    So...bow figure and bowsprit installed. Ropes installed to keep it in and those covers besides it. Installed those little doors and bow gun tampyons as well. Problem I have is my 4month old kitten swiped the left arm of the figure. Gotta figure out how to get some green stuff (warhammer model term) and I'll make one when I can.

    Decking installed and grating. Anyone else have a problem of cannons randomly coming loose? Idk why even though they are glued in they just pop loose.

    Bottom deck of cannons installed, half the 2nd installed, bottom of the shrouds installed as well. Really like the way the blue stripe pops out, now I just gotta find a wood wash/stain to make the brown more realistic..

    Since the kids insisted so much I did the stern. Blue with wood&gold flake trimming.
  16. Magnus Baldur
    Yes, I know the Stern gallery isn't going to be attached for a long while but I had to keep the kids busy and stop them shaking the table. Overall though I really like the blue color, seems pretty vibrant.

    Side framing in the stock wood the instructions call for and the cannons in Red&black (instructions say should be bronze but I went with Iron).

    I just looked at the top picture. I think I'm gonna have to put a few coats on it, sand it down and cover over that big ol glob of paint.

    So I decided to take the plunge and opened it. The instructions are i In French but below it are different languages, English being one of them. The other thing they have is it's set up like a Lego instruction manual. Problem I'm having is that it's all greyscale/blues for color schemes. Any input would be appreciated! I know the first layer is going on sloppy, sorry I have kids who can't seem to stop jiggling my arm. Here is the bottom primed, bottom white and inside gunports red.

    Only thing I'm finding is that L'Gladiatuer is the same mold/model. Would those instructions work? Wonder if I can find them. 🤔

    I just purchased the Heller, come to find out all the instructions are in French! Any way someone could either send me the instructions in English or share with me how to get them? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Going to repost all the pictures onto this thread as I go along. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
