Smooth the surfaces of the steps with sandpaper. D Temporarily place the gun port frames without glue (arrows), then glue the steps up the side of the hull, as shown. Repeat for the other side. E Remove the gun port frames from the ports, then paint the outside of the hull with the same stain you have used on the rest of the model. 622 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ F Paint the raised strakes black, as shown. G Cut four 38mm lengths of 3 x 3mm wooden strip, and glue them into the holes fore and aft of the mast support. H Ø 1mm Cut two 25mm lengths of 2 x 4mm wooden strip; these will become the pin rails. Cut away two 1 x 3mm sections to fit around the pieces cut in the previous 2 x 4 x 25mm step, then drill four 1mm holes in the middle of the two strips. Sand the two pin rails smooth, then glue them fore and aft of the uprights. 623 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ I Retrieve the rail from Stage 121 and sand it smooth. Glue three columns (Stage 89) to the rail, one in the centre and one at either end (inset). Then glue another two in between them, as shown. J Stain the rail and columns, and then glue them at the edge of the deck. Glue belaying pins into the holes in the pin rails (arrowed). K The photo shows how the assembly should look at this stage. Keep any left- over material, as it will be used later. 624 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ Your parts Stage 157 Rigging plan 31. Footropes B 16-31-39-46 H. 5mm deadeyes 39.

Glue these and the yard slings into place on the yard, according to the positions shown on the plan. 25 27 625 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ 44 C 41 36 Attach the rest of the parts and rigging 25 to the four yards. D Attach the mainsail yard to the mainmast, at the location indicated 25 on the plan. E 24 Fit the rest of the yards to the mast. Glue the truck (24) to the top of the mast. 24 626 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ F Glue the ballast onto the floor of the hold, making sure that it doesn’t block the mast cap. Then distribute the barrels and blocks prepared in Stage 87 over the decks and hold, as shown. G Glue the gun port frames into place on both sides of the hull. H Tie six double blocks to six eyebolts, and secure three to each side of the mast support. Drill a shallow hole either side of the gun ports and glue an eyebolt into each one. 627 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ I Retrieve the two sets of ladder sides, received in previous stages. Cut 14 10mm lengths of 1 x 4mm wooden strip and glue them between two ladder sides, as with previous ladders. Glue the two assembled ladders into the positions indicated by the arrows. J Secure one 4mm (blue arrow) and four 5mm deadeyes (red arrows) to the chainwale with 0.5mm wire. Hook the wire through the end links of lengths of chain, and hammer the chain into place on the strakes. K The photo shows how the assembly should look at this stage.

B Glue the cannons onto the decks, centring the ends in the open gun ports. Place the large cannons onto the lower two decks, the medium cannons on the second deck and the smallest cannons on the top deck. 629 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ C Pass the 0.5mm brown thread through the end of the cannon. Secure the ends of the thread to the eyebolts on the either side of the gun port. Leave them with a bit of slack, as shown on the cannon on the left. D Repeat Step C for the cannons on the other side of the deck. E Create four coils of 1.5mm brown thread and glue them to the decks and in the hold at the points indicated by the arrows. 630 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ F For more detailed instructions on how to complete the rigging, follow the steps in the main build (Stage 150 onwards). Insert the mast through the holes in 49 the decks and secure it to the mast step with glue. Create the lanyards (47), the shrouds (46) and ratlines (48), following the cross-section rigging plan. Then prepare and attach the futtock shrouds (49). 48 G 50 Prepare the topmast shrouds (50). 47 Secure the first topmast shroud to the deadeyes of the futtock shrouds with a lanyard (47). 49 H 50 Secure the rest of the topmast shrouds (50) to the futtock shrouds with lanyards (47). 47 631 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ I Prepare and attach the ratlines (51) to the topmast shrouds. 51 J Prepare the topgallant mast shrouds (52) following the plan, and fix 52 them in place.

Make sure the 66 free ends of the lifts are positioned aft 66 of the yards. D This photo shows the mast with all of the yard lifts rigged. E Secure the free ends of the lifts to the points indicated in figure C on the rigging plan. 634 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ F Place the earrings (loops in the top corners of the sail) of the mainsail (270) over the ends of the main yard. 270 G Centre the sail so that the yard protrudes equally on both sides. 270 H Secure the sail to the yard with the ropeband (68), and fix the ends with a knot and a little glue. 635 SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™ I Here you can see the sail secured to the yard with the ropeband. J C Remove the loops from the clews (bottom corners) of the mainsail and attach three C blocks, as shown here C and in figures B and C of the plan.
