I just finished building the Buccaneer by Occre and during the build I was really wishing that I had a plank bender. The 'soldering iron' kind. So I started googling around and didn't really want to spend the ~$40 the retailers want for it. I ended up on Ebay and noticed that...
Got started on my 2nd build, the OCCRE Albatros. I'm hoping to lean from my (many) mistakes on my 1st build of OCCRE's Polaris. :)

Going to line out the planking (still deciding on a pattern) this week...
I hope everyone is well!
I am actually about a week and a half late starting this thread.What a difference when you buy a quality model I am really enjoying this build.Here are some pictures of my progress so far,all constructive criticism is more then welcome.
The Albatros is my first build, and man I've learned a lot by doing! I was excited to start this hobby last year. I'm starting this build log a little over half way through the build, but here it is anyway. Happy to be here, I'll keep posting.
I received the Albatros as a gift over 4 years ago and didn’t have time or commitment to start it. With my recent retirement I have the time and the desire to get back to modeling. I started with a Revell Constitution, 1/96 Scale. It was a significant effort over 4 months but I learned a lot...
