Very nice, love the Fiji A350, it's a lovely model and it suits the tropical theme well.

Fantastic! It really is, I know what that means from my own design projects. It can drive you crazy at times but it makes so much difference to the end result

Absolutely! I abhor the generic airports currently out there. Much prefer the design and modeling process. Given the quality of today's moulds the airport displays should warrant the same consideration. I have adapted my airport diorama on suspended shelves, which provides a great vantage point that places your eyes close to the models. Rather than the standard airport displays we see on tables or wooden planks. Obviously space was an issue and this was my solution. The idea was to display the models in various scenes at an actual airport, runway, taxiway and stands at angles flattering to each aircraft. So none of my gates are the same, and the shelves present design challenges to the layout, which as you note - is also the fun part. Abraços, S

Are beach airports the best, I would say beach and mountain airports.

Not really a beach, but yeah...

That's fantastic - and completely agree, which is why I'm busy designing my own authentic models for a retro LHR layout. The whole process of conceiving, designing and building takes time but it's so worth it for the end result. I love the creativity of it! You've come up with some great modelling solutions to meet your needs, and they do look very effective
