon express which requires very large tunnel entrances as its head doesn't follow well the tracks, but I may do it in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAKAbricks Posted May 30, 2014 The new gates look much more realistic and useful, Skystorm87. I can see there is not much space left, but have you been thinking about a train station at the airport? Maybe you could combine the airport terminal and station in one building? Eventually build it above the tracks, though it will be a tall building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm87 Posted June 2, 2014 Yes of course I am planning to build a station! Does somebody has some experience about curved platforms? I think the airport will be out of proportion with respect to the other buildings in my city if I try to raise it over the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
