It is all still at the research and sketching stage, but I am planning a flying Shark.
More details to follow.

Cool! That's something to get your teeth into! :D
-
I guess you won't be watching the Shark Tornado films for inspiration?! lol
Curious to see how this develops :)
-
how will it breath out of the water?
-
Slight change.....
It's now going to be a Flying Hammerhead Shark!
Tony

That makes me think of this from Dungeons and Dragons......

In this thread a shark jumps you.

And so it begins.....
I will be building a 1/300th scale Aeronef based on the TSR, Dungeons and Dragons supplement SPELLJAMMER.

My plan is to modernise the offensive armament to include fast fire, breach-loading guns and some larger hull side cannon.

Great project but it would be preferred if you have everything here first and foremost :)
Blog entries are fine but they should take a second place to the build.

At long last construction started.....

The hull is being constructed out of Pink Foam, as you can see in the images above I have used five different pieces to construct the hull. The individual parts were cut from foam with a jigsaw, glued together with superglue and then trimmed and sanded to shape.
I then used both sanding sticks and sanding pads to refine the shape before filling any holes with a filler, uPVA glue mix.

Obviously there is still a long way to go, but so far, I'm happy with the progress.

Looking great already! Great work! 8)

Nice! 8) How are you going to do the planks around the hull? Also what size is this bad boy? Is it for 28mm?
-
Nice! 8) How are you going to do the planks around the hull? Also what size is this bad boy? Is it for 28mm?
Not sure at this moment. I think it will be sticky-back plastic.
The model is built to 1/300th scale or 1mm = 1 foot.....
So no it is not for 28mm figures, it will be for 6mm figures.

Nice "bones" to your build :-*

Correct: The model is built to 1/300th scale :D
I'm hoping to use the Shark build as inspiration/goading so it can attack my Zeppelin!
-
very good start
-
The hull looks really nice. From the picture alone I thought it was made from balsa wood.
-
Most of the work last night was defining the basic hull shape. I have used card blanks to both define and add height to the hull, then filled any gaps with a filler/uPVA glue mix before sanding with sanding sticks and flexible pads.

The upper hull sides have been modelled from card. I find that card bends and conforms to the curved hull sides better than plastic card. I used superglue to glue these parts into place and then filled any gaps with a filler/uPVA glue mix. Once the filler was fully set, I sanded the sides with both a sanding stick and sanding pads.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3qoXlScP_jQ/WHuV2Wd0o8I/AAAAAAAARVM/xWeN919fLGA7ChZfeR-UCu3kqQQbX8fIACLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2Bconstruction%2B012.JPG)
The small sets of steps towards the rear of the main deck are just triangles of Pink Foam glued in place with superglue. With every addition of filler and then sanding, the hull sides and hull shape is further refined.

More detailing on the hull sides.

The deck and hull sides continue to get attention. The forward section now has a gun redoubt that will house a cannon on a swivel base. This was built from a section of Biro barrel. Once again the other parts were card glued in place with superglue and then filled with fine filler and uPVA glue before being sanded smooth.

This is awesome looking, it's been really fascinating watching the hull shape get refined.
Could you post a picture with something else alongside the hull for some scale, please? I know this is small but a coin or Xacto knife or even just holding it in your hand for a pic would be great for a proper sense of the size.

The latest update; and at long last the Hammerhead Shark head has been modelled.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yIoY6Txvqbs/WH3UOKzz_fI/AAAAAAAARVw/g4WIk3LpdVos1_Zki2sKWrOkZu2u15NCQCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2Bconstruction%2B018.JPG)
I have used some scrap Green Foam to model the simple aerofoil section and then, when I was happy with the shape I cut it in half and glued one half to each side of the hull. The shape was refined once the glue was fully set, by sanding with some fine sanding sticks and pads. The upper nose section has been filled with DAS modelling clay and I would expect this to be further detailed once fully hardened.
The gills are sections of plastic floor sections from the Airfix Sci-Fi platform kit. They were cut out with a razorsaw, before being thinned and glued in place with superglue.
The model is 150mm long, 50mm wide (across the head) or 25mm wide (across the hull) and 26mm deep at the central hull.

Very nice contours - and another variation on the use of foam - interesting. 8) 8) 8)

Nice smooth work!

