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.

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!

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...
