Drill a 1mm hole at each of the points

marked in the previous step.

Take one of the 75mm lengths and

mark points at the distances shown in

the photo, 2mm in from the edge.

This photo shows the position of the

mizzen chainwale. Glue it into place

above the three aft gun port frames of

the highest gun deck, and make sure

it’s positioned with the holes outermost.

Remove eight of the knees from the

fret. Smooth any roughness with a file

or sandpaper.

Make sure that the mizzen chainwale is

perfectly horizontal. You may need to

shape it slightly to fit the curvature of

the hull.

Glue four of the knees to the side of

the hull and the top of the chainwale,

as shown. You may need to adjust their

shape slightly so they don’t extend past

the edges of either.

424

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Repeat Steps C-I for the port

chainwale, as shown.

Paint the chainwale and the knees with

the same stain used with the previously

stained parts.

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 ™

Test-fit the figurehead in place at the

front of the stem.

It is likely that you will need to adjust

the strips that the figurehead is in

contact with. Cut or sand them until the

fit is correct and then glue into position.

Pass the end of the eyebolt into the

hole at the top of the bell. Slide the

bell all the way up the eyebolt, then

apply glue to the inside of the bell to

secure it.

Pick up the belfry (Stage 106), bell

(105) and an eyebolt from any previous

stage. Open the loop at the end of the

eyebolt, and hook it into the loop of the

belfry. Close the loop of the eyebolt,

and then stand the belfry upright and

fix the eyebolt into position with glue.

Cut the end of the eyebolt so that it is

in line with the bottom of the bell.

427

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut two 25mm lengths of 1 x 4mm

wooden strip, and glue them to the

tops of the columns and up against

the belfry.

Glue the belfry in the centre of the

main deck, up against the bow end

of the opening. Then glue two small

columns either side of the belfry, as

shown (arrows).

Remove a pair of knees from the fret

from the previous stage. Smooth with

sandpaper and paint the knees and the

strips from the previous step with wood

stain. Glue the two knees up against the

bow side of the belfry, as shown.

428

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Prepare two more knees by sanding

and staining them, and glue them

up against the aft side mizzen pin

rail uprights.

Retrieve the chimney supplied with

Stage 105 and glue it centred between

the two knees, with the opening at the

top facing towards the bow.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

Cut pieces of 2 x 4mm wooden strip

to fit at the front of the quarter gallery,

between the railings and the top and

bottom strips, as shown. Glue them

into place.

Cut a further nine pieces of wooden

strip and glue them over the wider

upright sections of the window frames.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut three lengths of 2 x 2mm strip to fit

between the 2 x 4mm strips placed in

Steps A and B, at the tops of the lowest

window frames.

Cut a length of 2 x 2mm wooden

strip to fit in line with the top of the

1 x 4mm strip at the bottom of the

quarter gallery, and another to fit at the

top (arrows). Bend the strips to shape

and glue them into place, in line with

the tops and bottoms of the grid of

vertical strips.

Prepare and glue lengths of 2 x 2mm

wooden strip to fit at the tops and

bottoms of the middle window frames.

431

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Paint the wooden frames from Steps A,

B, D, E and F with brown paint.

Cut a further three lengths of wooden

strip and glue them at the bottoms of

the upper window frames, as shown.

Take the two quarter gallery tops and

place them on top of the port and

starboard quarter galleries. Cut away

any wooden strips that prevent the tops

sitting flush. Then glue them into place.

432

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Paint the strips above the gallery

bottoms with gold paint.

Paint the tops of the quarter galleries

with the same gold paint that was used

for the railings.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Collect some previously received

1 x 4mm strips and cut 12 18mm

lengths and seven 8mm lengths.

Glue the frames along the side of the

hull, as shown.

Next, cut some 2 x 2mm strip into 12

14mm lengths and seven 6mm lengths.

Glue an 18mm step below the first

and third raised strips, and another

above the second and fourth. Then

glue another step between the top and

bottom. Ensure that the right edges of

the steps are in line with the gun port

frames (red line).

To make the side ladder steps, glue the

6mm lengths under the 8mm lengths,

and the 14mm lengths under the 18mm

lengths, as shown. Smooth the surfaces

of the steps with sandpaper.

Now glue two 18mm steps above the

lower set of three, and glue three below

them, as shown.

436

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

When finished, this is how the side

ladder should appear. Paint the ladder

with the same protective varnish you

used for the rest of the hull.

Glue the remaining 18mm step above

the top set of three. Then glue the

8mm steps at the points shown in

the photo (arrows).

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

437

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Place one of the two 2 x 15 x 135mm

strips you prepared in Stage 106 against

the side of the hull, in the area shown.

Use a file or sandpaper to adjust the

shape of the strip until it fits flush

against the hull.
