How to Build your very own Homemade 1:400 Scale Model Airport Episode 1! In this first episode to the new "How to" series I will discuss all the materials needed to begin your airport. What board will work as the perfect base, why creating a plan is essential and more.
This has been one of the most request series to date on this channel and I thought why not document my progress while helping anyone that A) wants to build a model airport or B) is already building one but might need some guidance.
If you have any questions feel free to comment them down below as I'd be happy to answer them.

I’m making a model 1/400 airport and this was lots of help

@HirosAviation 7 лет назад

I am currently attempting to make a 1/200 scale airport! This series will be helpful! Will be waiting for Ep. 2!

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Good luck mate! Although this is for 1:400 hopefully it is still somewhat helpful.

@riccyy5330 6 лет назад

Love the video it was so helpful!!! I love this channel sooo much!

@gloucesterplanespotter6408 6 лет назад

Hello DJ,I am build a model airport and want to make homemade terminals and taxiways,could you possibly tell me what I would need for the airport on quite a low budget?

@DjsAviation 6 лет назад

Hey mate! The main items I purchased were balsa wood (quite a cheap and flexible wood) some paint for your terminals and a see through mat sort of thing. This could be anything to be honest. Skybridges is the most expensive part all up to be honest. Taxiways I just used UNI Posca Pens ;)

@guest5606 6 лет назад

Dj's Aviation you can get them from airport diorama .com and print it

Great video and series for those creating their own airports. Very clear and added detail to what you were talking about. Also, I really liked the music at the later part of the video, Alan Walker is my favourite artist these days so it had me grooving lol.. Look forward to Ep. 2 .. Liked!

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Thanks bud, haha the Alan Walker wasn't deliberate :P I grabbed a 20 min NCS compilation from RU-vid.

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

You're most very welcome : ) The planning stages are of course essential to the success of your own airport. Good luck!

@waddledeepower2869 7 лет назад

Thanks mate happy Australia day

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

You're welcome. I don't celebrate it ;)

@waddledeepower2869 7 лет назад

Thats great. your lucky

@guywithamortar9338 5 лет назад

Hi , I’m about to start to build my own airport it will be quite big and I need some layout help because the layout I have found has a cargo section next to the runway. Also , where would you recommend buying the cars, boarding bridges and lights from for relatively low prices. And how do u make gates ?

@sebbers 4 года назад

What paint do you recommend? Just acrylics or perhaps base paint in the tins?

@flyingdentist 7 лет назад

I have so many models but I keep them in a showcase.Maybe someday I'll built a scale model airport too.Needs a lot of work though.

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Showcasing them or doing a model airport are both great ways of showing off your models. I preferred doing an airport just because it's a great hobby on the side and the end result will be superb.

@adamrj7286 3 года назад

uni posca pens get them in office works :)

@xdlm9430 7 лет назад

Hey there great videos im trying to make a model airport could you let me know where you buy the planes from thanks

@andreairvin7956 4 года назад

ok ok ok so, it is “GeminiJets” and “Herpa” and “Phoenix Models” and more. I don’t recommend going to a airport and buying them there. Pricy with low quality. If your Aussie like me, it goes from $40 - $215

@flightworks6874 7 лет назад

Nice I love your airport my own airports progress isn't going so well as well I've taken a year!

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Thanks, mine has been going pretty bad as well :P as i said this is the second time I've had to sand all progress of the board. Praying now we've got all the right materials. Just did my first coat yesterday and it's looking good!

@flightworks6874 7 лет назад

Dj's Aviation yeah I chose to do it the hard way and decided to make my own gse with resin and after trial and error for a year I finally have almost gotten my gse done now I'm back to my terminal work

@DylanLandvatter 7 лет назад

cool video! I'm remaking my airport out of mdf, so that's why there will not be an update in the next couple of weeks. what is your mdf resting on?

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Cheers, MDF is the best choice. My airport sits on a workmen's foldable bench, you can purchase them cheap at possibly your local hardware store. This one can hold up to 150kg :) however, when the board is completed we might fit some external legs to make it just that little more stable.

@DylanLandvatter 7 лет назад

Dj's Aviation thanks! I have some 2x4s laying around for external legs!

@geoprancer Год назад

Is raw MDF board the same as plywood. I’m starting a model airport in the US

@a330neoaviation7 4 года назад

How long will of wood did you use?

@jarrodswanwick3662 7 лет назад

Hey DJ, when will the next airport vlog be out?

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Hey, not sure at this stage, all previous trips to the airport have been to film just one plane. However, I might do a vlog for the Cathay A350 inaugural.

@antsstikbotstudio3137 7 лет назад

where do you get those pens from?😎

@pancake5830 6 лет назад

Is it the same for 1/200?

@DjsAviation 6 лет назад

You just need to adjust it accordingly to the 1:200 aircraft etc. However, making a 1:200 airport is probably not the best idea as they take us literally so much space.

@a350fsx7 5 лет назад

Which size do the Posca Pens are?

@ChaoticThoughts22 4 года назад

@antsstikbotstudio3137 7 лет назад

what thickness are your posca markers?

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

The middle thickness. I believe it could be 1.5

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

To add I believe there's a thin, medium sized and large sized one. Mine is that middle one.

@antsstikbotstudio3137 7 лет назад

Dj's Aviation oh ive bought the 0.7

@antsstikbotstudio3137 7 лет назад

Dj's Aviation your markings look thinner than that

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

Mine are the 0.9-1.3 ones. It really depends on how you also hold the pens. If you hold it a particular way it is likely the lines will appear thicker etc. If you apply less pressure they will come out thinner. Hope this helps.

@dutch.aviation2574 7 лет назад

i've seen that design before.. XD

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

The terminals were taken from your design but the rest not. Unfortunately it was the only logical way to actually make my airport fully functional with a taxiway and runway

@edbrook2018 7 лет назад

how big is you airport

@holasoyalejandro9822 7 лет назад

i'd make one, but i dont have space in my house :/

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

You could use a bookshelf and set up mini gates possinly?

@luluu1922 6 лет назад

I need planes like yours! I also need them to be delivered to me! Help me plz!

@luluu1922 6 лет назад

Plz help me! I'm looking for some that will be delivered before Christmas

@DjsAviation 6 лет назад

I don’t think you’ll be able to get anything before Christmas now as it’s way too late and a lot of shops due to not a lot of demand will probably close

@luluu1922 6 лет назад

Dj's Aviation ohh ok! I wish we could meet in real life and you could help me! How good would that be?

@Quentin-vi4zi 7 лет назад

Yeah i am sad that 1:500 has a so few planes and in 1:400 you have 10000000 of planes

@DjsAviation 7 лет назад

It's all a factor that helps you choose which Scale. Personally I'd recommend 1:400 just because there are many more brands that make them and of course a lot more planes with different moulds around.

@Quentin-vi4zi 7 лет назад

Yeah i already chose 1:500 and already have an airport and i chose it because i think 1:400 is just a little bit to big. And i am gone costum all aircrafts that i want but dont exist

@karpig8939 7 лет назад

Dutch_airport _spotter I collect 1:500 too! I can give you a good shop (DJ can probably guess what I am about to say) but westmaintoys is a good and has so many 1:500

@Quentin-vi4zi 7 лет назад

Jakob YT thx i wil look on the website
