endurance

This is the second installment of my Occre Endurance. I finished the planking, then applied a coat of Watco oil and air brushed the hull with Tamiya semi-gloss black. The white is also Tamiya. The stained pieces are dark walnut, not happy with the look. The white strips around the hull were...

This is the first post of this log, although I have been working on it since May of this year, I will send a few pics to show the status and try to keep it going, once I figure out how to post. I am now in the planking process, this is the second Occre build for me, the Endeavour was the...

Absolute day one of my relationship (no pun intended) with my new found passion for model ship building. I used corner brackets and clamps to keep square, and meticulously measured the height each side to within 0.5mm to try and minimize any possible future upsets

This is my first build log that I will be sharing with others. I have just completed the Niagara built from a Model Shipways kit. Took just under 5 years as I navigated COVID and other interests that got in the way. As a novice, this was probably not the best kit to choose as my initiation into...

hello, Kit in progress with modifications get from the books

Having received the OcCre kit of Shackleton's Endurance for Christmas I am keen to get started and wish to document my progress. I am aware of the excellent build logs of this kit already on this site and hope you don't mind putting up with another. I won't do a box opening or "what's in the...

Hello everyone, While I am getting ready for my first scratch build of the L'Amarante, I would like to start a build thread of the Endurance that I am building. I have admired Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition for a long time. What he and his men were able to endure was truly amazing...

And so it begins... I finally completed the Candelaria. Very proud that I found the patience and determination to finish it. Not proud of the detail and mistakes made through lack of experience but looking forward to doing better this time. I have started this log in the hope that you guys can...

This is my third build and hopefully will be better then my others.I think I learned a lot from the first 2 builds so am trying one with more challenge as always any suggestions or if you see a mistake please comment.Some pictures.

Hi all. I have started my next project (actually I started a few weeks age, but am just now starting a build log). I have selected the Endurance by OcCre. I chose this kit for a few reasons. 1. Reasonably priced 2. I wanted to try an OcCre kit 3. It is a historical exploration ship that will be...

This is the first ship I'm actually going to finish! There's been multiple attempts to start builds in the past. They never came to fruition. But now life has provided the time - So here we go, I'm really excited about this ship. I read the story in Nat'l Geographic when I was a kid. After...

My son is a big fan of the Shackelton expedition and he wanted a model of Endurance so that will be my next build. This is my first OcCre kit and so far i'm impressed. All the frame pieces fit well and only a little adjustment was needed. I applied sanding sealer, then sanded, and airbrushed the...
