Just got my new Heller Soleil Royal

Just found some graphics that show the all-blue hull/black at waterline.   Very beautiful.  This might be the way I go.  Hull is blue, with everything appearring to be guilded in gold or some kind of darker yellow tone.

Hi!

Please help! Need assembly instruction of Heller Reale de France very much. Any copy: paper, electronic, digital camera photos. Thanks in advance.

Grymm:

 I am foremost a figure painter, and one tip I can give you in the painting of any metalic is to use "Printers Ink" Yes printers ink. You add it with a oil meduim, or the liquid that floats atop the tin of humbroil metalic paints. Then you use just regular paint thinner to thin it for brushng. It floats on very smooth, but takes week to dry. What is great about it is that in does not have any grain at all to it. My other suggeation is to undercoat the gold ared with a brown or russit color.

I hope this help

   Grymm, it's great to see someone else other than myself has this model, I'm going to wait until I have several smaller ships under my belt until I tackle the Soleil Royale and the HMS Victory, on a different note I just bought the DVD Disney's version of Treasure Island with Robert Newton as Long John Silver complete with one leg and a parrot, good ship scenes this movie is a hoot, good luck in your build and take plenty of photos.   Karl
