Sharing my scale 1/200 airport

vlee74 · 03-17-2007, 11:34 PM

Most of my model are build by myself (such as Hasegawa, revell, doyusha, trumpeter & etc). Usually i don;t post here and quite active in "airlinercafe website". I do collect diecast particularly Hogan & 1/400 scale airplane

Its a joy seeing so much airport here...well wish to share part of work. My nick in airliner cafe is Asean. Here is the link to my gallery

that is some sweet stuff!
i assume your luggage pieces, belt loaders, and stairs are all custom built?

im impressed by your stuff!

i wish they had firetrucks like that in N scale or 1:200!

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 01:08 AM

Thanks for the compliment. The airport are custom built using evergreen plastic complete with interior lighting using LED. It took me one month to build the terminal. The upper storey of my terminal had a restaurant with a minimart...but i didnt take any picture of them. Thinking of lighting them up in night them a took some picture of the first class diner.

Most figures u see in my 1/200 airport are from preiser with some combination of herpa 1/200 figures. The GSE are from herpa & PPC holland.

The cargo terminal also took one month to complete. The trucks are N scale herpa and the fork lift and figures are N scale train accessories.

Coming soon scale 1/400 airport yeap u will see a decorative interior of the terminal even at this scale

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 01:20 AM

Ok folks here is some Appetizer....some preview photo of my scale 1/400 terminal (layout size 43cm X 34cm) ...more coming soon when my new diecast 1/400 plane arrive

Oh yes kaitanium i manage to find some cheap crash firetruck (scale 1/144) from tomika (or tomicar can;t remember). The n scale fire truck are from wiking (not cheap in singapore here the price for one n scale wiking fire truck cost equal 3 tomika fire truck)

B-16707 · 03-18-2007, 01:24 AM

wait...which firetrucks are n scale?

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 01:29 AM

Here is some photo showing the interior section of my 1/200 terminal...enjoy

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 01:41 AM

kaitanium the first photo is a tomica 1/160 fire truck the second photo is a wiking n scale fire truck. The tomica crash firetruck is used in Japan airport cheap and good u can get some from ebay.

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 01:45 AM

exactly, i thought i only saw 1 firetruck. did i miss something???

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 01:56 AM

Hi jason & kit... Sorry for misleading u two...the way the photo is taken U will not see the second wiking fire truck. What u see in my cargo terminal is only the tomica morita fire truck.

Wiking truck is damn small about 50% smaller...so is completely overwhelm by our bigger tomica truck.... i have posted some photo on my wiking fire truck

ROFLMAO!!! 'some asian dispensing machine in a late night hang out cafe'

!!! i know what u mean. here in LA, we goto NICE CAFE in el monte monterey park area.

how much did u spend? lol. 2 dollars to get 2 models? hehe. u r funny dogg! never thought of it! i am gonna look for some myself when i chill at a cafe too, lol. maybe mall too.

EDIT: u just added $1 each part just now i think, haha. punk! hehe.

fly Frontier · 03-18-2007, 02:05 AM

there are 1/220 fire trucks (z scale) out there some where. i say some at my local train shop do around $40- $50

vlee74 · 03-18-2007, 02:10 AM

Here in singapore the tomica cost 3 Singapore dollar each

In comparison the wiking fire truck cost around 10 Singapore dollar each.

Another choice for some cool n scale truck, van and firetruck is GHQ (a wargame supplier in united state). Well the forklift u see in my cargo terminal is from GHQ..quite expensive when convert to singapore dollar

hehe, i got them cones from the bay. Woman(?) from England. I asked if she had more, so i can by multiples; she said no... =( ship wasn't bad at all, kuz it was light and small, hehe. i go crazy for these cones! "SLOW FOR THE CONE ZONE!!!" I think Conan O'Brien uses this phrase too, as well as DMV people, lol!

yeah, those 1 dollar machine; with the 'good' stored in a circular plastic ball? hehe. u crack me up homie! haha

B-16707 · 03-18-2007, 02:32 AM

yea those cones look pretty good. darn it i might have to make them myself.

yea they come in plastic capsules that look like eggs. hehe

i was gonna make the cones myself too, UNTIL i saw andyD's airport i think? i think it was him. he told me that he bought those cones, so i started lookin hard then.

remember when i had LEGO circular light 'bulb' in place of these cones back some months ago? yes, that infamous shot of bathroom reservoir... errrrrrr...

i didn't think paper would work well, especially taking photo outside, since paper cones will blow away easily; heck, my herpa GSE fly away too, along with paper airport bus!!!

Thankfully, these cones have 'anchor' so they won't fly away. u just shove it down to the ground, and they don't fly away.

plastic capsule, hehe. pokemon stylin', errrrr.

btw, LWT, congrats on 777 POST COUNT!!! i saw it the other day!!! haha, coolness man!

B-16707 · 03-18-2007, 02:53 AM

ill try my luck at making them considering im pretty much making everything i need at my airport. =P

yea i remember your bathroom shot haha

haha thanks man on the 777. was sweet

jensen · 03-26-2007, 04:58 AM
