Thank you Carston and pilou.

Wow, looking better and better. Any chance of seeing some larger photos? And maybe some hidden line shots?

Whew! I was feeling even more insecure thinking you could create such amazing stuff with an antique SU program.

Requested pics.

Remainder.

Thanks everyone! This project is also going faster than most of previous projects. I think I'm getting the hang of it.

With pontoons. The pontoons need to be reworked.

Next couple of posts will be the requested pics.

Bryan K

Almost done... with the flying version. I still want to do a runway version to show the landing gear.

Still more detail left to add on this one. Most of this version's changes were made possible by hellnback sending me some very detailed plans. Thank you again.

Those pontoons were... interesting, but I can now do crazy curvilinear surfaces thanks to Curviloft.

This is straight SketchUp with a watermark background, ground turned on and colored and profiles and edges turned off.

Wow. For some reason this file jumped from 6mb to 39mb!

Can't wait to see the finished model, I think it's going to be awesome

Bryan K

Pontoon braces added. Pontoons angled correctly.

Thanks hellnback, but there are going to be a lot of mistakes on this one. SketchUp is now crashing constantly and becoming a lot less precise.

It will look good from a distance.

Model's looking great there Bryan! Watching for more! (Happy New Year, guys)
