L'Indomptable 1790 by Magnus Baldur - Heller - 1:200 - PLASTIC

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.

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

You could give it a try if you can find them.

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.

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.

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).

[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.

[Magnus Baldur]

Since the kids insisted so much I did the stern. Blue with wood&gold flake trimming.

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..

[Magnus Baldur]

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.

[Magnus Baldur]

Forecastle and aft installed, yes those are popsicle sticks to push the rear together till the glue dries properly

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.
