LOHNER L - 1:72 // Scratch

[Kamil Zoszak]

Hello friends, I'd like to introduce you to my latest project. I'm currently building a LOHNER L model airplane. I'm building it based on a paper model from Orlik and plans from Windsock. I invite you to watch and comment.




























I'm waiting for my inspiration to come back and I'll start modeling again
Cheers

Keeping fingers crossed for the return of your inspiration. It will be a striking model.

I often find inspiration in some of the very nice card model designs, Great War era aeroplanes and armoured cars in particular. They provide a good starting point for scratch building in other mediums. They help provide a good starting point for visualizing the subject and provide the opportunity to experiment with card and paper.

It will return soon and you will dive in new found vigor. Inspiration and creativity can not be rushed.

I quite like the Lohner and other similar flying boat and seaplane designs of the early 1900's and Great War eras. There are plenty to choose from and all similar in concept but differing in their details. Sitting in what is little more than boat with a great huge and load engine just behind and above must have made for a very interesting flying adventure.

This is very interesting to see you combine card models with scratchbuilding. It makes a lot of sense. I too hope your inspiration returns soon so that we see more of this project.

This is already looking great Kamil! I will follow with interest.

That is an excellent start to this project. I too have this on my list of types that I want to scratch build in future. Those early flying boats offer the modeller some interesting challenges so if your inspiration is lacking at the moment, just wait for it to return because a model like this just cannot be rushed. When finished however it will be a little gem.