The latest update shows the card keel that was added to the model. The keel was built from three separate pieces of 1mm thick card - it was easier to cut the profile in three parts rather than try to cut it out in one.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W0iwHKzQMhg/WIB2FKn5XJI/AAAAAAAARWc/rbZiFW-dyfw5zJZC-1TkCWD2-j2pOE55wCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2Bconstruction%2B027.JPG)
The main piece runs from the bow, level with the deck to about 3/4 of the way under the hull, The rear section is about 10mm long and ends in the Anal Fin and the small addition to the very front is just 5mm tall.
All of the individual parts were coated in superglue before being cut and sanded to shape. As you can see the small addition to the bow has still to be sanded back (to reduce the gloss finish of the superglue). Any gaps were filled with the filler/uPVA glue mix.
The Hammerhead Shark head has also been coated with the filler/uPVA glue mix and then sanded smooth.

At long last - the main mast has been fitted. I tapered a cocktail stick by sanding it with a sanding stick and glued it into a 1mm hole into the fore-deck.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-46lBG7gITcs/WIHMLEEQDUI/AAAAAAAARW4/FtBVNSAH8_QRLmwyol-wuEwaOz0fHyGpgCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2Bconstruction%2B033.JPG)
The model is 154mm long, 50mm wide (across the head), 25mm wide (across the hull) and 75mm tall (to the top of the mast).
Once again, the hull has been painted with a filler and uPVA glue mix then sanded with fine abrasive pads to smooth out the small imperfections.

Great progress Tony, especially as it must be really fiddly at the smaller scale. 8)

I decided to remove the modern plastic vents or gills from the hull sides and replace them with sculpted or modelled plastic card gills.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UyWo4xjF4pc/WIMYcst-v_I/AAAAAAAARXM/B_DikiDlf4UQu8i52LxqZ0U3k1QSQXJ0wCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B003.JPG)
The vents were removed by placing a scalpel blade between the vents and the hull and twisting the blade - this did cause some damage, but this was quickly repaired with filler. I cut a strip of 4mm thick plastic card into a tapered or sharp triangle section and then sanded the cut edges smooth. Once I was happy with the profile I glued four gills to each side of the forward hull with superglue. When the glue was fully set, I used a scalpel and sanding sticks to refine the shape. I think the sculpted gills look better than the earlier grey plastic ones.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OzrmymP4tAk/WIMYeTS5n5I/AAAAAAAARXQ/q9Y4NWBhEvwfTlzdlR_uz-uNEmSmG8XiwCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B002.JPG)
The hammerhead shark head was further detailed by sanding and the addition of more filler. I was very aware that this particular feature could make-or-break this particular build, So time spent getting it right was in my opinion time well spent.

Now that the hull has been modelled it is now time to start adding the detail and in particular the Aeronef themed detailing. My plan is to add a fore and aft gun on a round bases and four gun openings to each side of the hull. Remember this is supposed to be an Aeronef flying ship and not the more primitive Spelljammer ship with catapults and Ballista.
The finished Aeronef will feature alongside my Squidship, Lilith as featured in this earlier post and will crewed by Martians.
http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=squidship
Once the freezing cold weather relents, I'll get back down the shed and start modelling these fine details.

In this daily update, I have added five gun ports to each side of the main hull. I was planning four a side, but thought that five fitted better. There are also some deck details which like the gun ports were modelled with various thicknesses of card.
I estimate that there are over 60 separate or individual pieces used so far and construction is only about 60% finished.

The tail section was constructed from a single piece of .75mm plastic card which was cut and sanded to shape before being inserted into a grove in the tail section. Once the tail was in place I sealed the area with both Green Stuff and superglue.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8Iy_qp5PxHc/WIhhnWPTzpI/AAAAAAAARYo/5g8ik6Dedj0PeKhf-8J0Lvgd_Glf4w_HwCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B014.JPG)
I have added liquid superglue to the tail section to build-up an aerofoil section which I will further fill and sand later in the project.
Additional ventral fins were added to the tail section, modelled from plastic card and glued in place with superglue.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PaMzL3c0KO8/WIhhxBubdjI/AAAAAAAARY0/Kcvh3B9pcf8k7jobdRjDBV48VCqOCEeWwCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B021.JPG)
During planning for this model I came across these Shark Aircraft which I thought were worth sharing with the group.

The latest post shows how I have added the viewing ports or galleries to either side of the rear hull. These were constructed from sections of pen barrels with plastic card bases and tops. They were glued in place with superglue and further detailed with sticky-back plastic.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VsoCiP2GCcU/WImxdiHeOuI/AAAAAAAARZc/vZbs1HXOT54lhTxz7q_RvPW7tQ5BurrdgCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B027.JPG)
Other detail included some scroll work on the hull sides and the distinctive Hammerhead Sharks eyes which were constructed from the tops of some round plastic rods.

