With your previous post I was a bit surprised, but the clear orange it looks nice!

Cheers,
Frank

Those wood tones look exciting Terri. I am struggling at the moment trying to get the old pine look of British aircraft - your shade is too red for that but I do like your technique which could readily be adapted for other shades.

Thanks guys for tagging along on this adventure . Wasn't up to really sitting in front of the bench but I did manage to get a bit more progress . The cockpit is finished with the painting and waiting for weathering and all the good stuff that follows with it . I had no idea what the parts should be painted . Instructions don't have any call out colours . After spending some time online that ended up with no results after viewing other builds , Colours seem to be all over the map and just wasn't a reliable source too go by so I winged it and came up with this ....

Haven't spent much time in front of the bench this past week . Been out on my mountain bike and enjoying every minute of it !
I did make some progress this evening . A wash was applied using a mix of future and tamiya black paint to all the parts . Cockpit is assembled for the most part . Waiting for the seat belts to dry , just finished painting them . No belts are included in the kit . I had to dig into the spare box . Engine is mounted in place and as you can see not much of it will been seen . Once the exhaust is in place and the rad , even more will be covered up .

I just dropped in here (Must say this is the true wooden wonder, not the Albatros...) and really like what I see. You keep going the Austro-Hungarian way which is great. I a sure that Lloyd will look as great as your fantastuc Starstrutter!

You are doing a marvelous job with this kit Terri.  The Lloyd C.Valley is one of my favorite 2-seaters and I am enjoying your lovely build.  Well done.

Best,

Bob
