My Model Airport

I started my model airport by buying the 1/400 scale GeminiJets airport terminal, GeminiJets Airport Mat and additional GeminiJets 14 piece ground accessories sets. I originally kept the 3 piece airport terminal and Airport Mat standard. After a while I decided I wanted to customise my model airport. The original plan was to add model grass, but this slowly changed over time and a simple log is shown underneath with progress bars. A new Herpa Tower set is the latest additional, again customised to fit my model airport.

Progress 100% - Add model grass to ground base and cut out grass areas on Airport Mat.
Progress 100% - Customise Jetties.
Progress 100% - Customise 3 piece Terminal buildings with external airline logos, office windows and internal shops, seating inside the terminal buildings.
Progress 100% - Add Taxiway posts and signage to the model grassed areas and airport mat.
Progress 100% - Attach mats to a permanent ground board.
Progress 100% - Add Taxiway, Runway and external terminal lighting.
Progress 100% - Add wear and tear to taxiways, runways and stands.

Progress 60% - Add a Control tower, add lighting, interior details to control tower.

Progress 20% - Customise Ground Vechicles.
Progress 20% - Re-design the 3 piece Terminal buildings roof.
Progress 20% - Complete edges around the Baseboard

My model airport has taxiway and runway lighting, taxiway and runway signage lighting, it has been designed with priority given for display purposes. My model airport lighting is created using 5 or 6 rolls of Herpa optical fibre and 1 Herpa LED box (Continious) and 1 Herpa LED box (Flash and chase). (I will be adding a video to Jas.me.uk to show where i have used the continious lighting and where i have used the flash and chase lighting.)
