Red Jacket by Audi man2 - FINISHED - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - Extreme Clipper Ship

[Audi man2]

I have just completed Blue Jacket kit of the clipper Red Jacket , this got done over a two year period and the final result 

reflects the quality of the kit. Let me say that this kit presented a challenge and I would not recommend it to a novice modeller

however if you have the patience and some manual dexterity you will be rewarded. I didn’t do a step by step photo essay 

but here are a few pictures starting out up to the finished model.

Greetings colleague,

it turned out great !!! Wonderful detailing!

I studied the model foto with great interest ...

were any additional information used in the construction besides the instructions from the kit?

With respect.

Hola,espectacular trabajo,muy cuidado y muy bien terminado,soy Bernardo,soy español,yo tambien compre el kit del RED JACKET recientemente a Blue Jacket,atraves de su distribuidor europeo en Suecia,estoy en la fase de cortar las plantillas para realizar los ajustes correspondientes en el casco,ya que es la unica referencia para que el casco salga bien, simetrico y definido,yo personalmente lo que me parece un tanto flojo para la calidad que ofrece este kit es la figura que representa el indio seneca de el mascaron de proa y popa ,la figura que trae el kit tiene muy poco detalle,yo consegui una figura mucho mas realista y mas detallada para este cometido

Spectacular work, very careful and very well finished, I am Bernardo, I am Spanish, I also buy the RED JACKET kit recently at Blue Jacket, through its European distributor in Sweden, I am in the phase of cutting the templates to make the corresponding adjustments in the helmet, since it is the only reference for the helmet to go well, symmetrical and defined, I personally what seems a little loose for the quality offered by this kit is the figure that represents the Seneca Indian of the mascaron bow and stern, the figure that brings the kit has very little detail, I got a much more realistic and more detailed for this purpose

 

Bueno a sido un placer conocerte,un saludo,seguimos en contacto

In this translation from Spanish into English the correct from from Helmet is Hull. In Spanish the word "casco" applies for Helmet and Hull.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us here at MSW - I've always wondered how this kit would build up and you've done it justice, and to think in only two years' time as well!  Do you have any future builds in the works?  Steve M

Those big single topsails must have been miserable on a dirty night.
