Title: Lloyd 40.15 (1/48)
Post by: Naimbs on February 01, 2015, 07:54:07 PM: Hi,

I's my first topic!

I find that this plane is fascinating.

I started building with wings.
I recycled a bottle of wine, a "Côte de provence " ;D!

The nose is not perfect but I'm not disturb..... :-\

The shape is a little wrong...

I'll continue anyway!

A bientôt :)!

Title: Re: Lloyd 40.15 (1/48)
Post by: lone modeller on February 03, 2015, 02:19:57 AM: What a fascinating topic. I really like the idea of using wood for the interior and then staining it. Bending plastic for wings can also be done in a length of plastic pipe and using boiling water.
