SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut two 36mm lengths of 1 x 4mm

strip and glue them on top of the three

columns at the sides.

Glue the remaining four columns along

the inner sides of the deck, one at each

end and one in the space between.

Cut another strip about 65mm in length

and glue it onto the remaining columns.

363

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Test-fit one of the larger knees from

Stage 85 underneath the cathead. To

get a tight fit up against the strakes

below, you may need to file some of

them away.

Retrieve the two sets of knees from

Stage 85 and insert one of the catheads

into position. Glue one of the side

knees up against the aft side of the

cathead, as shown.

Apply glue and fix the knee into

position. When the glue has dried,

touch up the areas of bare wood with

black paint.

364

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Repeat Steps F-I for the other side.

Drill two holes with a diameter of

0.8mm in the cathead. Place a nail into

each hole.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Hold the rudder up against the false

keel at the stern. Adjust the top

(narrow) end of the rudder to fit the

curvature of the hull.

Cut seven 6mm lengths of 1.5mm brass

wire received with Stage 77.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Retrieve the seven hinges from Stage

77. Fit each hinge over the end of a

6mm length of brass wire.

Glue each of the 6mm lengths into the

hinges. Make sure there is space to fit

the other halves of the hinges – read

through the next four steps before

continuing.

Adjust the lengths of the hinges so that

they are the same length as the depth

of the stern section of false keel (see

Step G).

367

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

The rudder should now look like this,

and it should be able to move from

port to starboard.

Place the rudder in position up against

the false keel and drill through the

holes in the hinges, as shown. Glue

nails into each of the holes and cut off

the excess.

Assemble the 13 hinged gun port

frames from previous stages. Then,

starting from the bow, glue them in

place along the second row of gun ports

from the bottom.

368

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Apply a little glue to the undersides of

the wheels of each cannon carriage and

place them along the sides of the main

deck, up against the gunwales.

Retrieve the 28 assembled cannons and

the thread from Stage 79. Cut a 150mm

length of thread and tie it around the

thinnest part of the cascabel, then

secure the knot with a little glue. Repeat

with the other 27 cannons.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

369

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Drill a 0.8mm hole in the gunwales, to

either side of each cannon.

Shorten the eyebolts and glue one into

each of the holes, positioned as shown.

Apply glue to the thread to secure it

to the eyebolt, and remove the excess

when dry.

Using tweezers, pass the ends of the

thread from the cannon through the

eyebolts, from the outside, so they pass

back towards the cannon.

The cannons should now look like this.

371

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Assemble the gun port frames and

doors from this stage.

Repeat this process for the remaining

guns along the main deck.

Paint the insides of the doors with red

paint, as with previous gun port frames.

372

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue any remaining gun port frames

along the bottom row.

Glue the gun port frames into place on

the remaining ports of the second row.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue two of the grating pieces end to

end, up against the side of frame B.

Smooth the edges of the grating

sections with sandpaper.

Glue frame C up against the other side

of the gratings. All parts should be

flush, and the two frames should be

aligned centrally.

375

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue the two A frames either side of

the stem.

Glue the other two grating sections to

the bare side of frame B.

Place the assembly from Step F on the

step and up against the A frames. Mark

a line from the edges of frame C to the

edges of the A frames.

376

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Paint the frames black, then, when the

paint has dried, glue the assembly into

place. When the glue has dried, paint

the edges of the frames gold.

Carefully cut along the lines marked in

the previous step. Then smooth along

the cuts.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

beakhead strips from the parts sheet

Glue the second beakhead strip above

the first strip, against the step, frames

and hull.

the stem, the beakhead frames and the

bow, as shown.

Repeat this process (Steps C-D) to fit

the beakhead strips onto the other side

of the stem.

379

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Paint the four beakhead strips with gold

paint. Allow the paint to dry before

proceeding.

This is how the bow should now

look from the front. Check that the

beakhead strips are evenly placed.

Cut one of the previously assembled

grating squares in half diagonally, then

cut one of the halves in half again.

380

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue the grating piece between the

stem and the beakhead frames, as

shown in the photos on the right.

Use a sanding block to make the sides

of the triangle section of grating even.

should look at this stage. Keep any left-
