I started building the Occre Mississippi back in July, and it took about eight months. I used it for a break away from my Occre Revenge, which took me three years; the rigging, especially the ratlines, was driving me crazy. IF you want practice at planking, this is the build for you, lots to do. This is a really enjoyable build, and your imagination can run wild. Enjoy the pics2023-11-03 19.19.57.jpg
As you can see, there are lots of small parts to paint on this build, plots of furniture.
