Default question about 1:200 airport

Hey guys,
Quick question here; say that I want to construct a 1:200 airport terminal. Since I already have the GJ 1:400 airport terminal, should I just take the dimensions of the GJ terminal and multiply them by 2 to be able to build an appropriate sized 1:200 terminal?

Air Force One Fan,
I'm not doing the GJ terminal itself, I just want to use the dimensions as a starting point to make the terminal scale with my 1:200 planes. If the 1:400 terminal is correctly scale with the 1:400 planes, then I figure that if I multiply the dimensions of the terminal by 2, it would give me the correct height and width etc.

I'd say you're pretty well off to double the dimensions seeing as how the 1:200 scale is twice as big as 1:400 scale. It should work out fairly well...at least as a starting point as you said

If you're doing a fantasy terminal of your own design look at some airport pics and guess the size of the building by the number of airliner wingspans.

Mathematically, if you double every dimension of 1/400 i.e. length, width, depth,.. then it will become 1/200.
