Thanks for the feedback. It has a long way to go but it is shaping up. I just wish I can do a boat that didnt need months worth of body work first. Im looking at some kind of mural for the top front. It is a descent size and want to try something new.

who is flykila?


thanks

This is what im going for:

Here is where im at now:

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/147/l_8bd73afbeea64d3194d7b8c380e9744b.jpg

Still have alot to do but taking my time to allow paint to dry. I always wanna rush it and wind up screwing it up. This is on top,front. Takes up pretty much the whole area.

looking incredible! can't wait to see it cleared! or better yet, blasting across the water....

[AndyW]

Looking great, tremendous save, one question though, what made you put the diamond design that way round, just a personal thing with me lol.........would have had it coming up from the stern tapering towards the bows.

[ScorpionAir66]

Loking great so far! Cool picture for rendering!!
Yep take your time....it's worth it

Sorry its been a while......... I put the airbrush down for a few months. To damn cold to do outdoors but starting it back up again. The ONLY reason I put that diamond design is because I judt didnt like the plain pinstripe in the first pics and I had already painted the shapes in that design. It is Goldens Water base so I really couldnt sand it down and start over because no clear yet. Anyway, I am slowly working on the shark and will post some update pics some time soon.

thanks everyone

[AndyW]

Nice to see you back.
