06MAY2025: Today, I finished the HMS Beagle wood kit from OcCree. What a great learning experience and wonderful project. I made mistakes and had to compromise in a few areas, but I have enjoyed the journey immensely and feel I am more prepared for the next project, the "Amerigo Vespucci"...

This is my first wood kit model and my first SOS Build log. I have thoroughly enjoyed building the HMS Beagle kit from OcCre. I have made my mistakes and compromises, but I knew that would be the case on this first project. I look forward to applying what I have learn to the next project...

This is my first wood kit model. I have built 3 large-scale plastic models. I rigged two of them full sail using my own sails made from muslin. I built my first in the early 1980s while stationed at USCG Station Castle Hill in Newport, RI. It is also where I fell in love with the tall ships...

I took the plunge and ordered my first ship model. Like many others on this site, I was attracted to this ship by its association with Darwin, and its career as a survey ship. I have been fascinated by the many build logs here and on Model Ship World. I'm attracted by the possibilities of...

This was by first attempt at model ship building. Found lots of great videos showing how to build it. Now attempting the Black Pearl.

Hey guys, I wanted to share and document my journey through my first build. After countless videos, messages, posts, articles, I purchased my first kit from OcCre and have now started. I am buying tools, etc. along the way and will comment on those as well. I appreciate any and all...

Well, Haven't had time to do any building as of late, have a sick Wife to take care of. Finally got some time and put my Occre Bounty Sloop aside and started on the Occre Beagle. Have always loved this ship and it's history and, as a bonus, there are some great build log videos online so...

After running into some very frustrating issues on the last project I started, I decided to put it on the shelf for now and try for something that felt a little more familiar: I had success with my first build with an OcCre kit (Polaris), so I felt pretty certain that another of theirs would...

This is my 3rd ship. It is the BEAGLE by occre. I also tried to implement some things from the anatomy of the ship book. With making it with the 7 life boats. And making the futtock lines with chains. I did some experimenting with making my own shackles and even bought a serving rig. That has...

So I've been building this now for almost 2 months now and I'll catch you up because my build has been on a different site.

Hi, this is my first kit, so far I have only built according to plans. I withdraw to avoid mistakes, I do them anyway and then I try to correct them.
