Hej Klas och välkommen ombord, Hello Klas
-
Frank, I am so sorry to hear about your cerebral palsy, just read your input now in this posting. Looking forward to seeing what you are into regarding build , see my other posting regarding Soleil Royal - Aurora/Heller.

Frank, I have no information on the "Prestige Series". Your kit is the one of the last in the series released 1977. Found this interesting information for you. Aurora Plastic Model Kits – A Brief History – Old Model Kits Blog I do hope you enjoy this video: Found this history as well; One website over in Europe that might be helpful for you to get higher quality parts for your kit is HiSmodel. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Soleil Royal, Aurora Heller 6550 (1977) (scalemates.com) Aurora and Heller had a joint venture between 1972 and 1977. The kit you have is a rare one. That's why you had a little hard time to find information and no I couldn't find any videos either. There is/was an unopen box at auction in pristine condition a while back. Don't know the outcome of it.

Tim, that looks real good. When I will be back at my Bluenose I will make her naked......😀, no sails as it takes away a lot of the nice rigging. -

Wayne, your age or what type of model or time era doesn't matter. Anything related to ships or boats are welcome. So from Pacific NorthWest I say -
Again I could be wrong, but looking at the "distance" to the other ships in the foreground she must be a huge one.

I wonder about that "picture"/painting..... it looks altered to me, the rendering doesn't match the overall picture. I might be wrong.

In 1741, Tyger measured 130 feet long and weighed 704 tons. It carried six 6-pounders on the quarter deck, twenty-two 9-pounders on the upper deck, and twenty-two 18-pounders on the gun deck. Source: Rediscovering HMS Tyger (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) -

Dave, I am using a unit which can be found craft stores. This one will do the poly/cotton combination and create a nice cut, but also to be used as a thread sealer.

Jonathan, I have using Vallejo paint for almost 15 years. I am very pleased with their paint both regular but specially AV (for airbrushing) And they do have two different gloss black, if you use a black primer the glossy with really come out. Best is to apply a surface preparation before applying primer. Has buscado gloss black - Acrylicos Vallejo. Go to Vallejos' website for more information. And I wish you the best with your painting.

Chris, Your 3d printed small boats look awesome, what software did you use? I also like the Gunboat Adder, I hope you didn't upload the plans without altercations because these would otherwise be easy to use from a Chinese perspective.

Hello from Seattle - looking to buy a built ship
Nirvana replied to wyapa's topic in New member Introductions
Wyapa, just an hour and a half drive south along I-5 corridor there another Washingtonian Welcoming you to MSW. Start simple, if you look at BlueJacket Inc's website you will find some solid hull kits to work with. That way you can only have to shape the hull and get going with details. Many kits involve planking a skeleton frame. Some have issues with that some don't. Start small and finish what you started before settling on another kit. -
A friend of mine built this model long time ago, (back in the 70's) and he was young. This model was way above his skill level. This is looking good.

I read in the Swedish news that "Stockholmare" are leaving the area due to increased cost of living. Wish I still had the apartment in Stockholm.

Exceptional, crisp and so clean. Did you use Ai for this....🙂
