cutter

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. frumi

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...

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...

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! Peter

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...

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...

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...

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...

I have received the kit a few days ago and I just finished cleaning the parts

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...

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...

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...

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...
