What do you guys think is better to build a model airport. Paper foils or a hand painted and hand drawn airport.

I didn't think I could either, but I gave it a shot and some practice and I was happy with the result, even though it was not by any means perfect!I prefer foils because I can't draw. LOL
Hand drawn, hands down...What do you guys think is better to build a model airport. Paper foils or a hand painted and hand drawn airport.

That's definitely good advice. I've found that matte finish photo paper does a much better job if you want it printed.Use thin paint pens and for sure a ruler, run some practice, and you should be good in no time! If done right it tends to look much better than printed paper.
Great job! Did the same with different spray paints and a lot of careful masking and some modeling. After the weathering - the results were gratifying and more realistic than a plastic mat. Fitting for the ultra realistic models that they are for.I can't decide on either. You can get great detail with either. And honestly, both are a lot of work. One being on the computer designing and the other painting. I recently made a little ramp as a first attempt in this. I painted with my airbrush and used digitally cut masks for stripes. I liked the result but I can only imagine a full sized and detailed airport.
Thanks. This was a first attempt though. I'd like to work on some weathering on the whole ramp for the next one.Great job!

The weathering process is where it gets tricky. Depending on the technique you choose and the type of paint used for the base, the process could totally ruin the initial effort. Patience and research are a must. In the end I feel it's the better and more gratifying option and takes away a little of the urge to keep buying models. These lovely birds need a lovely nest too.Thanks.
