SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue another strip in place, below the

first row, in the area shown.

When the last strip has dried, cut it

flush with the brown strips at the stern.

Continue placing strips aft to complete

the row.

263

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue another strip on the bottom of the

hull, along the side of the false keel.

Cut the last strip in line with the stern

strips, and then repeat Steps A-E for

the other side of the hull.

Cut away any of the strip that overlaps

the false keel.

264

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Attach the same number of courses on

the other side of the hull. As you can

see in the picture, the false keel should

not be covered.

Glue another two strips aft of the first,

along the edge of the false keel. When

dry, cut off any of the strip that extends

past the keel.

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 ™

Retrieve the beams from Stage 63.

Hold a ruler against the wooden strip at

the side of the opening in the deck and

mark the midpoint.

Apply glue to the ends of one of the

beams.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Mark the two midpoints between the

central beam and the fore and aft ends

of the opening, and glue a beam at each

point.

Position the ends of the beam below

the deck, aligning it centrally with the

line marked in Step A.

Glue another four beams in place,

between the three fitted in Steps C

and D.

267

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Continue aft, gluing another plank

in place. When dry, cut off the

overlapping strip.

Once you have all the beams in place,

continue planking the side of the hull.

Glue the first strip from the front edge

of the ninth gun port forward.

Glue a plank at the bow in front of the

fifth gun port.

268

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Complete the row of planks started in

Step H. You should now have seven

rows of planks. Repeat for the other

side of the hull and when dry, cut away

any parts of the planks that cover the

gun ports and the excess from the bow

and stern.

Once dry, cut away the part of the

plank that overlaps the false keel.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

269

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue a brown wooden strip underneath

the one fitted in Step D, page 262,

aligned with the false keel at the bow.

Continue placing strips aft to complete

the row that you started in the previous

step. Smooth the strips firmly against

the planks.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Fit another plank above the row placed

in the previous stage.

Cut the aft strip in line with the others,

as shown, and then repeat for the other

side of the hull.

Complete the row of planks. When

dry, cut the excess from the bow and

stern.

271

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Continue to place planks up the sides

of the hull. Remember to cut away the

parts of the planks that cover the gun

ports as you go along.

Fit another row of planks above the

previous one. To fit around the curve

of the hull at the bow, the end of the

plank may have to angle up slightly.

Continue to plank the sides until they

extend past the top of the bulwarks.

272

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Starting from the highest part of the

bulwarks (stern) and working forward

to the bow, cut the tops of the planks to

be in line with the tops of the bulwarks.

Move the knife along the tops of the

bulwarks with the tip facing toward

the centre of the hull, as shown in the

picture opposite.

Repeat this at the stern, so that the

bulwarks are completely covered.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

273

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Place a brown wooden strip next

to the one alongside the false keel,

positioning it forward of the first one

and overlapping the false keel slightly.

When dry, cut the overlapping part so

that the front of the strip is in line with

the previous strip and the false keel.

Continue aft to complete the row.

Make sure to press along the strips to

make sure they dry flush and smooth

against the hull.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

As you place more strips, they will begin

to leave gaps at the bow. This is okay, as

they will be filled in at a later stage.

It is likely that, due to the curvature of

the hull, the strips in some areas may

overlap one another - in this case cut

away the excess.

As with the bow, you will notice gaps

forming at the stern.

275

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut away the excess parts of the strips

at the stern.

Continue gluing strips in place, working

outwards from the false keel.

Place strips on both sides of the

hull until yours resembles the one

shown here.

276

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

This photo shows how your model

should now look at the bottom of

the hull. If yours is different, go back

through the steps and check that the

number of rows of wooden strips

match.

This is how your model should now

appear at the bow.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

277

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Continue to glue strips in rows along

the hull until the planks underneath are

covered (see following step).

As with the planks underneath, to fill

the gaps that have formed between the

brown strips, hold a strip next to one of

the gaps and mark the length of the gap

on the strip, as shown.

Test-fit the wedge in place. Adjust the

fit with sandpaper if necessary and then

glue in place.

Place a ruler over the marked strip and

cut at an angle from one end to the

mark to create a wedge.

Follow the same process to fill the

remaining gaps at the bow.

279

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Check the lighter strips toward the top

of the hull and fill any gaps you find

there.

To fill the gaps at the bow, it is

advisable to make wedges longer than

the gap, as shown, and then remove the

excess when dry.

This is how the bow of your model

should now appear.

280

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Once you have completed planking

the hull, check along the false keel and

remove any planks overlapping it.

At the stern, the strips should appear as

they do in the photo shown.

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.
