Hi Shipmates, Having finally completed my Occre Endeavour build, 2024 brings in a New Year and a new challenge, the Occre Endurance. I had seen a number of great build logs on SOS of Endurance which attracted me to this model. I purchased it back in Feb 2023 from Cornwall Model Boats (UK)...

Hi all. not a new builder but am confused. I am building the HMS Endeavour from Occre great model but the rigging instructions leaves a lot to be desired i seem to be lost on the bow. part J17 seems to go to cleats on one plan but another shows it going to block and tackle, placed i have no...

Hi all, I live in the Netherlans and I am new to building wooden ship models. In te past however, I have done many other model builds. This year I started my very first kit: a beginners kit from Amati (see below). My goal is to one time build "De Zeven Provinciën" from Kolderstok. For now I...

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...

Just ordered the new rather expensive HMS Victory from Occre. Look forward to receiving it in a few days time. Hope to post the build of it over the next few months or more realistically a year. Should be interesting comparing it to the Caldercraft Victory I built in 2015. Since then a Titanic...

Built this over the last year adding extra utilities and lighting

Hi everyone. I started my first ship, La Candelaria, & all feedback is welcomed. Dry fitting bulkheads to false keel & machinist square...

Occre announced a new kit on their website. From my local shop I got some more info. It is the HMS Victory with a limited edition. A really high-end model with a matching price. Details

After 40+ years of scale model building, I've finally decided to dive into ship building. As I stated in my intro post, I was going to start with something like the Albatros, but after watching a few build videos, I thought I could handle something a bit more of a challenge. I was tire kicking...

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...

Hello all. Pleased to say I'm starting my first ship build, the Occre Polaris. I'll try my best to run a beginners build log as I go. All's going fairly smoothly so far. Lessons learned... Everbuild GP Super Glue works great for gluing wood to wood. Even faster with the activator. Other super...

Hello. This is my first attempt in wood modeling, therefore, I don’t know much, I’m trying to repeat how it was done on Youtube. frame glued with glue Moment-wood:

Hello everyone , This is my first post here. It's my 2nd wood ship that i'm building. I got this kit as commission build with the keel/skeleton already assembled,sadly he didn't kept gluing the Bulkheads straight so there is little warps with the deck when i assemble it. I know i have some...

5/5/23 to 5/5 Got this kit about a month ago and have been waiting to start it until I got to Vallarta, and I’m finally here. Since it is only my second build and my first not at home, I knew just getting everything to Mexico would be a bit of a challenge. After all, I’m still learning what...

I am building Ulises by Occre. This is my first venture into ship modelling, although I have been building model railroads on various scales for more than half a century. I am up to the hull painting phase. So far so good and great fun gas been had. There appears to be lots of useful advice...

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...

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
