This is my first attempt at a wooden ship build ( I know it’s of the endurance which has been posted many times, sorry)
I originally was buying the Lego version and bought the display case from BrixBox because I liked the Antarctic backdrop, while a final check on the Endurance Lego model a version from OCCRE showed a version same scale ( would fit in the case!) and it was like night and day, so much better I had to take the plunge into wooden ship building!
I am posting photos of my build so far up to deck fittings, I did make a mistake highlighted in a red circle where I fitted a bullkhead the wrong way around so the rear door did not line up with the gap underneath !
Did not notice this until much later in build

Welcome to SOS!

We all get something backwards now and then. Especially in our first builds! She looks great. (Much better than the LEGO version, IMHO. Not that there's anything wrong with that if that's your preferred medium.)
 
For a first build, you get a thumbs up from me !!!

Great work, much better than my first attempt. I started out with plastic models, then someone bought me a wooden tall ship, the Amati HMS President. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, you can tell from the image, but I learnt a hell of a lot. I look back at it still from where I was, and the knowledge I have now, first image Amati HMS President and now, second image, Occre The Revenge.
