  1. Yes they did use wire. 3mm dia wire is VERY strong. personally, I use CA when I cut the wire so it doesn't unravel. To fasten, I loop the wire through an eye, when use a 1/4" piece of 1/16 aluminum tube to crimp the wire in place. Nic
  2. Yes, printing 11 x 17 worked perfectly. That must have been the size of the original instructions. Nic
  3. Hi Clare, I did, but it's still too small, even filling the page. but you gave me an idea to try - I'll see if I can print it on 11 x 17 Nic.
  4. Unfortunately, it is the correct instructions, but it only prints out on 1/4 of a page, much too small to be useful. Thanks anyway. Nic
  5. Thanks, but that is for the 1/200 model. I need the 1/100, which is much more detailed - the instructions are 38 pages Nic
  6. Need instructions for the Aurora Heller 1/100 kit. hismodel.com has a pdf, but it prints too small to read. The Heller.fr website has it advertised, but out of stock. Any help is appreciated. Nic
  7. Hi, Our Constitution is based on 3 years' research by Larry Arnot, including interviews with Constitution Commander Tyrone G. Martin (Ret). Larry also scoured the log books from that period as well. Our kit has been deemed the most accurate representation of that period by the USS Constitution Museum. I also agree with Jose Gonzales about the lower sails being put up out of the way in battle. Best regards, Nic
  8. Hi, Unfortunately, Charlie passed away in Oct of '20 - Make the deck to fit the boat, or possibly the base of the stern is thicker than the top? Nic

  10. Hi,

     

    We here at BlueJacket were gifted the Soleil Royal kit, sans instructions. Is it possible you still have them? If so, we would gladly buy them from you.

  11. I found this on the web: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=b62a81363822e03c&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS1082US1082&q=1+96+scale+figures&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiV6uaNpKuPAxUGM1kFHSYBCxAQ1QJ6BAg0EAE&cshid=1756307837066704&biw=1920&bih=953&dpr=1
  12. I've used the Revel Constitution figures for the Red Jacket and other models as well. Nic
  13. Hi Rob, Where did you get the 3-D printed 1/8" figures? They look great. Nic
  14. Just a note- the NRG photo competition wants a 500 WORD description, not 500 pages! Nic
  15. Sorry I missed this earlier - nice job, your customer file now shows a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic
  16. ancient modeling phrase ---- "Putty and paint..... makes it look like what it ain't"
  17. Congratulations! Your customer file now shows a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic
