Archive for the ‘Model Airports’ Category

Yesterday I launched my latest website, Model Airports and Airplanes. On this website I offer the same airport designs that I offer on Airport Diorama Designs, but the difference is that these designs are printed in one piece of high quality vinyl (see picture below) – the same type used for outdoor banners. No more downloading, printing, cutting and assembling.

Happy New Year to everyone,

After several requests from customers, I have added a new offering to the 1:400 product line, a Custom Airport Diorama.

Instead of the pre-formatted 4 by 8 airport, this is a collection of tiles to create your own custom airport, any size or configuration  you want. There are tiles for airplane pads, buildings, grassy areas, lines, runways (make them any size you want), taxiways, etc.

What you would do is print all the pieces you need, and arrange them in any way you want to create your own custom airport.

It has been a while since my last post, but I have been busy with the new website.  I have just added some new designs, including new backgrounds.  The backgrounds give the airports great realism.

The two new model airport designs are based on the Gemini terminal building.  The first one has the building alone with a cargo complex, and fuel depot.  The second design has a complementary Main Terminal which completes the airport.  You can check them out at Model Airport Building Terminal – Gemini.

Here are some pics of the first design:

Hello everyone,

I have just launched today a website where you can find all my latest designs for airports, terminals and backgrounds for both 1:400 and 1:500 scales.  Go check it out at:

There you can find the designs you see on this blog, and much more.  Have a great day!

Airport #1

About five years ago, I started my collection of die-cast airplanes. I started collecting the Schabak 1:600s. I liked the small scale, but the quality was horrible. I became a regular customer at the Smithsonian store in the BWI (Baltimore-Washington International) Airport, where I picked through the boxes for the best quality planes.

Once I had enough planes, I decided to build an airport to display them. Fortunately, I had a big basement that afforded me the space.
