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!
Feel free to use this video as a tutorial to build a similar model airport of your own, but of course, this particular model was quite unique. If you’re looking for a more simple and detailed tutorial, I’d recommend cheking out my model airport construction video from last year right here: • 1 Month Timelapse | Bu...
