Hi
First off, I would like to comment that DAC is a great forum- I have been wondering around the site for a few months, and have had an enjoyable time perusing the threads... Secondly, it is refreshing to see the nice comments directed towards other forum users - be it regarding a new model they have found, or their own model airport! After seeing a model airport many years ago, it has been an aspiration of mine to make my own.. So finally (after a bit of inspriation from other DAC users' creations) I have made a small apron area. It isn't much, but I had fun thinking about and making it. Made quickly and as an experiment, there are a few errors- a mismatch here, a spot of glue there... Also, I am no photographer, so please excuse the quality... It is only large enough for two Boeing 747-sized aircraft, and it has a perimeter fence, a service road, parking stand signs and flags... Models displayed are my collection of InFlight200 and Aviation200 aeroplanes (all South African as you might notice )...Regards HP

WOW.......... you have done a great job with your diorama
![]() With the larger scale of 1:200 aircraft.... looks like you have created a nice space to have a display, whilst at the same time, creating a managable, mobile diorama Cool

Looks really cool! I see you also have a paperbus there. Nice job with the Swissport logos.

Great job on the diorama, and I love the fleet. I am also in the process of building the same fleet, also I find the 1/200 B74s hard and expensive to come by...
Cheers |

Oh, you mean the 747?
Had to try decifer that one for a while... Yes, quite sad- watched it decay sitting there at the airport. Would love to have had a piece of the painted fuselage to hang on the wall.. Oh well HP

Very nice and great job. I want to make something sort of like this. More of a regional airport for ERJ's, Props, DC-9's, etc....
