  1. Decals on wood are tricky. It’s very hard to get them perfect these decals are on painted wood. good luck
  2. I’m looking for a kit that I can build noahs Ark. it doesn’t have to be a Noahs Ark kit just one I can bash to look like Noahs Ark any suggestions? thanks
  3. The big mod was creating and building the water cannons. I had to research that a lot. Then I had to build the water cannon out of available components. Then I searched for NYFD decals and had the make sure they were the correct size . Mounting the decals was tricky on wood Bur basically it’s your tugboat with some bells and whistles Rich Hipexec
  4. Nic I have no idea how many of your tugboat kits have been built, but mine is probably the first to be converted to a fireboat. Are you happy about me hijacking your kit? ….. Or upset? hipexec
  5. This tugboat kit says it’s for less experienced builders. I’ve been building boats for years most of which were plank on bulkhead or plank on frame period sailing ships. Two of my builds are now in museums, but I have to say I’ve had some challenging times building this tugboat. It’s not a walk in the park.
  6. I had a chance to buy this exact kit from a person on Ebay who offered me this kit for half what BlueJacket charges. They claimed it was unopened and complete. As tempting as that was I told the seller I’d rather pay full price in case I needed support from BlueJacket. Wow what a good decision that was. BlueJacket has been supporting me maximum. Please consider BlueJacket before you buy another kit.
  7. To install the stantions for the rails there has to be a small micro hole so the bottom tip can just snugly fit. Just before inserting the post the tip needs a thin coat of CA glue. Just enough so it doesn’t show .
  8. I have three stantions left. If I have enough railing rod when i finish those already installed, I’ll add two more to the pilot house roof
