Luft Hansa and Furniture and Walls

As part of my Battle of Berlin and Luft Hansa project, I had to build a ramp to get the passengers on and off the airplanes. I scratch built this ramp using some fencing, sheet styrene, and some resin cast jeep wheels. I like to develop a theme and carry it forward. My Luft Hansa has figures, security guards, luggage carts, waiting rooms, offices, mechanics, aircraft, all the things a small terminal might have to service the customers and planes.

I made a guitar out of resin and placed it on the luggage wagon. If you go on line you can find places that have photos of propaganda posters. Then you can downsize them, print them out and glue them to your walls. They are glued with regular white glue. Just a tiny drop and then paint it on like paint.

The luggage is a collection of Preiser luggage, Roco packs and bags, and various other boxes, crates and containers.

The figures are a mixture of Preiser and others. I gave a couple of the security guards MP40 SMGs. The radios are standard WWII era German radios. The interior doors are the same material as the floor. Sheet styrene with a wooden board pattern, just a closer pattern, and painted a darker color.

The compressor and some of the other tools are from Roco. The prop is from the spares box. The poster is common for WWII from both the US and German, it shows scientist and laborer working together fighting the industrial front while the soldier fights in the field. This room interior will go into one of my hangers. Building interiors are easy and very cheap to build. Sheet styrene does not cost much and the other bits were mostly from the spares box. The luggage and luggage carts were from Airfix and Prieser and others. Model train shops are great places to go to find models of tools and luggage and industrial commercial items. The main thing is don't throw stuff away, you will almost certainly use those left over model parts for something eventually.
