HMS ALERT has become a hot ship recently because of the new POF model launched by Trident Model.
I'd like to present everyone the kit review of HMS ALERT 1777 SHIPYARD, which is the last one of 4 shipyard laser cardboard kit reviews.

Details coming soon and I'm also busy working on the summary of these 4 kits (HMS MERCURY/HMS WOLF/LE Coureur/HMS ALERT)!
I'm so glad to share Photos Informations and Views with everyone.
 
I built this one. Replaced the printed deck with wood planking and replaced all the dead eyes and blocks with one ones. Very well designed and engineered. You need to deal with VERYsmall parts and assemblies and you can’t sand anything because it’s paper.
I’m now working on HMS Wolfe which is far more complicated. I just which it was in a larger scale like 1/64.

Yes, cardmodel is in scale 1/96. Lasercut set series of products are in 1/72.
Maybe the manufacturer think Cardboard materials can not build model in larger scale beacuse they are too soft and flexible.
 
If you can't sand it, how do you fair the frames?
No need to fair the frames. Everything fits exactly the way it should. You will find a kit review on this site of either the 1/72 Alert or the Wolfe (maybe both?) One of the reviews shows all or most of the pages from the instruction booklet. That should illustrate how the kit is built. It’s pretty cool.
 
Still waiting on the alert kit. Meanwhile, stocking up on #12 and # 11 blades. Does anyone remember Le Pages glue? It used to come with a rubber top and was fairly easy to apply.

I’ve just got to the stage of making the mast, I’m using the template to get the length, but is it too long ?

it is depending how long it is ?
Maybe we can check the correct lengths of the mast elements with the Anatomy book series drawings to get the correct meassures
