My first kit from OcCre and unboxing is pretty impressive. Best parts list I have had certainly a huge improvement on the Riva Aquarama. The plans are all in A3 size rather than full sheet and I think I like that. Much easier to lay parts on the 1:1 plan than when it is pinned to wall. Looking...

hello, Kit in progress with modifications get from the books

I am starting a build of the Whaling ship The Essex. First launched in Nantucket Massachusetts. After being built as a merchant ship in 1799 was refitted as a Whaler . 85 feet in length the ship was rammed by a Sperm Whale November 20, 1820. Initially the entire crew of 20 survived the attack...

Working on a new commision build. It's been about 4 months now, just finished up the masts.

Just claiming my little space to start my building journey. Awaiting my kit. I built a ship over 10 years ago. I finished it, but could have been my better. Had no idea about planking. More learning resources available these days, so I have high hopes. Between then and now I have experience...

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...

After a few days of recovering from the disar model Junco Chino (Chinese Junk) disaster, it's time to move forward. I received this kit as a holiday gift. Opening the kit, I was happy to see much better-written assembly instructions along with colour photos supporting the written instructions...

Good afternoon I am going to build a Xebec. Originally I was going to build the Jabeque Cazador from OcCre 1:60 scale, however as I will show I am going to change this up a little. The kit : As with most reasonably affordable kits there is nothing exotic about the Cazador from OcCre. When my...

Time to start a new one, occre was nice and sent me a San Ildefonso for me to build and weather here's the start

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...

I’m a bit late in starting a build log but, what the heck, here goes… I’m building the Cala Esmeralda from OcCre started this past August. once the deck was planked it was on to the bulwarks. Needed all my small clamps to bend them into position. I probably won’t do it that way again.

In choosing this build I decided to return to OcCre after excursions to Caldercraft, Corel and Korabel I like OcCre kits. They include generous quantities of good quality materials and fittings The instructions, in the form of coloured pictures of each stage of the build, are very easy to...

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...

Starting a build soon on the new Occre Flying Dutchman. Flying Dutchman Here is a great Scratch Build from a few years ago.

Starting my build tomorrow will post pictures soon!

I'm starting a new project while the preparation process is underway Я начинаю новый проект, пока идет процесс подготовки

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...

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...

20220529 Started the OcCre Calella a couple of weeks ago. Work on it has been slow as the day job has had me travelling. When looking for a next boat model, this one caught my eye. A colorful oar-powered fishing craft equipped with lights for attracting the catch-of-the-day. At 1:15 it is a...

This new project is coming ... Let me finish the YQ Bluenose first ... then I'll begin it!
