Tips for building a new airport

SQ_744 · 12-14-2005, 01:25 AM

Hi..All these while the only thing I have been doing is to collect plane models and display them in my showcase. I have collected about 16 planes of which are 1:500(Herpa), the scale I prefer. I have seen many model airports which are very beautiful and now I have the urge to make my own too. Could I have tips on what airport accessories I should buy the cost and where I could buy them? I only have a very small space for my airport..

Thanks,
SQ_744

Arigami is all right I guess. Arigami is a bit out of scale, they are like at 1:300, so you'll have to resize them, if you don't, its just going to look very odd.

Now that I think of it, you can get something like a board, pen, pencil and ruler, as well as some rounded edges and draw out the whole tarmac/runways/taxiways. You can use paintmarkers for taxiway lines, it works really great, and its better than buying some real expensive foil.

To all you looking for tips and hints.....Look at the other 74,000 threads on the subject. Just look back, every single page on the model airports section has at least two threads asking the same question, some have good hints in them. Just rest assured, your not the first one to ask for hints and tips.

..and last not least: You are looking for quality & fun in designing your very own airport? Go PiXelport! According to our customers, which give us top ratings since years, we offer the best foils on the market. And even better, some of our products are on sale until December 31. See our website. But hurry, all Airport sets are already sold out.
