Just been reading up on ILS on Wikipedia and have absorbed enough to learn that you must be modelling the glideslope antenna found at the end of the runway facing approaching aircraft. Your mast looks very much like those illustrated. I must declare a personal interest: the guy that taught me project management many years ago was responsible for delivering the ILS systems in the major UK airports (which always seemed SO much more impressive than the poxy IT systems projects the class were battling with). I'm sure he would have been chuffed that anyone might want to model an element of such a ubiquitous system.
It seems important to me that there are people in life who seem to love and excel at making things. Please don't ever stop, Oliver; your models are truly epic.
Thanks. This is all new to me making things like that. It appears that I am getting deeper and deeper in diorama world. Thanks for the kind words and sharing your story on your ILS journey.

I am making a small ILS tower to go next to the building since most photos I have seen have them. I am waiting for extra grass stuff from Italy since i ran out, I have also ordered yellow flowers from Hobbyist Heaven and custom Decals for the gate from Dave Decals, I am building the tower in 4 sections to make the painting easier since it would have been impossible to get a clean line between the red and the white because of the braces up and down the post. Will post when I am further in the diorama.

Not much to look at yet but ground in progress. Much to learn about ground work that's for sure.

Your ground certainly seems a darker colour than your reference photos but doesn't look unnatural to my eye. I suppose it depends to some extent on how hot/dry you envisage your setting. Perhaps the issue is that the ground looks so dry that any grass would be very parched/yellowed. I suspect you'll go lighter and the scene will look magnificent.
Incidentally, do you still progress the main helicopter alongside this ground work or do you tend to keep it one thing at once?
Still working on the ground,I agree a bit too dark. I plan to lighten my grass work as well. Helicopter on hold till ground work is all done, it would be too much back and forth with all the stuff i need between the helicopter and ground work.

Started on the ground stuff but something doesn't flow right.
maybe ground too dark. I may need to add a thin layer of brown grass first.the fence has Barbwire on top but I will pass on adding that. Amazing to see the height difference between the fence and the gate.

Just as a matter of interest, what's in the (real world) little building that needs such a big vent? Generator?

A bit of shadowing on the the building I don't think I will push it any further than this. Next will do wash and install antennas and red light on top.
