Santisima Trinidad OcCre kit #15800 build from 2004 to 2012
For the one that have kid
If you have read my post on the Hermione you know that it was build for my younger son that want one because is older brother got one.
What happen is this, when the older saw the ship he was not happy because as he said he got a small fishing boat and is brother a war ship with gun.
I know my boy so I told him to buy himself a model and I will build it, but knowing the boy I specified NOT A 3 DECKER the devil found the only 4 decker to ever have existed the Santisima Trinidad and I was stuck to build it. And of course to out play his brother he got the section and the captain launch.
So here are my adventure
The box is big and the content is
6 scale drawings
1 instruction booklet and
1 Color booklet in color with photo for each step
The wood is well package and all the small part are in plastic box.
the installation of the frame
the installation of the battens and small interior deck
the pose of the 2 crossbeam that will give the structure the rigidity necessary to the kit
All those step are done in a plywood of good quality of 4.5mm thicknes
2004 is the step I was at that moment but I will not work very much on the structure for now as I will build part on my cross section that are similar to the ship so in place of having to repeat the same part in the future I will make them in the same time as the one of the section.
There are 3 Santisima Trinidad
The OcCre version the (Altaya) version (I think not available anymore)
And DeAgostini still available for 899 British pound or 33 mounts at 30 British pound per mount (September 2018)
Altaya came in publication similar to what Hachette do weekly instalment a few part at the time the only difference between the 2 kit is mainly the hull frame
