So I have been waiting for a couple months to be able to get this ship and finally got the chance to get her. She is quite a large kit and a well invited challenge and next step in my path to developing as a model ship builder. This one is as big as my back seat which is crazy. I have been...

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...

Got started on my 2nd build, the OCCRE Albatros. I'm hoping to lean from my (many) mistakes on my 1st build of OCCRE's Polaris. :) Got the skeleton squared up and put together. Also got the deck planked and sanded. Going to line out the planking (still deciding on a pattern) this week...

Hello after a lengthy time away working on 1914-1918 Army Mule drawn ambulance 1:16, ready to start a new ship build. I want to add led lighting to this build however uncharted waters for me can anyone put me in the right direction on types, companies, or anyone who has some experience here...

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.

Navío de primera línea Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad Hello everyone;) I have decided to show the progress of this OcCre kit. It is a ship already known by all of you and there are already very good works in this forum. Therefore, it will not be a strict step-by-step process, but...

Thought I'd post a few pictures of my first wooden ship build, Occre's Polaris. Starting with the skeleton, taking my time to make sure everything went on square and level. Then planked the deck and made my first mistake! As I was trimming the deck, I got in my head that I need to cut the...

This is the build log of my first ever wooden ship model, the OcCre Polaris Schooner. Since the project is on the way, I won´t flood you with all the pictures I´ve taken during the process. It has been a huge learning experience and every step has been like a project of its own. I´ve made...

I hope everyone is well! I am actually about a week and a half late starting this thread.What a difference when you buy a quality model I am really enjoying this build.Here are some pictures of my progress so far,all constructive criticism is more then welcome.

The Albatros is my first build, and man I've learned a lot by doing! I was excited to start this hobby last year. I'm starting this build log a little over half way through the build, but here it is anyway. Happy to be here, I'll keep posting.

Hello all, i begun a new ship which is as the title say a bucaneer. I post dome pictures but is the very beginning of the work, hope the cats this time will not destroy the model like the last time. The last two pictures are the nails filed down with my dremel

When one kit is done you start another. Here we have the golden hind by occre. I plan on changing some things with this one. Going to upgrade the blocks to some by drydock. Going to upgrade the deadeyes to dark walnut. Any other changes yall have in mind that might make this kit over top I'm all...

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...

Hello everyone. I am going to attempt to build a train, it is a Pacific 231, a wood and brass kit by Occre, a large model some 730mm long so hopefully quite impressive. I know nothing about trains, I have never researched or built one before and I have never built with brass except the small...

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...

In the build log I am doing the HMS TERROR by occre. This is my second wooden ship ever. And as usual there was mistakes along the way but learning from those mistakes helped on future builds. On this one I decided to keep it the natural wood tone because I didnt want to paint over the iron on...

This was my first kit ever. There were some bumps in the road as with any first of anything. But key was learning from those bumps. Time was 175 hrs or work over the course of 3 months. At this point I was short on second layer of planks so had to wait till occre sent some extras. They were...

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...

Well I've put this off long enough, with a much needed break after my Royal Louis and now off work till the 6th January, it's now time for the next kit on my workbench. 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 SOS builders, Now after I have gathered a huge load of information and inspiration from the fine build logs here on SOS it’s finally time to start my own first model. I have chosen La Candelaria from OcCre which seems the right size and complexity for me to start with ( but it was hard...
