LFNokia Posted June 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2019 The time has come to start a new project, while building Robert E Lee i've purchased the Santissima Trinidad from Occre, Occre sells the full kit and the kit divided in 6 packs, wich is what i have aqquired. I also got the Santissima Trinidad cross section kit that i intend to display together at the end and that i will include on this build log. At the moment the idea/goal is to make it heavy weathered, painted, and copper the hull, although plans are always subject to change, and i did considered several other approaches, this is at the moment the plan. As for the kit itself, the quality of the materials is overall good, but we all know that it is lacking in certain aspects, particularly the stern is really quite bad, and overall, it lacks details/decorations, as i go i'll try to adress some of this and hopefully improve on the kit a bit I've also decided to try something new, and i will try to make videos of the construction, here is my 1st attempt Unboxing packs 1 and 2 Hope you enjoy and give me some time to improve my video editing skills Hope you join me on this journey (loooooong journey) Old Collingwood, coxswain, Duanelaker and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxswain Posted June 19, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2019 You've taken on three big jobs there, LF, I applaud your work ethic! Your video looks great, BTW - thanks for taking the time to share all this, and I agree with your assessment of the kits. Steve M.

md1400cs Posted June 20, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) LF, Nice variation for a build log. Will follow as well. I'm using the instructions for the cross section that are included in the full ship kit for my cross section of same. There are more details added to your kit for the cross-section bit that are available with just cross-section instruction booklet (odd?) I'm also tempted to buy the full kit and attempting it later. Those would be a great side-by-side -- I have also read the the stern section is not too good. Other builders have done some great "fixes" to that area. You might want to look around at other build logs as well when you get into that area. Good luck with this one.

LFNokia Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share #16 Posted July 16, 2019 It's a bit more work, but it's not harder, just a few more steps just remmber to test before, saves you some wood, and saves you a lot of sanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyGene Posted July 26, 2019 Share #17 Posted July 26, 2019 Looking good my friend. Your videos put a new spin on a build thread. For some reason I am amore w/this vessel. I am as all, am a fan of the famous HMS Victory and have a kit tucked away. But I also like the lines of a Man of War and this vessel happens to be one at the top of the food chain. Looking forward too more of your build. Rick Quote Neophyte Shipwright Wisdom: When all else fails, read the instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFNokia Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share #18 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) So, i'm still alive had some issues with the phone and didn't like the footage on the replacement phone then i decided i needed a new work bench... wich somehow led to me remodeling, repainting, re-furnituring the whole floor with all that out of the way, here's a update video, assembling the gunports, all this was done a few months ago i still have footage fo a couple more videos that i will be trying to edit soon and sorry for the lack of pictures...

LFNokia Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share #19 Posted December 4, 2019 i dry fit some stuff before, these honestly are poorly made by occre, i don't understand why they don't end on the ribs, how hard it would have been to make all those end on top of the ribs instead of just hanging between ribs...

LFNokia Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted December 30, 2019 Here is the current status of the project Can anyone tell me if coppering of the hull goes a bit higher than the water line or should go up to the 1st wale? coxswain and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted December 30, 2019 Share #22 Posted December 30, 2019 Usually just above the waterline. You should see this straight line indicated in your plans although i have never seen these particular plans. Try looking at some photos of victory as its a similar type hull.
