This guy definitely deserves an award...

This is a fully functional scale airport with planes landing and taking off, lining up to take off, with monitors of arrival times and whatnot...check out the link for more pics:

LOL, isn't it just amazing?  It is all H0 scale (it started as a train layout which grew and grew). I wouldn't call it a diorama - it is more like a huge model train layout, or maybe a better name would be an "exhibit".

It is also not just a guy - it is a team of dozens of people who work on this exhibit full time building and maintaining it.  There is an entire Youtube channel devoted to this exhibit. They even show behind the scenes stuff (how it all works).  it also generates revenue (you have to pay admission).  Official website: http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/ and Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MiWuLaTV
