Background
My name is Sergey, but in the ship modeling community, I’m known by the nickname serikoff.
Currently, I have an unfinished project, HMS Victory, which I started in 2009 (although the project was on hold for ten years). My plan is to bring the model to the stage of a partially...
HM Sloop of War Cutter Alert (1777) - Vanguard Models 1/64
Sloop? Where did I get that from? It's a cutter.
Ahoy there, my friends and fellow modellers! Welcome to my build log of Vanguard Models' excellent kit of Alert (1777). I'm sorry that you have already missed approximately half of the...
Hello,
Welcome to my admittedly redundant build of HMS Alert. It's great to have a sophisticated kit to build as we go into the holiday season.
A couple of years ago, all the cool kids were buying HMS Alert 1777 kits from Trident through Ships of Scale. So of course I joined in. Then I...
Hello everyone, my friends! After completing the la belle, I also completed the Alert. Thanks for the perfect design of the Trident Model. It is my second ship, and I hope to complete the next one more perfectly. Cheers

Hi everybody. I have now begun my build of this great 1:48 scale POF kit by Trident Model, HMS Alert. l ordered the kit in the middle of January and it arrived safetly here in Spain 4 weeks later. (2 weeks delay due to the Chinese New Year holiday) with no problems at all, everything tightly...
I found some time to get started on my first kit: HM Cutter Alert by Vanguard. I am not new to model building; however, the wooden ships have always been a lofty an intimidating goal I never thought I would work my way up to until recently. Time to dive in headfirst.
Let me just say this would...
Received this kit in the mail recently and was so impressed with the instruction manual I thought I would begin with it.
The manual is a 55-page wire wound color illustrated booklet.
The booklet measures 17" x 12" of heavyweight paper with excellent color illustrations.
One of the most...
Hello guys, I just finished Essex. I couldn't share the finished version because I haven't photographed it yet. I will share as soon as possible.
I have started my new project, HM Cutter Alert 1777. I used Vanguard's kit plan for cutting the bulkhead former and bulkheads. Since I chose a...
I have started my build of the Triden HMS Alert kit.
The keel and jig are build.
I lost some pictures. So here are current status. Ribs from 4 to 10 are glued, rest are dry fitted
I finally started with the Trident kit, so this will be the start of my build log.
I started building the berth 4 days ago.
Let me start this with a little "rant":
As we all probably do, I really hate the laser char on the MDF. It smells bad and with the constantly black fingers you smear the...
Hi all,
My ship came in on August 26th. I immedately started work on it, and so far, here is what it looks like:
I wish to express that the kit is exceptionally well engineered, I'm actually thinking about buying a second one. Thanks to all at Trident Model for doing an excellent job!

Hi All,
I received the kit last monday, after waiting for long time my turn (I added to the list on Oct, 15 2020), the shipment was very fast at least, it took just 1 week from China to italy.
This is my first POF, so I am 100% sura I will need yuor help.
I spent these weeks reading the KIT...
A few weeks ago, parallel to building the TridentModel "Alert", I started building the smaller version of VanguardModels in 1:64.
At that time I had the kit for quite a while, according to Chris Watton I was the first to order it.
I have that in writing ;)
Anyway, the kit lay around for a...
The Shipyard HMS Alert, in scale 1/72, just arrived from Ages of Sail, kit # ZL:001.
It looks like the only item that wasn't included was the glue. Everything else was, rigging lines, cannons, blocks, paint brushes and paints you name it...even directions!
I have on hand some Gorilla glue and...
Evening I'm not very good with computers, this is the first log I've tried to do. Other craftsmen's logs explain and show much better than I can ever do. So I will just show you some pictures of where I'm up to with this very enjoyable model. Got to say a big thank you to all the other guys...

Hello, I forward the "Quick Run" alert "Quick Run" in it. Now I will post some pictures during the production process, I hope it will be helpful to you. I don't understand English, so I can only use translation...
Hello, I am writing from Germany.
what can I say?
After a rich week my kit arrived here well packed in an undamaged box.
I use DeepL for translation, and without wanting to advertise, I think it works well.
More information and a real start of construction will be available in the next days...
Here is the start of my buildlog for the Trident Model HMS Alert.
It seems i'm one of the lucky ones that received an Alert before the DHgate shutdown threw a spanner in the works.
The kit got delivered by Fedex, took 4 days from China to SA, then the local Fedex managed to bungle it up for...
