Magnus Baldur Posted July 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2020 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 Spoiler 2 Spoiler 3 Spoiler 4 Spoiler 5 Spoiler 6 Spoiler 7 Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I'm finding is that L'Gladiatuer is the same mold/model. Would those instructions work? Wonder if I can find them. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Baldur Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted August 7, 2020 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.

Magnus Baldur Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted August 7, 2020 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. Edwardkenway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Baldur Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted August 10, 2020 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 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted August 12, 2020 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. Edwardkenway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Baldur Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted August 18, 2020 Since the kids insisted so much I did the stern. Blue with wood&gold flake trimming. ccoyle, clearway and Edwardkenway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Baldur Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted August 29, 2020 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 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted September 1, 2020 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. Edwardkenway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Baldur Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted September 4, 2020 Forecastle and aft installed, yes those are popsicle sticks to push the rear together till the glue dries properly Edwardkenway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Baldur Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted September 15, 2020 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. Edwardkenway and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
