Ground Control Building

This build is mostly inspired by small jungle airports as they are often depicted in movies. Often constructed in hard to reach places in the mid of the jungle, these airports range from simple clearings in the forest barely enough to land a plane to half-decent constructions with tarmaced landing strips.

The build I choose is somewhere in the middle: no pavement but a small building with advanced technical equipment. In that groundcontrol building you'll find a RADAR and antenna post, with the RADAR being operated by the flight controller inside the Hut. You'll also find a mechanic who can perform basic maintenance on planes and equipment. The building also features a small area to store goods for transport.
Since including a complete jungle in the build wasn't realistic (too high part count, too repetitive), I chose to create that illusion by having nature starting to spread over artificial construction, plants over buildings, the radar post and some old spare parts.

Airplane

For the plane itself the goal was to keep it rather small: on the one hand because this makes the model more challenging, on the other because it can fit better with other models of planes which are 6 studs wide.
For that 4 stud wide plane the classic models 6375 and 6356 served as inspiration. I wanted to make the model more realistic and detailed, though. For example, the wings are properly modelled instead of simple flat wedge plates and a combined cargo/passenger plane with wings mounted on top and propeller eingine was chosen.
While the look aims to be detailed and realistic, I did not want to cut back on functionality. Therefor multiple parts of the plane can be removed to have easy access to the passenger compartment and the rear cargo compartment can be opened to put cargo boxes inside.

In case of this build the passenger is a explorer who also takes a special cargo box with him that contains the essential tools for his journey into the jungle.
