MY ORIGINAL AIRPORT DIORAMA DISPLAY (1:400 Scale)

aradrom · 04-06-2007, 11:22 PM

All,
Today I've discovered this forum and did not hesitate to register. It is great to be here and I know that I'm going to enjoy my stay...
I would like to share this beautiful airport diorama layout with you guys...

Back in 2004 i built this magnificent diorama dsplay in 1:400 scale.

This AIRPORT DIORAMA DISPLAY was designed and built by myself (except for the building) in a magnificent 1:400 scale.
The building, aircraft passage gateways & light poles are from HERPA airport building kits.
The aircraft and ground support vehicles models are the famous DRAGON WINGS 1:400 scale models. The actual size of this diorama was 42" x 30".
As always attention to detail is exceptional. Weathered tarmac, tire marks on the runway, oil stains, natural looking grass and taxi lines are just a few examples of level of details I put into..
At first I had only North American Airlines model planes and I ended up chaning them into European Airlines liveries.
I had a lot of fun building it and it took me approx. 4 months to complete.
A great inspirational website was www.airliners.net
I ended up selling this display (incl all planes and vehicles) on Ebay in fall of 2004 at a very big price, but now I kind of regret...
Anyways... I'm planning to build a another one in the near future but it is not going to be in this small scale..I'm thinking...1:200 scale....
Enjoy the pictures...

Nice diorama but too bad you've sold it. Good to see the Swissair A332! Be sure to post pics when you plan to build another one in 1:200.
