Thank you. It was always something I wanted to do as it reminded me of the years I would walk from terminal to terminal spotting aircraft from all over the world.

Thanks. If you type in You Tube "Airport Diorama Brian Keene" you'll find a total of three videos of interest. More to come.

Hey that's Great! I'm delivering a 1:400 scale display of the Marine Air Terminal as it appeared in the '40's at the end of September. C'mon back!

@@briankeene1468 I will be there. Tell me what day and we can link up! Thank you so much for the great news.

@@chamkila911 Sure. I'll be setting it up on Sept. 28th and moving the Worldport to a new display case in another area of the PA museum.

@@briankeene1468 Just to confirm Saturday Sept 28, 2024 you will be at the Cradle Of Aviation Museum.

@@chamkila911 Sorry. Been out of the country. Just saw your message. Yes- the Marine Air Terminal is now on display at the PA Museum.

Hey Thanks- It started off as a one terminal idea and just took off from there. It gave me a reason to collect a lot of wonderful models!!

Thanks for your comments. I'm in the process of building T3 at LHR as it appeared in the '70's.

Great! That's the idea!

@@briankeene1468 yeah I tried making my model airport just a week ago and it was kinda hard but I made it the airport is halfway done as of right now!

Thank you so much 😀

Glad you had a chance to see it up close.

Yes indeed. As a young boy- I thought it would stay the same forever but I didn't realize that change is constant. Part of the reason I built this was to honor that memory.

@briankeene1468 yep, I can agree, although I was very little when the worldport,sundrome, and the Old terminal 8 were around however I did fly out of kennedy Airport back then on PIA airlines and I'm not sure wich terminal it came at but now the terminals 2,1 and 7 are getting demolished so yeah but my grandpa used to work at jfk throughout the late 90s and early 2000s so he tells me story's all the time and it's like as if jfk is gonna be growing forever!

Thanks so much for you encouraging words. I truly enjoy every aspect including the research, problem solving the architecture, scouting out the rare models, and creating a wow factor with customized materials. Like any realistic scene you are never happy until you have added as much detail as possible. Let me know what you think of the exhibit when you pass through the terminal someday.

@@briankeene1468 I will for sure. Thanks again!

Thanks . Do you mean a review of each of the models?

When it comes to building period pieces- you have to pick a specific time frame of no more than 10 years. If you begin to mix models of several decades, it no longer looks realistic. I picked the seventies because that was the time frame that had the most impact on me.

Thanks. I have a couple of additional videos including this one:ua-cam.com/video/Q9DEIWOKCIA/v-deo.html

Here is another video on JFK ua-cam.com/video/Mz2A_C6Oc2Q/v-deo.html

Thanks. How big is your airport diorama?

Thanks for your comments. JFK Airport was very unique and included a nice mix of aircraft types in the seventies. You might want to check out my other video of a TWA Flight Center install at the TWA Hotel.

Primarily through Ebay. Check JetX 1:400 cars. Also- a website called Shapeways. They have 3D printed vehicles.

This airport can be broken down into lightweight foam boards that are 3 x 4 feet and easily storable in a standard closet.

@@briankeene1468 true I do have a large storage area

@@briankeene1468hello, I’m moving to Houston and luckily my room is massive so I can finally build a model airport. I’m thinking of recreating Boston Logan airport terminal c and e since when I first moved to the United States I came via Boston. I measured out the section I want to recreate of Boston Logan and it should be 5.6ft by 5.6ft.

@@Mo_Aviation Congratulations on the move to Houston. I lived there for several years and enjoyed it. Your dimensions sound about right. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about your vision.

@@briankeene1468 thanks, I’m pretty excited about the project and my vision is to include most of the t section part of terminal c and include at lest the old part of terminal E and I do wanna include the atc so I wanna shift the parking space a little bit to include the whole atc tower

Appreciate your comment

Thank you for subscribing. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks for your comments. The PA 747's are primarily Geminjets and the SP's are NG. I've thought about Miami. Currently researching Heathrow. I'm partial to a lot of 747's!

Oh and the RG 747 is Aeroclassics.

Thanks!

Haha. Thanks so much. Let's hope you found a new hobby! If you need any advice feel free to reach out. It was great fun.

Thanks for your kind words. I have all the templates if I need to create a duplicate. We're currently discussing displaying the other terminal models at JFK. Stay tuned.

The terminal is quite stunning. Transports us back to the seventies! I tried to capture that excitement in this display.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Doug!! Great fun.

Thank you. If you're ever at JFK, the TWA Hotel (and diorama) is definitely worth visiting. It feels like your transported back to the seventies.

Thanks. It was a lot to live up to! Hopefully it will be on display for many years!

That is a great question. When I first connected with the TWA Hotel, they wanted the flexibility of moving the display in case they had special events (weddings, conventions, etc). I was concerned that if they moved it, the models or other parts would shift. Therefore, the only solution was to glue everything down. I realized that it means that they are forever attached, however, the Hotel purchased the display so there wont be a need to recover the models.

Thanks for your encouragement. Would love to see photos of your IAH.

Some I bought from Shapeways. They were unpainted, so had to paint them. Others I bought from a friend whose wife hand painted them.

They are hard to find...I found some from a guy that makes 3D printing...and some were colored and others white and had to paint. I can put site address if interested... my message: when you find some get them...to keep thinking you will see more....you won't. ha ha ......

Thanks for your comment. Those areas are indeed elevator shafts. Would love to see your finished product.

Yes. 747's make the best billboard for any airline. Plus they look so much cooler than garden variety narrowbodies.

@@briankeene1468 Oh, for me... it's the 727... that beauty tells classic times and the DC-8 but 727, she steals my heart.

Thank you. If you get a chance, check out the TWA Hotel at JFK. The Flight Center portion of my diorama is now on display there.

@@briankeene1468 I definitely will next time I'm over in the US

Thank you Anthony- Hopefully this effort will inspire the next generation of collectors and builders.

Yes indeed. I brought the entire 9 terminals. The PA Worldport now resides in the Cradle of Aviation Museum and the TW Flight Center is on display at the TWA Hotel at JFK.

@@briankeene1468 I thought so! what a magnificent piece of work and an honor to have seen it in person! Ill miss it at EWR show in a few weeks from now..

Thanks. I would encourage you to get started sooner rather than later. Once you see the structure coming together, it is exciting. You can start small and expand over time. Good luck.

Thanks!
