not quite sure if this is what you mean but Iv made a A300 and a A320 models, they are about 20-30cms long can't remember what scale.. quite good fun putting them together and painting etc..

[Zöltuger]

Emirates A380 (just a little one)
Emirates B777-300
Emirates A340-500
(these two are bigger, they're about 30cm long)
N.B. My dad doesn't work for Emirates, they just like to give models away

I'm currently making a basic airport for my models I'll upload some pics in a sec

[Kelburn]

I have made five air bridges so far and am going to make one more. I don't know what to do with the apron. I may just leave it at it's present state all it needs is a bit of touching up with a pencil



I have made stairs which can go low for an a320 or high for an A330 or 777




go here to see my air bridge: http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/mod ... tways.html

Here's some detail on the taxiway:



The following pics show my aircraft in the gates. The middle one was taken before I put in the other air bridges.





Thanks for looking

thats really neat kelburn.

I once saw a article in a magazine about someones model airport, it looked awsome with runway lights and hundreds of custom built aircraft, if you have the space and the time you should try for soemthign like that ae. Could end up with somethign incredibly detailed

So are you modeling that on any airport in particluler or just making up a fictional one?

[Kelburn]

Currently I'm only making a fictional but you never know.
It is loosley based on the front part of NZWN with the sloping part an all.

To be honest, I got all mine in Oz. I currently can't leave it out on the table as the sun is starting to do something to the cardboard but still I'm having fun. It's something I've always wanted. Ever since one of my friends got one when I was about 3 or 4 (or though it was a SHABACK)
