Trident Model - New kit design Cutter HMS ALERT 1777 - POF in scale 1:48 - by TRIDENT MODELS

So a lot of additional kits were sold and posted in the last weeks -
I hope to see some more building logs in our group build area of the ALERT.
If you started your work on the Alert, please do not hesitate also to start a building log showing your work - it would be great
 
To everyone building this model and looking to go beyond the instructions—whether by adding planking or fully rigging it with sails—I’ve spent a month researching the rigging and have compiled a detailed guide on how to make it.

I have also scaled the anatomy drawings to their true 1:48 size and formatted everything onto A0 sheets. Additionally, I’ve scaled the hull, deck details, boats, and other elements in the same way, so you can print them and have accurate real-time dimensions at hand.

I’m attaching sample images here, and you can follow the link to my post where you can download the full originals from Google Drive. Hopefully, this will save someone a lot of time!

@serikoff, The HMS Alert is very likely my next build... thanks, in part, to your wonderful build log and the plans above. Thanks a lot for your efforts. This is beyond useful!!
I'm really glad you enjoyed my build review. Yes, the model is very good, good luck with your next build. If you have any questions, please contact me.
