  1. 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.

  2. 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
  3. I've used the Revel Constitution figures for the Red Jacket and other models as well. Nic
  4. Hi Rob, Where did you get the 3-D printed 1/8" figures? They look great. Nic
  5. Just a note- the NRG photo competition wants a 500 WORD description, not 500 pages! Nic
  6. Sorry I missed this earlier - nice job, your customer file now shows a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic
  7. Nice! Your customer file now reflects a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic
  8. ancient modeling phrase ---- "Putty and paint..... makes it look like what it ain't"
  9. Congratulations! Your customer file now shows a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic
  10. regarding rudder throw - either go further out on the servo arm or closer in at the rudder arm. Or both! Nic
  11. noted modeler Steve Wheeler once said "the wastebasket is your best tool" Nic
  12. The answer is yes to all options. There is usually more than one way to achieve a goal. Nic
  13. The pins would be used to help fasten the carriages to the deck. The most logical placement would be through the crossbar at the rear, below where the quoin goes. Nic PS - The quoin is a wedge shaped piece with a handle, used to fine adjust the angle of the cannon.
  14. So photos can be deceiving. If the real guns were blackened, then I'd say your blackening would be accurate. Nic
  15. To my eyes, Avi's pix of the real cannon look very dark gray as opposed to flat black. Then there is the "scale effect" of distance, which means the further away you are, the more washed out colors become. People looking at your model from 2 feet away is like looking at the real thing from 20 feet away. Nic
