Hello everyone. My name is Adam, i'm new to Shipbucket but i have seen drawings that other people have done before and i was blown away by the amount of detail you guys put into these ships, so i decided i'd try and attempt to draw the U.S.S. Montana(BB-67) as a never built design, like i said i love the work people do on here and thought i'd contribute something to the website too.

Adam

Hi and Good luck! Massive undertaking your doing and here is a line drawing(not to Ship-bucket scale though) if you need it (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... rawing.jpg)

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

indeed, welcome and good luck!
keep in mind that an ship like the montana class will be judged by the best and is a lot of work to finish, so I wish you good luck.
an suggestion is to first draw an small ship (light cruiser or something) of the same time era to master the standard without too much of work.

I second that. No matter how good your first ship is going to be you'll want to redraw it after a while as you get even better (hopefully). But redrawing a whole battleship is quite a task ;)
And welcome to ShipBucket!

Welcome aboard. I'll echo the advice posted above. Start out small then work your way up. I've been here for more than an year and I've yet to draw anything that won't fit on a small template.

And, a further comment, thankyou for introducing yourself Adam_L_M; this used to be the courtesy on the Forum, and its good to see someone still respecting it.
