Navío de primera línea Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad

Hello everyone;)
I have decided to show the progress of this OcCre kit. It is a ship already known by all of you and there are already very good works in this forum. Therefore, it will not be a strict step-by-step process, but rather it will show progress and improvements that it can contribute.

According to OcCre the ST had gratings on the poop but that location makes no sense, below were the officers' quarters, the chapel and the captain's quarters. I thought of putting a skylight like the Victory but it is documented that no Spanish ship carried it. What I will place are the cabinets for the signal flags.

Hello everyone! These photos are from today. lining the dead work that will be painted with red and black stripes as described in the battle of Trafalgar. Although in the live work it probably had copper plates, I will paint it a dirty white.

It is possible that some terms are not translated correctly :rolleyes:

Regards;)

piano piano si va lontano ;)

The boards of the forward bulkhead where the bowsprit starts, in the kit come vertically, when they should go horizontally.
I have penciled where the doors go, but the size and shape are not yet final.

According to the kit instructions, you have to make an infinite number of wedges to finish closing the hull. I do not like this method and I have tried to adjust the tables as I have seen in higher quality works.


Cheers

Very nice work on your ST. I agree the hull is not an easy planking task. It seems as though you have it well under control. I know the version of the kit I had did not include the copper plates. Do you plan on finishing the hull in copper or wood? If wood, could I suggest it be mapped with battens, bands and map out the runs. It is so much easier to take little bites and manage those, rather than look at the entire hull as a single task of work. It can be overwhelming. Well it affected me that way. ROTF

Great job Lorenzo!

Cheers,
Ken

Hi Ken. I will paint the hull of the ship in a dirty white. Above the waterline as described at the Battle of Trafalgar, with red and black stripes. I would surely go with the copper plates but my son wants the hull in white.

Cheers

Good morning Lorenzo. Lovely. I see you have some other models around your work shop and desk - you know what you are doing. I love the time capsule with some personal effects. That is such a cool idea. Planking is great. Cheers Grant
 
Is it correct to name the submerged part of the hull and the part that is not, live work and dead work?
If not, how is it in English?
And the reinforcement tables that go between the lines of cannons?


Cheers
