Nice work! How did you create the people?

👍🏽👍🏽

Ah, yeah def 1:400! Are you considering painting any of them in the Marine One scheme?

Looks great! How will you handle the rotars?

Sorry for the late response. Would also be cool to see VH-92 (Marine One) -- haven't really seen any high quality 1:400 models. Another that I think would fill a market gap is High Hefner's Bunny plane (see 1:200 here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Playboy-DC-9-30-N950PB-1-200-Big-Bunny/386034846)

Yup that’s the one! Am working on a diorama with a little presidential section

Would love to see the Osprey in Marine green!

Thanks, I will take your advice on the thickness. I think I will go with either 1/2 or 3/4. Have you used a particular set of legs and attachments?

I absolutely love IAD! Best part of your model will be the little mobile lounges: https://www.ebay.com/itm/226323903112?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6YOatzqzQh2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=qPDhyN88Qim&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I didn't consider the plywood-on-top model -- how difficult is it to get large pieces of plywood? I'd ideally just want two of them (each of them 4' x 8').

No problem. Are you trying to model a specific airport or will this one be your own creation?

Thanks for the thoughts. I just found this product -- am thinking that buying four sets (16 total tables) would be perfect -- approx. 15' x 7.5'. Your plywood suggestion has me thinking about the pro/con on going that route plus some table legs vs. just getting the items below...

Your website mentions die cast model repairs but doesn't have any info about it. Can you share more? https://5townsmodelsandcollectibles.com/diecast-model-repair/

Hi all, I am building a large LAX 1:400 model (it will likely end up being around 15' x 8') and am looking for recommendations for a table to use (or important considerations in selecting one). Ideally it would be something relatively light (maybe modular tables?), but I could use advice on...

Would love to know the details on your 3D printing (e.g., what kind of printer, process, etc.)
