Hello!
Aircraft prototypes interest me a lot!
Some models from my collection ;D

Very cool subject. I love Prototypes. I will watch carefully and learn.

I too am becoming more interested in prototypes and limited run aircraft. You have a super collection and the Germania (a type new to me) is no exception. I will follow with interest too.
Stephen.

Beautiful collection of scratch builds, will be following this with interest. Your Germania wings look amazingly neat!
-
Terrific collection and your start on this one is Awesome! Your wing rib results in particular look Fantastic!
RAGIII

Very nice collection and this one will add to it even more :) Off to an excellent start so far so I will have to follow your progress .

Hello friends!
Thank you very much for your nice comments
Hope you can understand well with the pictures.
I use double-sided tape

Looks like the Woodman method, only with a styrene core instead of wood. Nice!
-
Thanks for the detailed photos of your processes!
RAGIII
-
Many thanks for posting your wing making technique, that is very helpful to me.
Richie
-
As Ken has written that looks like the Woodman method but with styrene core: simple but effective. The photographs are very clear and self explanatory.
Stephen.

Thanks Arnaud, a great post; I really like this technique.
Cheers,
Dave.

Great subject en good progress Arnaud!
What is the brand of the tape you use, and how thick is it?
Willem

Thank you very much for the detailed description, very helpful!

will be a great addition to your collection !

Hi all,
Thank you very much for your kind messages :)
The suite, with the wings and the full cockpit (speculative, except the steering wheel, which can be seen in a photo of the plane).

Everything is made with Evergreen , some PE, and scrap plastic.
Once all the pieces were glued, I slid the assembly into the fuselage.
More soon
A bientôt

I missed the initial thread, beautiful prototype models. Very interesting technique for wings building and inner details.
Ciao
Giuseppe

Great looking interior and another interesting technique for the assembly!
RAGIII

That is a superbly detailed interior.
Stephen.
-
Really amazing work, Arnaud. Your technique with the wings was something,
but the cockpit work is terrific. Well done!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Great work Arnaud.
Thanks for the tutorial on the wings.
Alan

That interior is stunning, amazing scratchbuilding and wood simulation skills. Beautiful!
Richie

Fascinating progress!
-
Superb cockpit!
I can't believe it is not from a kit actually ............

Hi friends
The Germania has progressed well, as you can see.
The fuselage has been improved in terms of shapes.

(https://i.servimg.com/u/f41/15/91/10/06/20220111.jpg)
All final fuselage details have been added, including some rivets.

Outstanding work on this unusual bird! The fuselage really looks terrific, especially with details and a little paint applied. I am really impressed by the wings and tail surfaces.
RAGIII

More first class scratch building of a really interesting but little known type.
Stephen.

Thank you very much Stephen and RAGIII! :)

Hello,
Stencil painting made with masking strips.
It's not perfect...

Those rib shadows look good enough to me - remember they are representing shadows so the outlines should be a little uneven. In any event the scratch build is excellent and of an unusual type - that alone is sufficient to catch my eye.
Stephen.

Hello Stephen,
The previous photo is confusing. The wings are not glued, there is still work to detail the fuselage.

Your build is really moving along now. The ribs and markings showing through the linen look terrific! Lovely little aircraft.
RAGIII

It kinda grows on you after a while , excellent work so far !
Alexis

Hello everyone,
After a very long break, the Germania JM is back!
It has been stripped since last time.
At present, the wings have been fixed and rigged.
(https://i.servimg.com/u/f41/15/91/10/06/20230629.jpg)
There were still quite a few parts to build and fix.
See you soon
Arnaud :)
-
Oh that’s just cool! Looking great.
-
Brilliant, your wings are beautiful, seriously impressive work!
Richie
-
It's nice to see you back Arnaud, and though this is not 'my' scale this is a very interesting subject and I will follow with interest.
Great work so far!
-
Great to see you back on this one. Your little Bird is looking Fantastic!
RAGIII
-
I agree with the others: good to see this one being completed. A very high standard of scratch building here - just love it!
Stephen.
-
So good to see you working on the Germania again.
This is absolutely brilliant!
Willem

Beautiful, Arnaud!
I'm slowly catching up with many of the more interesting older threads here on the Forum, and this one is one I'd missed until today. By some weird coincidence (or synchronicity, as Jung would call it!) my oldest son and I went to a hobby shop in Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday, where he fell in love with the old Meikraft kit of the Lloyd 40.15 and bought it. Neither of us had ever even heard of such an aircraft... he hasn't done any modeling since he was around 12 or 13 (he's 37 now!) but his stash of WWI kits is larger than mine, and he plans on starting again "someday..."
Is yours from the Meikraft kit? It's a fascinating aeroplane, in either case!
Dave V.
-
Very nice scratchbuilt!
How did you make the side radiators?
Joe
-
Hi Joe,
Thank you so much!
For the radiators, I started with a plastic coffee filter with very fine mesh:
(https://i41.servimg.com/u/f41/15/91/10/06/20220125.jpg)
Cutting strips in the direction of the mesh and gluing them to a rectangular Evergreen rod, we're getting close to the desired effect. With an aluminum + juice trial:

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your kind words!
No, the Lloyd 40.15 is a full scratch. It is not commercially available in 1/48 scale. I decided to make a rectangular fuselage. I think Meincraft represents it as triangular.
I had made a topic on the forum, but all the photos have disappeared.
I found a few photos on my computer. Sorry for the quality:

In the company of its successor, the Lloyd 40.16, also scratchbuilt:

The Loyd 40.6 was a really ugly plane! ;D
-
An ugly plane but Beautiful Model! I like your radiator method also@!
RAGIII
-
Super pair of scratch builds - and a really interesting project for God's Own Scale modelling....when some of my other projects are completed!
The radiator idea is first class.
Stephen.

Gems!

As Rick said, a beautiful model of an ugly plane. The wood effect is really stunning.
Richie

I'll echo all the above compliments !

Very well done Arnaud.
Alan.

Thank you very much! ;D
I love Lloyd airplanes. They were very bold for the period.
I have several prototype projects in mind but I have to finish other projects before that!
These are my first full-length scratches, which are a little dated today in terms of finishing details.
I'd like to finish this Germania JM hahaha
Arnaud
-
This is looking so good! Very clever way of making the radiators.
I might steal that idea...
