Retrieve the second railing strip

received with Stage 64 and place

it between the gunwales above the

first. Pass the columns through the

second railing strip and down into the

first. Adjust the fit if necessary. The

columns should be vertical and aligned

with each other.

Separate the columns at the ends of the

5mm sections with a saw, so they look

like the ones shown. Smooth the sides

with sandpaper.

Once satisfied with the position of the

railing and columns, apply superglue to

the contact points of all the pieces.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Retrieve the rudder and the hinges

stored in previous stages. Place a hinge

over the rudder blade, in the position

shown in the photo. Drill holes in the

rudder, through the holes in the hinge,

using a 1mm bit.

With a sanding block, remove the

fronts of the two gunwales (red lines) so

that they are flush with the front of the

railing strip.

Cut some nails so they are about half

the width of the rudder. Then, apply

glue to the tip of each nail and hammer

them into the holes in the hinge to

secure it to the rudder.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

This photo shows the position of

the rudder, which will be fitted in a

later stage.

Continue along the rudder, repeating

Steps G and H to fit the rest of the

hinges. As you can see, you will need to

adjust the length of some of the hinges

to fit.

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 ™

To prepare the gun ports for the

frames, place one of the frames over

one of the port, as shown, and mark

the width and height of the frame onto

the strake above.

Remove the frame from the port

and cut away the area marked in the

previous step. Look at Steps C and D

before you begin.

Test-fit a frame over each of the ports

to check that they fit.

Repeat this process to prepare the

bottom three rows of ports.

Glue a 2 x 2 x 300mm strip below the

gunwale, as shown. Before gluing, look

at the next step.

327

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Mark 18 lines on a 4 x 4mm strip at

intervals of 5mm. Cut into the strip at

each line, as shown in the photo.

Before the glue sets, position the end

of the strip so that it is in line with the

hole in front of the transom.

Make the same indention on the three

other sides of the strip. Finish the cuts

with a file.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue nine along the tops of the

gunwales at the bow, spacing them

apart evenly and centred.

Separate each of the 18 pieces

from the strip. Smooth the cuts

with sandpaper.

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

over material, as it will be used later.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Go over the hull with some sandpaper

to smooth and remove any remaining

splinters or rough areas.

Paint over the hull with a colourless

varnish, which should enhance the look

of the wood, as well as protect it.

Apply the varnish by brushing it in the

same directions as the wood.

Your model should now be ready to

be painted.

Smooth over the surface of the hull

again to take back the level of varnish.

Wipe away the dust created. Apply

another coat of varnish to the hull and

allow to dry. Repeat this process four

or five times until you achieve a good

finish. If you want to bring down the

level of shine, use a fine grit sandpaper

and lightly smooth the surface.

To give an appearance of depth to the

gun ports, paint them black.

331

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

The painted ship will now look like

this. Paint the other side of the hull the

same way.

To give more contrast to the hull,

paint the strakes with black as well. Be

careful when doing this, so as not to get

paint on the rest of the hull.

Test-fit gun port frames along the top

row of gun ports. Adjust each gun port

if necessary so the frames fit, and then

glue them into place.

332

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Glue the gun port frames into the ports

along the row second from the top.

Collect all the hinged gun ports and

doors from the previous stages. Fit

the projection at the top of the doors

between those at the top of the frames

and secure with superglue. Paint the

inside of the doors with red paint and

leave to dry.

should look at this stage. Keep any left-

Apply glue to the wider end of the mast

collar and place it centred over the

the handrail on top of them in the

orientation shown.

Cut two 28mm lengths and one 19mm

length from a spare 1 x 4mm strip.

Glue the two 28mm lengths at either

end of the 19mm length, as shown.

Repeat Steps B-D to mount the railing

to the hatch in front. Glue a small bead

Mark 10 15mm sections on a 3 x 3mm

strip and cut a 2mm wide by 1mm deep

notch 10mm in from one end.

Smooth the lengths made in this and

the previous steps

To make the pin rails, take a 2 x 4mm

wooden strip and mark five sections

25mm in length. Then cut two notches,

3mm wide and 2mm deep, out of the

25mm length, 5mm in from either end.

Mark five evenly spaced points between

the notches on the 2 x 4mm wooden

strips and drill a hole at each point with

a 1mm bit.
