All,
Today I've discovered this forum and did not hesitate to register. It is great to be here and I know that I'm going to enjoy my stay...
I would like to share this beautiful airport diorama layout with you guys...

Back in 2004 i built this magnificent diorama dsplay in 1:400 scale.

This AIRPORT DIORAMA DISPLAY was designed and built by myself (except for the building) in a magnificent 1:400 scale.
The building, aircraft passage gateways & light poles are from HERPA airport building kits.
The aircraft and ground support vehicles models are the famous DRAGON WINGS 1:400 scale models. The actual size of this diorama was 42" x 30".
As always attention to detail is exceptional. Weathered tarmac, tire marks on the runway, oil stains, natural looking grass and taxi lines are just a few examples of level of details I put into..
At first I had only North American Airlines model planes and I ended up chaning them into European Airlines liveries.
I had a lot of fun building it and it took me approx. 4 months to complete.
A great inspirational website was www.airliners.net
I ended up selling this display (incl all planes and vehicles) on Ebay in fall of 2004 at a very big price, but now I kind of regret...
Anyways... I'm planning to build a another one in the near future but it is not going to be in this small scale..I'm thinking...1:200 scale....
Enjoy the pictures...
