I bought a partly finished cross section of the Santisima Trinidad. It looks like it's the kit by OcCre. I don't have any materials or plans, so I'm winging it :-) I'm starting by redoing the shrouds, finishing the masts, and placing canon.

in the images below, the lower shrouds were done by the previous builder. They look nice. I attempted to use similar thread on the second level shrouds, and completely botched it. I'm replacing all the shrouds now. The third picture also shows two temporary ropes, holding the platform in place (it was broken).

Enjoy - I had done that same kit sometime back.

I was going to suggest that if you still had the plans, to photograph them... but did a search on the OcCre site and I think I've found pretty much everything the OP is going to need for proceeding.

I went to the OcCre site and accessed the .pdf of the instructions. After the text, it includes the full photo assembly images as well as detailed rigging plans and info on mast and spar building. Here's a link to it:

Thanks, I didn't even bother to look for instructions or drawings :-) Good hint, I'll look at it!
 
Exciting to follow this log. I myself have taken up the construction of a similar kit and am currently working on the blocks. Unfortunately I've misplaced the hull part, but it's somewhere in my messy hobby room. :)
That is an impressive amount of models that you have built in recent years.

ah, I found your build log. Nice, I'll follow it as well :-) Yeah, I have built a few models in recent years. I'm in a 'what shall I do with my career' phase, so I had a bit of spare time. My main focus the last two years has actually been making stained glass windows and Tiffany 'art work ' (for lack of a proper term). A lovely hobby as well!
 
Salut Martin, je vois que t'as pas mal avancé
A cette échelle et connaissant tes compétences, je pense que tu aurais pu détailler un peu plus les manœuvres des canons.
Bonne continuation.

Hi Bruno, yes I could add more detail to the canon. But I decided not to do that this time. I've made so many canon last year, that I didn't feel like it now. With each model, I decide what I want to learn. In this case, I wanted to try making the masts from scratch and making the white packets. Also, I ended up learning a bit about making the shrouds. It's a bit more fun for me to approach modeling in this way, otherwise I tend to get perfectionistic and I don't like that feeling.

Also, this will probably be my last model for a while. I also make stained-glass 'artwork' (Tiffany, to be precise) and I plan to work on that for a while.
 
Ok , c'est ton choix et je le respecte, étant moi même " multi carte " je conçois fort bien la chose, c'est pourquoi en ce moment mon R L est en stand bye car j'ai d'autres occupations.
