1:500 Regional Airport Apron Diorama project!
 

Hello all,
I have not been on this forum for a while because I have been designing using computer software a hand-drawn foil for a upcoming project this Easter Holiday. It will have 6 stands and 1 taxiway, at the moment it is roughly about 40 by 40 cm size so it's a diorama piece. I may expand but not yet. Comments greatly appreciated, good or bad but beware this is my first go at making a foil!:D

Really exciting time now in the airport's timeline: today the foils will be printed!
I will be printing them on either slightly glossy photo paper or normal matt paper. I think the matt will be a better choice, and my entire accessories set from a starter set will fill the airport with action! Pictures will come later as it hasn't been printed yet, but watch this short space.

Good news! The airport has been printed, I went for glossy photo paper as it looks more professional but makes the planes squeak when they move! the grass has been stuck, GSE places and trees to make it more realistic. Don't know if I will expand because I like it being this small but I might... anyway Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think, good or bad!

Nice little display... Models look much better on display base.

You are right. the models look more realistic rather than sitting on shelves... I think now I will add some of the tiny people I have... lets hope they haven't all gone into the carpet...
