Santisima Trinidad ship 1769-1805. 1:700 scale model for wargame sculpted by Henry Turner

I have had little time for the hobby in the last few weeks, but I have finally been able to get back into the swing of things and finish this model, the Santisima Trinidad ship (140 guns), 1769-1805. 1:700 scale model for wargame sculpted by Henry Turner.
I have chosen the color pattern that it had in 1797, so it should look in the battle of Cape St. Vincent in this guise.
As I mention in the video, I have taken advantage of the construction of this model to have footage for an upcoming video on rigging. I don't have a particularly efficient system, but I am proud that the results are very good, and some of you have asked me in the comments of other videos, so I owe it to you.
I want to thank www.todoababor.es for permission to use his images. It is a great page with a lot of information about the Age of Sail Spanish Armada.

I have a load of 1/700 Napoleonic ships in a crate - my wife bought me loads of them for a birthday and a Christmas. Been wracking my brains about how to paint and rig them. Gonna copy you, the block of wood idea is genius

[@MinisMyWay]

Normally on the wood piece I put a piece of silicone gel pad to hold the model, but on this one the print was not smooth enough on the underside and would not adhere, so I used the traditional Blu tack. I wish you fun with your boat collection!

Henry's awe-inspiring sculpt, enhanced by your masterful brushwork, all to the strains of Carmen? That's a real treat for any enthusiast of the Spanish navy!

Thank you very much! I love that you noticed the music.🎶🎶

A really great paint work on a small model, a pleasent video and an inspiration. All the best and give us some more!

[@MinisMyWay]

In summer it is hard for me to paint because of the heat, my projects pile up... but I don't stop the activity. Soon you will have more videos. Thank you very much for your comment, it is also inspiring for me. Very kind of you!

Lovely model, great 3D print. It just goes to show how good 3D printing has become.

[@MinisMyWay]

Right, the future is now. And this technology has just begun to change everything.

Most impressive details to paint...and wonderful work!!👍

I don't know how you plan to use the Santisima Trinidad in your wargaming, but it's a marvelous model and, between the painting and the rigging, you've done yourself proud. Excellent!!

[@MinisMyWay]

Sometimes I do things just because I feel like it, not because I need to... and it's always better to go into battle with a lot of guns, although in real life this ship didn't fare so well.

[@justMikec]

@@MinisMyWay Well, you weren't likely to go into battle with more firepower for more than a hundred years after Santisima Trinidad! I realize it didn't have a spectacular history, but man, I can't imagine being anywhere near her when the shooting started!

[@MinisMyWay]

@@justMikec True! Moreover, its interior was a real palace luxuriously decorated, so riding on it must have also been impressive even if it wasn't shooting at you.

[@danisnoopy1456]

Excellent very well done

Thank you!

Would like to know more about where you had the 3D prints made. Do you have any links you can share?

[@MinisMyWay]

My friend Teri, whose hands you have seen in some video because he is a playmate of the channel, bought a printer some time ago, I think it is an Anycubic Proton, and little by little he is learning the secrets of printing. I hope he stops by to answer. Many times I am tempted to buy my own printer, but Teri barely paints so he very kindly shares the results of his own hobby that 3D printing has become with his friends.

Did you solder the masts and yardarms?

[@MinisMyWay]

I do not use soldering iron, only cyanoacrylate. I have a couple of videos detailing the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfanJxrnbh4brc, and kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2Oaq2yCZbSGoMk Sometimes you have to repeat the gluing of some parts until you get it right, but once you have glued the crow's nest and primed the whole thing is surprisingly resistant to normal handling (in the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpm4aZqdaMuMp7c you can see how a player with no experience with miniature ships was moving them during the whole game holding them by the mainmast, and nothing broke). Everything is susceptible to being broken, but when a ship with a steel mast has fallen to the ground, I have found it very easy to glue some pieces back together, since only some joints come loose and no piece breaks, unlike lead, and more resin. If they were soldered, I think they would also come loose in the soldering, with the disadvantage of having to solder again with the figure already painted and the rigging on, although then cyanoacrylate could be used to fix it.

[@tumbleweed1970able]

when was she re painted red ?

[@MinisMyWay]

Probably during the refit after the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1787, where she was severely damaged and had to undergo major repairs. I recommend a look here:www.todoababor.es/historia/perfiles-del-navio-santisima-trinidad/ This page summarizes very well the scheme history of the ship.

[@alexanderrodriguezleistens3030]

Que color son los mástiles?

[@MinisMyWay]

Del mismo amarillo que las franjas laterales, 71.078 Gold Yellow sobre Lemon Yellow

[@tomasmartingiron4304]

donde se puede comprar el modelo ?

[@MinisMyWay]

Esta es la página de Henry Turner: www.turnerminiatures.co.uk/ donde tienes la lista de páginas que comercializan sus STL. Si quieres el modelo ya impreso, tendrás que ir a Shapeways o alguna empresa que tenga ese servicio: www.shapeways.com/product/C5DLJBWDR/spanish-1s-rate-santisima-trinidad-1769-1805?li=marketplace&optionId=300797570 Yo tengo la suerte de que nuestro amigo y compañero de partidas Teri es aficionado a la impresión 3D.
