Sea Fighter (FSF-1)

Great "real" drawing

Hopefully to see a "own design", derived and much enlarged/improved from this Sea Fighter
(this kind of design => http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k279/ ... uer1AU.gif)

Thanks for your warm welcome and comments.

The following changes were incorporated:
- Added missing watermark
- made the helicopters hovering
- changed the forward hull number style
- painted WaterJets black
- removed rounded window corners
- changed some line colours on the ‘yacht’ mast (late 2005)

- Her under water hull should be red with a wide black line at the water line, end the water jet should also be painted red: see the Coast guard version bellow.

Sea Fighter is painted black below the waterline. See below pictures... Common copper based anti-fouling paint would lead to galvanic corrosion of the aluminium hull.

- When going over from grey hull color to grey superstructure you are doing it very well, but the black line that separate the hull from superstructure should be dark grey. Black lines is used to tell that this corner is 90 degrees, But a wall that is less than 90 degrees will have the other part of the wall visible.

Yep, I’ve thought about that. In fact I did make a version where that line was dark gray before posting it the first time, but it didn’t look right. There is actually a 90° corner on the top of that ‘built in fender’. However, it is a very small ledge. So I don’t know if this realy warrants the black line. What do you think?

No it isn't enough for an black outlining, you need to shade it a bit better, it would then solve it self. what you can do is do some shading work and just give the area a dark grey outlining.

Here what I did white a different vessel, I did go a bit more art in the shading work, but it looked a bit better.

I'd leave the black line in place. I'd also say that I look forward to seeing these drawings on the site at the next upload session.

A different surface with a different plane is separated by a black line. Only surfaces with less than 90 degree joint are separated by gray.

Welcome! Your drawings are perfect to introduce yourself.

I've taken heuhen's advice to heart and played a bit with the shading on the fender. Not something, I’ve got a lot of experience with. However, I believe it is looking better now than it did before.

Changes to previous version:
- shading of the fender stripe
- small changes on the masts
- refined flag
- lengthened bulwark
- subdivision of bullwark elements
- some change on colours

Plus there's a new one to illustrate the function of the safety nets on the flight deck.

add an Dark grey line (or black) above those and see what happens. I know it isn't totally perfect but it might work. getting it to stand a bit more out.
