All of us here at Model Airplane Collectors know that it is the members who make this site what it is. It is the members who post their collections on their pages, submit articles to the magazine,

share their model airplane and airport builds on their blogs, and

interact with others in the chat room, that make this site

interesting and keep the members coming back. It is for this reason

that we decided to give something back to our members!

Model Airplane…

Their still pretty rough, and I have more work to do, but they are coming along!

 …

Fantastic model!  Stunning!  I'll just let the pics show it off!

 …

Here are some all around pics of my new United 757-200!

 …

Although mine is still higher than it should be I think it's actually a little lower than the one Waffle took a pic of.

My control tower is now mostly done. I won't be working on it any more until I install it onto the airport itself. That said, it's still pretty awesome. I used the Herpa Control Tower set, painted it, and added some 'support struts' made out of wood. The result I think is very nice, and hope you will like it too. Once it is finally installed onto the airport, there will be a blue LED inside the glass section, and a red fiber optic cable coming out the top.

Enough said, onto…

One of my displays.  On this shelf I try to display various airlines and liveries!

And here is another shelf showcasing some more of my United Airlines models!

This would be my first blog posting since joining, so if I mess something up please forgive me as I am still learning the ropes. I thought I'd start off by sharing my collection of airline fleets, which currently consists of British Airways, Alaska Air Group (Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air), and UA/CO which I now consider to be one airline. I'm sarting off with my AA collection, which is the smallest out of the three. Eventually I'm hoping to get my hands on the HG A300 and MD-11, and…

As some of you may know, I am working on building a model airport. I just recently started, and am currently working on the control tower. The plan is to have a terminal with ten heavy gates, a ramp parking area for nine narrow bodied aircraft, and a cargo area that can hold three heavy cargo aircraft. 

As I said before, the control tower is a work in progress. So now hatin'!

Control Tower "Sneak Peak"…

Well the pictures do most of the talking.

Members,

I am curious as to how many members would like to see a Forum on our site. I know there are several model airplane forums out there however I want this site to be the best model airplane site it can be. I have seen a lot of negativity on other forums and I am trying to keep a positive atmosphere on this site. I want everyone on this site to feel absolutely comfortable starting discussions, asking questions, and otherwise speaking their minds without the fear of being…
