HMS Beagle by Occre (yes another one)

[Paul L]

Hi All,
It seem from catching up here after being away for a while, that when people come back, they build the Beagle, well, me too.
I have just posted the final video of my Bluenose (not my actual nose, although it is cold enough for it to be blue) it has taken me three years to complete, but I got there, it will now be donated to Scarborough Yacht club, where it will be on permanent display.
I have also just started building the HMS Peregrine by Corel, but have to say, I am not impressed with the quality.
So follow along and watch this space for the Beagle build.
Paul

Welcome back. Will be following your progress on the Beagle as I am currently working on it myself.

Welcome to the Beagle club! I look forward to seeing how your build goes, good luck!

Well, I've started. I hope to bring more detail to this model and have started with Treenails in the main deck (see photo)
Keel and frames done (see video)

Main deck completed, with Treenails, now just need to stain it, again with this, I want it to look more real than a model. I'll keep you posted.
Here's the latest video and photo.

I got the main deck stained down to what looks similar to the photo I found of the replica in the Nao Victoria Museum in Punta Arenas, Chile.
There aren't a lot of photos, but there is one of part of the main deck.
