Weekly Report No 438, CW 12

From Monday, 16.03.2009 until Sunday, 22.03.2009

We start with a ride for children which one knows - for instance - from shopping malls. For a couple of cents kids can try to fly , or…

…try to race a mini scooter.

Of course, one can also show off how to handle weights…

This gentleman will be the future master of the lifts in the airport section. All in all, six lifts will carry the passengers…

…to the platforms of the airport station. Just in case, you didn't think further: all models shown above will of course be functional.

For some airport vehicle we started a serial production. Here, about 30 gangways are built which are needed for airplanes that cannot dock onto the terminal fingers.

In report 429 we already showed you a relatively large parking garage. Now the model builders started a considerably larger parking lot which requires a specially built table to work on since the baseplate is so huge. On this table, the complete building will be assembled piece by piece.

Many parts still have to be crafted by hand, as for instance, the pillars...

…which Tina cuts to length in this picture.

Not only large buildings get their share of attention; the small ones are also taken care of. Here, Bobby finished the club house for the garden allotment. This model also received a transparent roof on one side, so that one can watch the activities inside the house.

Now let's have a look at the larger models. Here we see Mathias as he stands at the basic electrical wiring scheme for the airport. Every light for airplane traffic has already been marked up by Gerrit and will now be transferred to the already set up…

…runway and the taxiways.

During the last days, we saw Gerrit, Gerhard, and René quite often standing in the airport section and discuss detail questions which pop up every now and then.
