Short Singapore

[JMSmith]

and now the body colour and start of panel lines

come on guys, give me some feedback, this is to large for little old me to do on my own

by the way it is painted overall aluminium, with planing bottoms black

[BLOWHARD]

Uh oh, you need more pictures and LOTS of them!!!
Check the hull-


The rear part of the boat hull is super sharp and flares away from the tail section drastically.
I'm not 100% sure but usually flyingboat hulls have sharp edges where there are steps...but that's just a guess. I see your drawing indicates a rounded edge where the vertical step meets the rear boat hull. I think the sharp edge would be rearward from that curve.

What a killer shape!

[JMSmith]

come on BH,

you are usually more precise than that, you have posted an image of the singapore 1 not the singapore 111, which is what i am doing

the edge of the lower hull will be sharp when i do the main highlight and shadow, at the moment it is only the main forming shape, but thank you for your input as always

by the way, i have lots of images and more coming as i request them, hires, owned by a very nice man who sells them for a living, but for me, they are free.

some of the many for you plus a mk1

[BLOWHARD]

Uh, I thought you would know that the hull shape between 1 and 3 stays the same
Are you going to do a Stranraer next?

[JMSmith]

ok,

changed the base colour to a touch darker, painted the hull bottom dk grey and reduced the opacity of the panel lines

no BH i am leaving that one for you, after this i have several Spads to do for a book

[gamary]

You certainly got yourself into something. BTW has the canvas surprise been of help?

Did I hear Spads? What Spads?

[JMSmith]

hi GM,

not had time to checkit yet, but i will when i need it and yes me and my big mouth sure as got me into very deep water this time (deep water, flying boat, get it)
the Spads are i think between the wars, won't know until my package arrives with all the info and images

and here is something that held me up for 2 days, a close up of the port holes, found the little so and so in one of my books that needs scanning.

I'm sure I would go insane, trying this one on.

Kudos to you John.

Yep. Makes chopper look boring.

[Otterkins2]

In case no one has checked...John IS insane! That's why he's doing the bizarre and unusual...and why he heckles the daylights out of us. Be a good boy now John and put on your straight jacket.
