Great looking sea plane.

and thanks for all the work-in-progress shots - they are inspirational.

Thank you for all your comments, it's been a fun to do although the length of time it's taken to build the hull,did make it feel like it was taking forever ,mainly because of water lining and building a base. That fits( actually it doesn't after half a dozen dry runs it did then an application of glue to fix it into place and it didn't so the stern is proud of the base by 1/2mm you can't see it until you pick it up and look inside the rear mount and there's a thin light line my bad I didn't allow enough room for the glue)
Now this Proco Rosso stuff has me thinking so I'm going to knock out a couple of small flying wing planes to add to the fleet using Matts picture and the sea gull boat as inspiration and a simple starting point/ frame.shouldnt take more than a couple of hours to come up with something.
Mark,

Here you go Matt,a quick cereal packet plane just needs a prop and little tweaking.

That is an awesome version/spinoff of the Seagull. I picked up Tobsen's resin version years ago and it's appeared as exotic dockside scenery in a few pulp games - more photos over here, and still available on Tobsen's website.

That's highly impressive use of cereal packets, Tin Shed Gamer, though it does look like the curve of the aeroplaned wings is perhaps a bit too tight for the card.

Steve,
The answer is both yes and no,

If you precurve the card before forming the wing then it's a no it'll go smoothly,to do this you need to be sat at a table,and I used my knee while I watched TV with the kids.
The creasing is because I've pushed the leading edge in ,to form a flat area to add a panel with a point/weapon sticking out ,the yes is the panel is to small to precurve,the whole thing will be on a flight stand.(if bother painting it).
Wire lizard,
It's an interesting colour scheme,thank you for posting it confirms the drawbacks of this shape when casting,I use card rather than Cad for concepts as it's faster and this is a proof of concept to check for hidden casting issues before I sculpt a the master. I chose to post this idea,because its a simple build which anyone can build using my old tri motor tutorial.

Mark.

That's a very impressive model.

I think it looks better as a plane than a boat.

;)thank you Tony ,its a bit roughet than my usual card models (as its a concept not a model,as Ive mentioned before these usually get thrown away or stuck on the wall until Ive time to build a castable version,)
It does make a nice looking plane.Ive a dead hour tonight while Im waiting for another project to dry before I can knock off so I'll through some paint at it and see what it looks like.
Mark,

Constable Bertrand · « **Reply #71 on:** August 25, 2015, 10:20:51 PM »

Wow Mark, that turned out better than I thought, I was thrown by that earlier popular science picture

.

The flying wing looks good.

So with gluing the pre curved card, should you have started in the middle of the curve (front edge) then down to the back point edge? Or start at the point back edge up the flat then round the curve front edge before back down to the back?

Cheers
Matt

tin shed gamer · « **Reply #72 on:** August 26, 2015, 12:48:47 AM »

I don't quite know how to answer
I glue the vertical former (excluding the front semicircular curve )in place first,then the horizontal former (which makes the lower relief wing flap ) then make a couple of dry runs checking the fit,then glue the bottom half of the semicircular curve in place ensuring the wing profile former stays vertical,then a few more dry runs and then I apply glue to the rest of the profile former and the entire horizontal former,bringing the curve down to meet the lower half on a flat surface don't try to bring the flat side to the curve or attempt it without a flat surface,you'll only end up deforming the whole thing.

Steve it all comes good in the wash

. Tony doesn't quite look like the boat now, I kained out a quick paint scheme to go with the over all Crimson Pig theme. I'll add a prop at a later date(now it's painted it won't be going into the bin)
