Title: Lloyd 40.15 1/48 (scratch build)
Post by: Naimbs on May 23, 2015, 08:41:13 PM
Hello!

Here is my interpretation for this Austro-Hungarian prototype, the Lloyd 40.15!

That collection of models at the end is an excellent measure of your modelling skill. The standard of those models is such that anyone would be proud of them. Never mind your English - the models are just wonderful.

Splendid collection, Naimbs. And the last addition to it is a true masterpiece. I have already commented in the WIP thread, but I will repeat it here - your rendition of natural wood, linen and metal is top notch! Congratulations!

Extraordinary work on all four, Arnaud!  I have a soft spot in my heart for Austro-Hungarian experimentals myself.  I'm especially fond of those Lloyds.  Love those ply wings.
Cheers,
Bud

I simply love these Austro- Hungarian uglies. Your model is fantastic. I do envy you the superb scratchbuilding skills! The woodgrain is great and the details are sharp. Gee I wish I had one on my shelf! Congrats!!
