HMS ALERT 1777 by Qi Gang - Trident Model - 1/48 scale


Recommended Posts

First of all, thank you to MSW Forum for providing a platform for communication with ship model amateur. Trident is a model studio established in 2018. The main idea for our development of the Alert is to let more model amateurs experience the fun of using drawings to make a ship model, and clearly understand the composition of each part of the hull during production. We will do our best to restore the structure of the original hull. Amateur can add cabins, masts and other structures yourself during the production process. As it is the first product, there are still many shortcomings. We appreciate for any comments and advices. Following set of photographs was taken during the development process. The material was not finely grounded and surface-treated. It was only used for structural verification, so it looked very rough. 95% of the parts in the kit are CNC machined, and I personally think that many original processing methods and designs are unique. The parts appearing in the photos below are the basic accessories in the set, and the metal parts are still being modified in the fifth edition, which will be shown later. In the later stage, we may provide 1:1 drawings of the hull compartment and mast of this kit for friends who have the need for modification. The Alert is our studio primary kit, Very appreciate for your trust and support!The following production process is commissioned by Mr. QiGang.

Qi Gang is a ship model Cai enthusiast who was commissioned by us to test. The version he tested is the official version, basically with KIT. He may add some details that he likes, I will point out in particular. In our five stages, we commissioned five enthusiasts to test and show you the two most representative systems.

Hello, everybody. Today, the winch assembly has been verified. It was originally a part cut by laser, but it was found that grinding is very difficult and the parts are very small. The processing technology has been improved. Laser and CNC are used to process. As you can see in the photos, we have pre-processed the angle and assembled it conveniently. We have changed the metal parts into wood parts for the pump assembly. You can see in the photos.

I think there is a definite gap in the market for this type of fully framed model, definitely would also be interested in learning more as this comes to market.

Cheers,

Thank you for your attention. We are still trying various ways to restore the original structure to the maximum extent possible.
