Just started working on a Sea Control ship as a bit of light relief between the CVF's.
Used strips of 80 thou plastic card to create a block of plastic to act as a basis to the lower hull and then saw, carved, sanded to create the basic hull shape. Created the the hanger walls and built up a deck level around it and then shaped that to match the lower hull. the next deck level that goes up to the flight deck is is set on a different angle so it will be fitted next so that the edge where it meets the lower deck becomes a chine. Flight deck has been cut out so i can use as a template to establis the shape of the deck at the bows and i can then shape the deck to transition between the pointy bows and square flightdeck.
(Photos to follow later)
Once the bows are done its a simple case of detail around the hanger, mark up the flight deck and create the port side sponson under the extended deck. The Island should be relatively simple and the mast can be rebuilt from one of the Sprucan kits.
Now i may try clone this hull, if anybody is interested, It would only be the hull, deck and Island, the details would need to be added by the builder - walkways, doorsm masts, fittings etc.
