SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Gently smooth over the hull with

a sanding block to remove any

unevenness from the surface.

Use sandpaper to smooth the curved

areas. Make sure you sand in the

direction of the planks.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Soak a 2 x 4mm wooden strip in warm

water to soften it. Remove from the

water and tap with the flat point of a

hammer or similar to indent one side

of the strip. This will cause it to curl.

A fine-grained abrasive sponge can be

very useful. These sponges will adapt to

the shape of the hull.

Hold the strip up against the bow, as

shown on the right, to check the shape,

and adjust if necessary.

283

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Continue aft of the first strip, gluing

another 2 x 4mm strip in line with it.

Once the strip fits properly around the

hull at the bow, apply superglue to the

strip and fix into position.

Glue a third strip aft of the one in the

previous step. When dry, cut the part of

the strip that passes beyond the stern.

284

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

When the second row of strips has

dried, glue another three strips below it,

and then cut away the excess.

Repeat Steps D-H to place another

three 2 x 4mm wooden strips directly

underneath the first strips.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

285

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue another two rows of 2 x 4mm

wooden strip to the side of the hull.

At the bow, the strips should sit at the

angle shown in the inset.

Cut and file the ends of the strips at

the bow so that they are in line with the

front edge.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut away the planks that cover the

cut-out at the stern on both side of

the model.

Cut off any excess of the strips at the

stern, and file smooth.

Shape a 2 x 4mm wooden strip in the

same way as on page 282, to fit around

the bow below the first three rows.

Glue into place.

287

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

As with the three rows above, glue

a further two rows below the one

completed in the previous step.

Glue two more strips aft of the first and

cut off the excess when dry.

When you trim the excess from the

strips at the stern, make sure that they

match the curve of the planks.

288

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Smooth along the rows to remove any

unevenness between the strips.

The bow of your model should now

look like this. Check that no strips are

blocking the area where the stem will

be placed.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

289

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Assemble the grating pieces as before.

Position a cannon through the first gun

port hole at the bow. Place an offcut

of 2 x 4mm wooden strip next to the

cannon and then place a piece of 5 x

5mm wooden strip on top of it. Hold

the wooden strips in place and mark

a line around the end of the 5 x 5mm

strip. Look at the next step to clarify.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Open the hole up to the edges of the

square with a knife or file.

Remove the wooden strips and the

cannon and make a hole in the centre

of the square marked in the previous

step.

Insert the 5 x 5mm wooden strip into

the hole to check that it fits properly. It

should be parallel to the deck.

291

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Using a file or sanding block, smooth

the bowsprit deck flat.

This is what the strip and hole should

look like from the outside. Repeat this

to create a hole for the cathead on the

other side of the model.

Glue short lengths of spare planks to

the curved side of the latrines received

in Stage 71. When glued in place, cut

off any that extend past the ends.

292

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue into place on the bowsprit

deck, aligning the sides with the two

highlighted edges of the holes in the

strip above. Repeat this process to

prepare and fix the second piece to the

other side of the deck.

Glue thin brown wooden strips onto

one of the semi-circular ends. Cut off

the overlapping parts when dry and

then smooth all surfaces with a file or

sandpaper.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

293

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Paint the hinges of the doors,

received in the previous stage (73),

with gold paint.

Glue the two doors in place on the

bowsprit deck, as shown.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue the eyebolts into the holes of

the doors, with the loop positioned

vertically and the rings hanging down,

as shown.

Retrieve two rings and two eyebolts

from previous stages and loop one ring

through each eyebolt.

Place a gun port frame in the first gun

port (arrow), aft of the one with an

open top. With a knife, score a line

along the top of the frame, then remove

the frame, place it into the next gun

port and continue the line. Repeat this

process until you reach the stern.

295

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut the strips so that they are in line

with the tops of the gunwales.

Repeat this (Steps E-G) for the other

side of the model.

Glue a row of thin brown wooden strips

along the line scored in the previous

step. Then glue more strips above them

until the sides are covered.

Shape a 2 x 4mm strip to fit around

the bow, positioned 1.5mm below the

lowest gun deck. Glue into place when

you have the correct fit.

296

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Cut the end of the strip so that it is in

line with the horizontal strips below the

transom.

Add another strip in the middle section

of the hull. Then shape another strip

to fit aft of the middle strip and around

the stern.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

297

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Shape another 2 x 4mm strip to fit

around the bow, below the row placed

at the end of the previous stage.

Glue the strip in place up against the

previous row.

Shape a third strip to complete the row.

Repeat this process so there are two

rows on both sides of the hull.

Glue another strip aft of the first. Make

sure that it is flush with the one above.

Cut two 50mm lengths of 5 x 5mm

wooden strip.

50mm

299

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Sand the end of the 50mm strip on the

side opposite of the two 20mm strips.

The sanded part should be 20mm long,

with only 1mm of the 5 x 5mm strip

remaining, as shown. Repeat for the

second strip.

Cut two 20mm lengths of 2 x 2mm

strips and glue at one end of one of the

50 x 5 x 5mm strips. Then repeat for

the other 50mm strip.

Drill four 1mm-wide holes in the ends

of the 50mm lengths, as shown.

Insert the catheads into the holes to

check the fit. Adjust the holes cut on

page 290, if necessary. Do not glue

them into place yet.

Smooth the surface of the catheads

with sandpaper, and then, with the

tip of a file or knife, create grooves

between the two sets of holes, as

shown in the photo.

The photo shows how the assembly

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.
