Hi! 
I've created this thread to show the construction of my current diorama. There will be another thread (soon!!!) showing the pics of it fully finished and the whole activity.
Basically, my diorama is a fictional airport located in Northeast Brazil. Timeline goes from year 1982 up to 1998. Most of these pics are quick phone snapshots so please excuse the kinda poor quality. Stay tuned for the definitive thread of it, this one is just for the construction phase
By the way, my airport will also be featured in a dedicated Instagram page, still under development aswell.
Anyway, let's begin!
------------------------------
This is the terminal building. It's the first thing i've done before starting work on the diorama table.
The terminal is entirely made of MDF wood blocks which can be found in hardware/handicraft stores here in my city.
After painting, details were added using stickers, wood sticks and even some small Lego pieces. This is the fun part of building some dioramas! We have to be creative with our resources sometimes.
Painting process finished.
Stickers applied. All designed by me
------------------------------
I've bought two MDF boards to create the diorama. I've decided to use two boards because it would be easier to store the diorama in my room.
Here, i'm testing some parking positions.
------------------------------
Time to paint the boards! Here's yours truly in the works. Sorry about the no shirt, but it was a hot day
------------------------------
Drawing the lines and painting the runway and ramp area.
------------------------------
Ground markings, taxiway and runway details being added.
