I recently completed building the Endurance. No major problems during the build and the model is residing in my living room now. Ant questions you may have, please feel free to contact me at shipmodelbill@gmail.com
Welcome aboard! If you are a first time builder, may I suggest you start out with a simpler project, to get your feet wet. There can be a steep learning curve involved and it can be frustrating. I started out with a simple dory and then a sailing pram. They were both great starter kits and taught me a lot!
This is a great starter set at a good price and it included tools you will need (you will want many others) Also look at the beginners corner forum, and the wonderful building logs our members have been so kind to show us.
We are all here to help!

Welcome. "Endurance" is something you will need lots of. I am sure you will find this to be a voyage of "Discovery" as well!
I look forward to following your build.

Thanks Bill, I really appreciate your contact as I'm certain I'm going to have a ton of "omg what have I got myself into" moments

Welcome to the greatest forum around!
Melbourne must be ticking this morning after our fantastic Brisbane Lions took out the AFL Grand Final. It's hard to get back to modelling after all the excitement yesterday but they say "it's only a game"

New here, name's Phil, from Melbourne, and a 1st time builder.
Proud, and a very excited owner of the Endurance which arrived yesterday.
I have always held a monument of respect for Sir Earnest and his crew and so I'm determined to do them all justice.
Retired Engineer with a passion for detail and always looking for tips and tricks from the more advanced modellers so finding this group this morning is just perfect.
Looking forward to everything on offer

Welcome from sunny Texas!
Hello and welcome aboard. I have the Endurance about half way completed. It's a nice kit without any problems. Occre has instructional videos on YouTube for the Endurance. I think there about 67 videos. They are great to help you along the way.

Just completed my first attempt at planking, that went OK, it was the trimming after where I made a few whoopsies
