Making an Airport From Scratch | Singapore Changi

Last year, I built a model of Chicago’s O’hare Intenational airport. It turned out phenomenal. This year, as my channel was nearing the incredible 100,000 subscriber milestone, I knew I needed to do something special, something even bigger than last year. Why not build another airport? But not just any airport, build the world’s BEST airport, that being Singapore Changi. It all started from a simple idea, made into a physical object. How did I do it? How did I construct this MASSIVE airport from nearly complete scratch items? Watch the video to find out, and make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you haven’t already!

I’ve been watching YouTube videos for 11 years now and this is definitely the best built I’ve ever seen.

[jxsiahyeahyt]

This is clearly the best model airport I’ve ever seen, THE DETAIL IS JUST SO “🙀”. Your the one who literally inspired me to make paper airports and aviation art. Nice job!

[MoonLiteNite]

as an american, who is has lived in singapore for 7 months and LOVESSSS models, this is the best!
I would love to see this in a local store!
I recall see a few around an mo kio / the village that had little models like this!

[SojournerCraftOfficial]

I love how you put the waterfall inside, just like in real life, awesome work!

[AZEOforreal]

With the night shots, and the cinematic panning, this was easily a beautiful model! And 1:400 scale is perfect for this! Honestly would love to pretend fly models and park them at the airport, such a fun looking build!

Singapore Changi Airport is visually stunning. It's amazing to see you build everything from scratch. The whole infrastructure looks immaculate from the ground up.

[AnAverageSingaporean]

As a Singaporean who visits there almost every week, I can say that this is the most accurate I have ever seen

[williambudiac]

This is honestly one of the most incredible Model Airport's I've ever seen in my life. INCREDIBLE!

[CheeshenLee-jfsn]

AS A SINGAPOREAN I AM IMPRESSED !!!! COLEST AIRPORT THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!1!1❤❤❤❤

[mohammedmm]

This is the best I have ever seen (very wonderful, excellent and very beautiful)

[omxga]

If this isnt the wildest 100k sub special then I have no idea what is. I went to Singapore 2 years ago and saw the Jewel for the first time and this is absolutely just as stunning as the real thing.

This looks like a million dollars, hard work pays off, and everything was done from scratch with simple materials, wow outstanding
