Hms Alert by Maarten [COMPLETED BUILD]

On the very first post after checking box contents you mention "The additional items below are the interior which are not part of the default kit. The small strips are forming the bulk head beams, the other items the planks and doors." Can you help with how you came with these since not with basic kit?

Hi Will,

These interior items were added by Trident for the Ships of Scale version of the kit. You can see if you have the Ships of Scale version by checking the kits pewter cast name plate. On the back of this is the ships of scale logo.

Good Morning Maarten
I don't have the kit but am very interested to buy for my next project. One must always have something to look forward too.

Nothing more true than that.
You can check with @Trident Model if the interior addition is still part of the current kit.

I just got the info on how to buy. I'll ask if it is still part of the kit.
Thanks

Ypu won t regret this kit, it is a lot of fun and builds into a great model.

 

[Will @ Trilogy]

While waiting for the kit I will study your log along with others. I learned that I must read all the comments from others as sometimes it helps with the explanation and build.

Stunning model, brilliant execution idea. I even saved a few photos of your implementation for myself. Very unusual, just super!

Hi Serikov,
Many thx, looking forward to your implementation. It was a lot of fun to do so I can certainly recommend it.

Szép munka!
Tetszik hogy részletesen bemutatod a munkafolyamatokat, jó ötleteket lehet látni.
A Clouval kezelt felület nagyon jól néz ki! Rendeltem mert szeretném kipróbálni.
Én a Granadot építem 1:36 ban, körtefából. Küldök róla pár képet.
Üdvözlettel Gémes Attila

Nice job!
I like that you present the work processes in detail, you can see good ideas.
The surface treated with Clou looks great! I ordered it because I want to try it.
I am building the Granado in 1:36, from pear wood. I'll send some pictures of it.
Best regards, Attila Gémes

Your Granado looks great, very neat work. Especially the way you build up your hull I like. First the floors and than building up the hull from there.
Can you start a build log on your build? There will be interest in your build for sure.

Hallo Maarten!

Mijn complimenten met de prachtige "Alert". U bent een leraar en mentor! U bent een meester!

Maar ik heb een praktische en concrete vraag. Het gaat over bitumen, schellak en verf.
Waar kan ik die in Nederland kopen?

Ik heb ze al geprobeerd via Google te zoeken. Maar de zoekresultaten waren niet wat ik zocht.

Bedankt voor uw antwoord en ik kijk uit naar uw volgende blog.

En verder, prettige feestdagen iedereen!

Hello Maarten!

My compliments on the beautiful "Alert". You are a teacher and mentor! You are a master!

But I have a practical and concrete question. It is about bitumen, shellac and paint.
Where can I buy them in the Netherlands?

I have already tried to search for them via Google. But the search results were not what I was looking for.

Thanks for your answer and I look forward to your next blog.

And furthermore, happy holidays everyone!

Hi Bobby,

Many thx and glad you liked it, it is a fun model to build.

My current build is a reconstruction of a Dutch fluyt.

A Dutch Fluyt in shell first, reconstructing the "Ghost ship" scale 1:36

For a long time I already want to build a Dutch fluyt and had been looking for the best possible candidate. The shape of the fluyt is extraordenary and directly recognizable with its bollow stern, the Jelo of ships. It was the workhorse of the 17th century when the Dutch dominated shipping in...

There is no auto translator. Most people use Google translate or deepl.

Sorry sir Jbradford.
I wrote in the no English. I asked to Maartens where in the Netherlands to buy the varnishes indicated by Maarten. It's hard for me to find them here just like that.
