I just post some pictures so you can see what I mean. Everything I try was not working. So I have send OcCre this morning an E-mail with the same pictures. I'm curious what they are saying about this. But I think it's gonna be the best way to go to the store and see if I can find some wood of 5 mm thickness. Then I have to scratch a new keel. But I will make that then in one piece and not two. But first I will wait for an answer from OcCre. Sjors

Thanks for the answer mtdoramike, I will see what I will do. Still time to think things over. @Jörgen, You are more then welcome . And there is plenty of space left on the first row. Sjors

Story continues..... Everything is dry drift to see how it goes. At the pictures you can see that there is a warped keel/frame/bulkhead. I put clamps on it to see if I can get it straight. When I glue the frames/bulkheads ,maybe I can keep it straight. I know that the glue I'm using are very strong when it is dry. What do you think. Sjors

I have moved the clamps and place the re-enforcements to put the false keel together. That is drying and I hope that I have a straight false keel. If not, I have to see what I'm doing. In the mean while I'll be starting to make the barge's. Then I have to do something ! Sjors
-
I have done something The front false keel is still under the clamps. Also frame nr 8 So I place the back of the false keel. There is a beginning ! ( and in the back you see the Nuestra Sēnora del Pilar from Anja ) Sjors

Hoi Elijah and Ken, @ Elijah, Yes I know ,I should take a picture. Now it is under a big plank and clamps. I will take a look tomorrow how it looks otherwise I will scratch a new one. @ Ken, It's not that difficult. When the glue or paint is drying, I can switch to the other one. It's not the first time that I'll be doing this. Sjors

Hello all, The Santísima Trinídad was built in Havana and launched on 2nd March 1769. It was the biggest warship of the 18th century, with 130 guns. After taking part in the naval campaigns of the late 18th and early 19th century, it last saw active service at the battle of Trafalgar, under the ensign of rear admiral Cisneros, where it was dismasted by the English fleet. Measurements: Length : 1060 mm Heigth : 876 mm Width : 415 mm Click here for more information about the Spanish ship Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad. I already cleared the workspace to make room for her. But alas, one piece of the keel and one frame were warped. The keel was so terribly warped, and I was so surprised by the look of it, that I totally forgot to take a picture. Sorry Enjoy, Sjors

Thanks all . @Anton, I forget you I hope that Uises can now make a decision. @Bob, Thanks @Popeye, No worries, she don't go into the closet. When i do that i think that Anja will .....me 😩 Sjors

Thanks Ulises, The main reason to choose for DeAgostini is because I could do it by prats work. Every month I receive 4 magazines with building materials. Nice reading things and I could spread out the money. It's gonna be more expensive then when you pay at once for the kit but that was my decision. Should I do it again? No! Reason?..... The material ( wood ) is bad sometimes. Change a lot of wood. Bamboo for the planking is not that beautiful. And because you are receiving each month something you have to follow there way of building. It is difficult to look forward. I have almost all the magazines and find out that I still need decorations to paint and placed when the shrouds are all reading attach at the ship. Even with the ratlines ! So I'm happy that I still painting and nothing has done at the masts and all that funny stuff. I know that another Dutch builder is building very soon at the SotS from Sergal. By the time he will started ( I hope this weekeind ) I shall ask him. Or watch for your self...... Sjors
