After waiting 7 weeks it kit finally arrived. I had a few hours to get started. The pics shows where i am to date. I went way “overboard” planking the lower deck which is only seen by looking down the main hatchway. I tried the way i will weather the remaining decks. Let me know what you think...

Although second planking is already over and done with, I have decided to start a build log on HM Bark Endeavour by Occre. This is only my second build, the first one being HMS Endurance, also by Occre. The difficulty of this kit is listed as 'high' whereas Endurance is listed as 'medium'. My...
I started this build of the Endeavour approximately 12 years ago when the Eaglemoss part work was published - so this log is really playing catchup since I still yet to complete the model - I am currently at the rigging stage. This is my first wooden ship kit, in the past I have built plastic...

I found another kit under the Christmas tree. I'm going to try to level up more than I did with the HMS Beagle kit. It is a challenge for me and I already know that I will make some parts myself and replace them. I have read several threads on this server and on the damned and criticized MSW...
A few years ago, a friend gave me a set of plans to build a 17 foot cendar kayak. Althougt l'm a pretty good wood worker, I'm not about to build a full size kayak. Especially not with the price of lumber these days. Besides, you kinda need a lake or a river to use one which I don't. So the...
Hi all, as a newbie to this group, following my introduction comments a few folk requested that I post a build log for the Endeavour by Occre. The Endeavour is a 1:54 scale model of Captain Cook's ship, model length 815mm, height 680mm and width 300mm. I bought the kit from Cornwall Model Boats...
Good afternoon.
Although this is not my first ship build, I hope for it to be the best one yet. I have attempted to build several kits but I have only completed one so far. I would usually quit once I got to the sails.
There won't be much in the way of pictures here unless they are requested of...

After watching so many videos and trying to gather as much info as possible, This will be my first wooden kit in the shape of...
Hello I'm Dirk and I'm building the HMS Endeavour from Artesania Latina.

Hi to all. Keep safe in theses difficult times.
As promised the first images of the build log. This is my first attempt at building a model of an historic ship. My wife bought me the kit after I had discussed with her about starting a new hobby and venturing into the world of ships. My build of...
