A beta build of a CF-101 was completed for M&B Industries. It turned out quite nice. At the same time we finished one of the first constructions of a U-Wing design that was just released.
A 1/6 scale model of a Harley Davidson Model 6 from 1910 was constructed for a client. The recipient has it on display and receives many questions about how it was made.
A 1/100 scale model of a German ASW/Harbor vessel was completed, the KFK-363.
A commission was completed for the construction of an artsy wall mountable wolf's head.
In late 2016 LT became a beta tester for M&B Industries' model designs. As of the start of fall 2016 a number of items have been built and refined. The photos for these have become the cover art for the commercial kits. Examples: Air Zimbabwe 737-200, DC-10
