New kit from Occre 09/21/2025

I just don't understand how you can justify Occre and Artesania Latina kits anymore. This one just seems so..... I don't know... outdated? unrefined? low quality? low effort? phoned in? You know, I don't want to denigrate MSW in any way, but if they aren't growing and changing with the times they are supporting low effort tripe like this kit. More power to them if they really like challenges, they will definitely grow as modelers if they want to make a good model from this kit. But I tell you what, I am building my Chinese full rib kit and I am just grinning from ear to ear the whole time and I really think they are missing some of the best parts of this hobby. I feel so sorry for them.

Hi folks,
it is the Le Soleil Royal...... It costs 1.800 euros.

FU**

Hi folks,

I can well understand your criticism and to be honest, unfortunately I don't understand OcCre. As you know, I bought the Black Swan as a kit, even though it cost me a lot of money. I was very disappointed when I held the parcel in my hand and looked inside the box. Everything was so rough and unkind and not true to scale. It really wasn't my ambition, even though the Black Swan is my first wooden ship. That's why I decided to convert the Black Swan. Nevertheless, these kits naturally also have an appeal for those who find them just as beautiful as they are depicted. And that's a good thing. After all, as the saying goes: "To each his own" ...

You can always argue about taste. Not about quality! The price is absolutely exorbitant!!!
