Possible Airbases

[bentley61]

Create your own unique airfield in any scale,any size.
Give it a name and post the pics.

I like this idea! How could i do one.......

1 peice of flat large wood, Grey paint, Green paint/grass paint, knife

Scribe taxiways using knife, and paint taxiways and grass!

[bentley61]

yeah thats the idea
maybe add a building/cars or figures and your done

Sounds like a great idea! I'll have to give it a try. B)

Your just plain evil Matrix!

I want my airstrip to be hidden away in a dormant volcano! Of course VTOLs will be a must!   Oh and I will most likely have an underwater entrance for my sumbersible carrier and attack subs   (sure, I watch too many bond movies...but If I win the lottery boy oh boy!)

If you won the lottery....

You werent allowed to buy a F-14 (same goes for F-16 and F-15 and F-18)

You wouldnt have enough money to even buy a 737

You could buy a Cessna C172 with spats

Great minds think alike! I bought a Hobbycraft X-1 some days ago, and I really want to make a "Right Stuff" diorama with it. I think about the scene when Yeager has a glance at the X-1 for the first time. He's ridding a horse in the desert, then come across the aircraft during a test engine...

Alas, if Matrixone is in, we are all beaten even  before the competition start!

Recall that there are airbases that move over the waves.

I call mine "The Chickenport" and I built it over the years specifically for shooting pictures of my 1/400 diecast jetliner collection. Some pics over the last few years:

Wow is that a cool Chickenport Mr Chicken! It's a real treat to see all those by-gone airliner liveries there too! The baggage handlers look a bit overworked though.

can i ask how you got these brilliant results because every time i have attempted a similar project for my 1/500 airliners it never works and ends up ina box somewere

Sentinel Chicken - Love the old silver Western scheme, I was sorry to see it go. Rode a 737-300 in that back in '85 or so, also one of the DC-10s in the white scheme SLC-ANC. Best landing I ever had the pleasure to witness as a passenger, barely knew it had happened. But I digress...

The project reminds me of "what if" type drawings I'd do on graph paper in high school (geek doodling). I'd make neat bases with seaports, hidden airbases in a mountain Swiss-style, etc. For good measure I often had the overlay of HUD symbology over them, leading my favorite target into the CCIP pipper. KABOOM! :ar:

I'm looking forward to whatever the group comes up with.

That ''Chickenport'' diorama forced me to do a double take!
Truely excellent work.

Awesome!     Chickenport rocks!

Here's the screen capture (alas, a bit crude) from "The Right Stuff" that I want to turn  into plastic...
