What a great job. I’m just starting this kit and hoping my finished product will look as good as yours.

Very nice build. This is my next project when I have finished my current build. Can I ask you what changes you have made to the standard model? Thank you.

Lovely model of what was an epic in eventual survival. Sir Earnest Shackelton took the ship down to Antarctica, lost the ship (crushed by sea ice), but NONE of his crew. Amazing! Read the book, "Endurance". A riveting read.

And then buy the lovely Occre model. They are great kits.
Excellent build. Great idea depicting sails furled.
Wasn't the Endurance recently found in the antarctic? The real pictures are super. Love all the dogs which I presume are sled teams for exploring.

Yes you're right
See BBC news :
Endurance: The lost ship has been found after 107 years!
Scientists have found the remains of the Endurance ship, which was the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.

The model is fantastic and the links to the articles were very interesting, thanks so much!
