Insert the end of the wire through one

of the holes in the chainwale until the

deadeye rests on it.

Make sure the holes in the deadeye

are positioned as shown. Then cut the

shorter length of wire and straighten

the other one.

Loop the end of the wire around and

hook the 1.5mm chain over it.

523

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

The parts should now look like this.

Secure the chain to the wire with glue.

Close the loop in the wire so that the

chain is secured.

Cut the chain to match the length of the

one shown in the photo. Then drill a

hole 1mm in diameter into the side of

the hull through the last link.

524

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Repeat Steps A-I to fit the foremast

starboard chainwale deadeyes and

chains to the chainwale and hull, as

shown. The deadeyes indicated by the

arrows are 4mm, the rest are 5mm.

Make sure no chains are obstructing

the guns.

Secure the chain to the side of the hull

by placing a nail through the last link

and hammering it into the hole created

in the previous step.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

525

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut 17 20mm lengths of 0.5mm brass

wire. Have 3mm and 5mm deadeyes

ready for use.

Wrap 12 of the 17 lengths around

5mm deadeyes, in the same way as on

page 521.

Insert the wire from one of the 5mm

deadeyes into the first hole of the

mainmast starboard chainwale. Create a

loop with the wire and hook the 1.5mm

chain over it. Cut the end of the chain

to match the one shown. Nail the end

of the chain into place, as on page 524.

Wrap the remaining five 20mm

lengths of brass wire around five

3mm deadeyes.

Fit another 5mm deadeye to the

chainwale in the same way. Then fit

a 3mm deadeye into the third hole.

Remember to position the chains so

that they do not obstruct the guns.

527

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Prepare 12 5mm deadeyes and five

3mm deadeyes, as in Steps A-C. Place

the first 5mm deadeye in the first hole

in the mainmast port chainwale, then

create a loop in the wire at the bottom

of the chainwale. Attach the chain to

the loop and secure the other end with

a nail.

Fit the remaining deadeyes to the

chainwale. The 3mm deadeyes are

indicated by arrows.

Fit the rest of the 5mm and 3mm

(arrowed) deadeyes to the port

chainwale.

528

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Here you can see how the two foremast

chainwales should appear. Next, you

will be shown how to fit the mizzenmast

chainwale deadeyes.

This photo shows the two mainmast

chainwales with deadeyes fitted.

529

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Retrieve 3mm and 5mm deadeyes

and 0.5mm brass wire. Cut 10 20mm

lengths of the brass wire. Prepare seven

5mm deadeyes.

Prepare three 3mm deadeyes.

Fit the rest of the deadeyes along

the chainwale, as shown. The 3mm

deadeyes are indicated by arrows.

Insert the wire from one of the 5mm

deadeyes into the first hole of the

mainmast starboard chainwale. Create a

loop with the wire and hook the 1.5mm

chain over it. Adjust the length of the

chain and then nail it into place.

Repeat Steps A-D for the starboard

side of the hull.

531

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Repeat for the pin rails on the

port side.

Glue 24 of the received pins into the

holes in the pin rails shown in the

photo. It is best to test-fit them first.

This is how the belaying pins and rails

should now appear.

532

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

The foremast belaying pins and pin

rails should look like this.

Glue another 24 pins into the pin rails

near the bow.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

To make the rudder chains, retrieve

the 3mm rings from Stage 40, plus

some eyebolts and the chain from

Stage 91. Open one of the rings, loop

through an eyebolt and the last link of

the chain, then close the ring.

Loop a second ring through another

eyebolt and the link at the other end of

the chain.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue the two eyebolts at the ends of the

chain into the two holes furthest from

the rudder. Before proceeding, cut the

chain in half.

Drill six holes with a 0.75mm bit. The

holes should be aligned, and positioned

3mm from the edge of the stern gallery.

Loop a ring though four eyebolts and

then close them. Glue the four eyebolts

into the four remaining holes drilled in

Step C. Drill a hole in the rudder and

test-fit two eyebolts in it, inserting them

from both sides. Trim them so that the

ends don’t project out of the hole, and

then glue them into place.

535

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Adjust the chain so that the loops

formed between the rings hang at

the same length. Cut the end of the

chain so that it extends 30mm past the

bottom of the eyebolt in the rudder.

Apply glue to the chain in the rings to

prevent them moving.

Attach some wire to the last link in the

chain to make it easier to handle. Pass

the chain through the rings hanging

from the upper eyebolts, as shown.

Open the loop in the eyebolt glued into

the rudder and hook the last link of the

chain over it. Close the loop.

536

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

The rudder chains are now

complete, and should look like the

ones shown here.

Repeat Steps F-H for the second

rudder chain. Make sure that the loops

formed between the rings hang at the

same length before gluing.

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Place the bowsprit (part 1) on the

bowsprit plan and mark the angles at

either end, and the length.

Cut away the end of the bowsprit so

that it matches the length of the one on

the plan. Make sure that the angle of

the cut is the same as well.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Once the bowsprit is tapered, lightly

smooth the surface with sandpaper.

The bowsprit tapers slightly, as

shown on the plan. To achieve

this, place the bowsprit under a

sanding block and rotate while

gently applying pressure and

moving along the dowel with

the block. Do this until the

tapering matches.

Mark the lines of the slots shown on

the plan onto the bowsprit.

539

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Smooth the slots with a file, adjusting

the angles or depths slightly if

necessary. Store the bowsprit and its

associated parts together until they are

needed again.

Using a knife, carefully cut out the two

slots from the bowsprit. Make sure the

angles are correct and stop when the

depth matches.

Glue the larger dummy cannons into

the remaining gun ports along the

bottom gun deck. You should now

have all the cannons in position.

540

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue the remaining pins to the pin rails

by the main and mizzenmasts.

Glue five pins into each of the two pin

rails fore and aft of the foremast hole.

should look at this stage. Keep any left-
