Tips for creating a model airport?

[JDE1303]

I’m thinking of starting a model airport, what tips would you give me? It will probably be made in 1:400 but possibly 1:500 due to space restrictions!

Lol don’t ask me

But I did find this

Starting a Scale Model Airport! Some tips?

I suggest using 1:400 scale models, as it means you can make your airport a lot larger, whilst 1:200 are just too large. If you do use 1:400, you can get printable desgins here: http://airport-diorama-designs.com/ I also know a page where you can print out mats, but I have forgotten where it is. I used it for mine. :D

First, draw the map of the airport on a piece of paper
Then move those drawings on the platform that you are going to build on
Then put the pieces in starting from the runway then the taxiways and then the parkings and buildings and las but not least, the access roads

I bought a premade mat and terminal.

By a case for they “unused” aircraft. Every month or so replace the ones in the cabinet. This tip is probably best for people with lots of aircraft…like me.
