Endurance - OcCre - 1:70 - Jeff T [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Barcomad]

Really nice job. I hope mine can be as good but somehow expect less...
Superb finish.
I'm about to start the masts so a way to go yet.

Thanks for your comments. I am sure you will do an excellent job on your Endurance.

Beautiful model Jeff, you must be very proud of your build. I enjoyed following your progress, well done, she’s a beauty.

Thanks Roger. Glad you enjoyed the build log.

I put together a build video that I will share with friends on social media. I decided to post it to YouTube and share it with folks here on SOS as well. Enjoy (I hope!).

Wow - such beautiful workmanship. I love the black hull. Very nice indeed. Also great photography as well.

Thanks, Donnie. I really appreciate your comments.

Jeff, somehow I missed this entire build. I was wondering if you were still building so I looked you up on search. Beautiful ship. I’m enjoying going through this build. Anything on the horizon? My Galilee Boat is about 3/4 done.

Thanks, Vic. I have done the first steps on a new build in the last day or two. I will start a build log on it soon. I am doing a full cleaning of my work area, so not too much time or space to spread out with a new build just yet.

I have your Galilee Boat as a watch, but I don't remember getting alerts when you post. I will have to catch up your log.

I am still pondering whether to start a build log on another model I have been building concurrently with the Endurance. I have been documenting it with photos, so I could do a log. I wasn't too sure of my ability on this kit, but it has come along well (although quite slowly).

What are you working on? I’ll be sure to put it on my watch list when you get your log started.

My next build will be Model Shipways' 1/64 Bluenose. I should get a log started within the next couple of weeks.

I started building Endurance around the beginning of January and completed it just into October. This was a fun build and relatively simple with the number of laser cut pieces supplied by OcCre and the fairly simple rigging of the ship.

So here they are - the final build pictures.
