How to build a Realistic Budget airport in under a day!

quickly before I start this video I just wanted to mention that there is a forum in the top line of the description I would really like you to fill us out is to do with my college project nothing to do with YouTube but it just really helped me out if you could quickly just take two minutes out of your time and just fill that out quickly but now we'll get on with the video [Music] hello everyone and welcome back to another video in today's video as you saw by the title I will be showing you how to build a cheap and quick airport that you can build in under a day if you want to see how to build a more advanced and more expensive Airport I've made a tutorial for that as well it will be linked at the end of this video but a lot of people complaining about how much everything costs of today's video we're going to be focusing on really cheap low budget airports and this can be made really quickly getting straight into it now the first thing you will need for today's video is a foam board now foam board is one of the best materials you can make a temporary airport out of as it slides cheap and very easy to store in like a cupboard or even against the wall this can be found at high-end hardware stores like being goofy British people or Home Depot for your Americans if you live anywhere else in the world just go to your local hardware store and it should be there it can also be found in hobby shops like hobby craft for the British and Michael's for you Americans now for this project I was unable to find any foam boards so in the end I bought a really thin piece of wood this does also work but be careful if you are going to use a thin piece of wood as it bends really easily so I recommend a foam board over a thin piece of wood but if it comes to it it won't matter if you do get a thin piece of wood instead I also quickly spray-painted the wood white as white is the colour of the foam board so from now on I'm just gonna pretend this is a giant piece of foam board so pretend I never mentioned that this was a piece of wood from now on this is a piece of foam board there are two ways of doing this there is what I like to call the super budget Airport and the budget Airport for the super budget Airport all you will need is the foam board a pencil a ruler a razor and sharpies however for the budget Airport you can get a little more advanced with some grey spray paint and also some paint pens links for these will be in the description for the purpose of showing how both airports are mazed I will now theoretically cut my foam board in half I will dedicate each half to each of the variations of how I built this budget airport if you are building the budget airports now be the time to spray-paint your board gray it's always good to spray paint in a very open or ventilated area luckily for me behind my house lies a ginormous field but after this it's time sketch your pencils out the next step is required for both airports and now this is time for you to plan out where your terminal is going to go you can draw it in some sharpie and then you're going to want to lay all of your planes around the terminal as if they were going to be there when it's actually finished once this is done you can lift them up one by one and Mark down in pencil where the center line of your gate will go my Airport today is based off of Buffalo Airport in New York State it's a little smaller than the real-life Buffalo Airport but it's around the same kind of size after you've done this it's now time to draw your center line with whatever equipment you require for the super budget Airport or you can either just use a black sharpie like I have done or you can step your game up a little bit and use a yellow one for the more advanced side of the airport you should use a yellow paint pen after you've gone round and done this but every single gate it's then time to draw the gate outlines I will have templates at the end of this video but gate markings are pretty easy to figure out the best way is to go onto Google Earth and see what size and shape the gates are at the airport you are trying to recreate just go around take your time make sure you don't mess up drawing pencil first and then go over in either red paint pen or sharpie or even red sharpie or black sharpie I've gone with black sharpie but if you want to get a little bit more advanced you can of course go with the red sharpie after that you can drill smaller details like taxiway lines and hold shore lines but if you wanted to take this to another level try adding graphs to your layout by either using a roll of modeling grass or gluing down loose grass like you see me doing now but that is it I hope this video was very helpful and I wish you luck if this is what you're going to try and do if you're going to try and build one of these for yourself if you have any further questions please feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll do my best try and get back to them I do wish you luck I will leave the gate templates at the end now there are a few variations for different types of aircraft just pick the one that fits your Airport and yeah go with that but yeah I want to thank you very much for watching this video and I was a bit short but I hope this is enough to get you started I want to remind you again with the there is a more advanced tutorial that'll be linked at the end of the video and in the description I do want to also remind you again that I'm the survey in the top line of the description please go fill that out if you have the time it will be very helpful I'm just trying to get up to about 150 responses and so I thought you know YouTube is kind of the best place to kind of advertise that so please I encourage you to go fill that out and be yeah that is it for this video I hope you did enjoy and I will see you in the next video bye
