William Beardmore 1912 CV

well, there is a cross section in the ref that gives the bilge section, hull flare and the draft. keeping in mind the rules of ship design, the forward section should be drawable........ however, I have doubts about if the propulsion and rudder can accurately be portraied.....

Looking good.
Probably best to leave the underwater off rather than guessing and undermining the quality of the topsides and the overall impression, especially since you had good sources for the upperworks and layout.

Looks promising, keep up the great work!

I will have a guess at the hull anyway for a AU built ship but may keep this hull less if cant find more info.

Updated with planking and a Hull (page1)

I think some 45 degrees style shading on the above-water hull would improve the looks of the vessel, as there is quite an overhang at least from midships to the stern.

Yes I think the whole lot is very overhung (apart from the small bit at the bow, might just shade that lighter).

[acelanceloet]

well, at midships the curve seems to be above the waterline, meaning that just above that point you'd have no shading either. this area gets bigger until the entire hull is unshaded as you get near the bow, which is indeed near vertical instead. as the stern is rounded, the angle there gets lower at some point too, altough due to the overhanging stern it does not go entirely unshaded I suppose.