I like where you have gone with this.

Yesterday evening I added the main Dorsal Fin or sail which was constructed from .75mm thick plastic card. The method I used to add the sail was to cut out the sail section with a small upright addition to the bottom and then carve out a portion of the main mast so that the sail and this addition fitted into the mast, running from the deck and up the lower part of the mast.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b8ctJX_oQlw/WIsI-uOI10I/AAAAAAAARZ4/ZYs_jxYtsJES5_vY-Wl1Qw2w0vGWqHRVwCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B033.JPG)
The join was strengthened with superglue and accelerator as well as adding a ring of superglue around the mast where the sail attaches. I'm sure you can follow this when you look at the images. When the superglue had fully set, I used a scalpel to trim down the diameter of the mast.
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N9lWJK9QuGk/WIsJEhZqxMI/AAAAAAAARZ8/sbG5cqoChFcSIzXiBc01Wo-UXik3XHu9gCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B035.JPG)
I also have to admit to the first mishap of the project. I broke off the upper tail section at the join with the rear deck and this join then had to be reinforced with superglue and accelerator applied in layers. Once the supeglue was set, I sanded the join to get rid of some of the excess superglue and to smooth out the join.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Wb7Gs4v_lc/WIsJGWn0MiI/AAAAAAAARaA/7HVx7MBI6qU_orn4ueO5KBv5lrhXkWLcACLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B036.JPG)
I have also added some hull decoration - I used a thin strip of sticky-back plastic along the side of the hull.
I added another layer of the filler/uPVA glue, this time with some white acrylic paint added to the mix to both define and smooth out the hull contours.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qX1xnP9vock/WIsJKEuttgI/AAAAAAAARaE/EIaABL5laUAOD3dBIxZcur75pM8gz-MIgCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B039.JPG)
Progress is very slow as the cold weather has meant that visits to the shed-at-the-bottom-of-the-garden are limited. In addition I am trying to restrict working on the Hammerhead Shark as I have a second and more important project on the go at the same time. Call it Bad Planning.

The model, at long last is nearing completion. The Pectoral and Pelvic fins were constructed from plastic card and after scraping and sanding to a slight aerofoil section, they were glued in place with superglue.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0jrVWKl1Lkw/WIxVYZGAasI/AAAAAAAARak/HL6nwYySjvYlN4US2QlVWtVnbijhjBHZQCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B049.JPG)
I have built up the join from fin to hull with some more superglue and evened out any imperfections with more filler/uPVA glue.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-baxsowkIDbc/WIxVb0R4SDI/AAAAAAAARao/Oi93iJI2IjsDJ_nYS_cweq0U7qBdxlAVwCLcB/s320/Hammerhead%2BShark%2Bconstruction%2B-%2Bpart2%2B045.JPG)
I have used a number of Spelljammer images as inspiration for this particular model, taking points or parts from one and detail from another. Next will be the deck guns and then I can undercoat ready for painting.

I have added two deck mounted guns, one on the fore deck and one to the stern. These were constructed from plastic card and plastic rod with knitting needle discs as bases (the red discs).

The model is 140mm long, 54mm across the head and eyes, 25mm wide across the main hull and 58mm across the pectoral fins. It is 86mm tall, bottom of pectoral fin to top of mast and it weighs just 18g.
I would expect this to be the last set of images posted for now as the rules state that this is a Build Something Contest and not a Paint Something Contest. But there may just be one more!

I estimate that there are over 120 separate pieces to the model.

It's a lovely looking build: smooth, sleek and yet detailed 8) :-*

That's a real beauty. 8) 8) 8) :-*
It would be cool to have other ships from the Spelljammer universe.... :D

Have you not seen his squid ship?

Turned out really great, I love it. Can't wait to see it in color. :)

With the construction finished, here is the promised image of the undercoated model. I have used Vallejo Game Color Leather Brown as both a primer and an undercoat and a Sepia wash to highlight some of the sculpted or modelled detail.

Both the paint and the wash were applied with a medium sized soft hair acrylic brush and I used some Klear (Future) as a medium to get the smooth finish.
The final image shows the Hammerhead Shark posed alongside a Vallejo dropper bottle, as I had been asked in earlier posts to show the model alongside something to show the size and scale.

very nice indeed

That ship is a cracking wee piece Tony! :-* You're needing to do some set ups with your squid ship and a dark, star strewn background. Maybe try and emulate some of the Spelljammer artwork?
