My interest in the Cutter Alert, 1777 began, as with many modelers who have built a model of the cutter, with the AotS volume "The Naval Cutter Alert, 1777" by Peter Goodwin. The book is now over 30 years old and, when preparing my project, I critically scrutinized the reconstruction presented...
Dear model makers, I´m new here, but now it´s time to show my interpretation of the kit. I prefer "original" painted surfaces. Many thanks to all the other kit builder for the good ideas to find detail solutions. The kit is very well engieered.

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
Hello dear friends
Today I started the new Alert project.
first I read some of the blogs, and they were very helpful.
In the first step I completed the numbering of the parts in two boards out of the five components of the jig, not numbered. after that I started in the first phase of the jig...
Hallo everybody, few days ago I received the Alert kit from Trident Models. Everything went quickly and without any problems. I'd like to thank the administrators UweK, Zoly99sask and Jimsky for their help in ordering procedure, and of course Trident Model for the beautifull kit. I plan to build...
Yeah my kit came in after exactly 30 days shipping and customs. I had to pay €46,- for VAT and customs clearing but it is well worth it for a box full of goodies.
I will build it next to my RC and already have some ideas of what I will do with it. It won't be a straight out of the box build but...
Well, since I am participating so much from all of yours help in this great forum, I thought I’d share my bit back to it. I am no great photographer and have quite limited time to build, so this log won’t be a leading guide like others, but maybe my insights are still valuable for someone.
I...
Well here we are.. my kit arrived safe and sound and in a shorter time than I thought....I have spent every available moment checking it out...WOW!Is this the new face of model ship building?!!!!
So this is the start of my building log as promised...Be aware though, I am treating this project as...
This is going to be my build log for HMS Alert 1777… I hope
I have no experience with model building. This will be my very first try so I'm not making this log to show off or to get flattery and likes. My only motivation to make this log is to get critique and advises from which can learn and...
I’ve started a build log for Alert, although I must admit that my progress will depend on seeing the logs from more proficient modelers to help me out since the instructions are not if very much help so far. I have built Japanese models with no English at all but with detailed colored...
Great news, folks!! Today July 27th, 2020, I have purchased the Trident Model Alert kit! The purchase experience was pleasant, straight forward, without hiccups, and took about 3~5 minutes. With this great news, I am officially joining the Alert group build and starting my own build log.
When...

Trident Models is a very new chinese manufacturer (since 2018) and this model is the very first kit they produce on a...
Well I am setting up my build log for this kit, so I can start posting when my kit makes it in at some point down the line.
Can't wait to order and receive one, and hope I don't have too many vessels in the shipyard to be able to bring this one in when it gets in port.
