Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08)
Seems realy top quality work here, but in IMHO the fly in the ointment, so to speak, is the seemingly exessive colour of the overhang shadowing.
Any way, this is a realy wonderful work of art, so thumbs up and Jolly good work (as Andy would say... )

Thank you Kim for the crest

Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08)
I thought the panel lines would cause a bit of debate If opinion suggests I'll go back and try to minimise them ... unfortunately at the moment they're so intrinsic to the drawing that if I simply recoloured them I think I'd take half the detail out too!
Really appreciate all your comments though! In terms of the overhang shading ... is it just the lower overhang? I was trying to show that the overhang there is more significant than the upper overhang but I agree that it looks too dark ... I've re-coloured it here:
I also had a crack at a scale F-35B ... I've nothing but respect for those who manage to get so much detail in such a small scale! I'm a total novice at it and I never appreciated how difficult it is! Hopefully someone more talented has one already done I can incorporate into the design. I could probably shove a Crowsnest on a Merlin, but my F35 from scratch leaves a lot to be desired

Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08)
Superb work! Looks great.
I agree that the panel lines are a bit too much. I also I'm not keen on the way the panel lines in the shade are a lighter tone where as the lines in the light are a darker tone.
What about the hangar doors? I'm not sure they should be completely shaded (or are the open?).
Well done though!

Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08)
Other than the minor corrections Colombamike has pointed out this is likely one of the best drawings to be posted here in a while!
Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08)
Do you have a version without those panel lines - they sort of make it look prefabricated and a bit strange
