Hi David,Hi. I am hoping someone can tell me how good the model kits are from Occre and any drawbacks about them. I am very interested in the San Idefonso and the Montanes. Any input will be very helpful
Thanks.
Dave
I have recently bought the ST kit, and yes it does have metal parts, which, when I get there , I'll replace with wood. I'm building Mantua's 'Le Superbe' which also came with metal port frames & lids, which I have replaced with wood.i have seen a few build logs of the Occre Santisima Trinidad and have a question on the gun port lids. some of the build logs have metal lids and others have wood. does anyone know if the kit still comes with metal lids or do you make the wooden ones yourself. i am not a big fan of metal gun port lids>
I email occra for parts this person Xavier never got back to me few times DONT BUY from themHi. I am hoping someone can tell me how good the model kits are from Occre and any drawbacks about them. I am very interested in the San Idefonso and the Montanes. Any input will be very helpful

im glad things work out for you but this person not helping and a bit of a wise person. Ill take care of this ,there lost 4 people already.and moreIn my case, OcCre is of good quality. The instructions are somewhat difficult to understand, but just thinking a little will solve your problem. As for transportation, my only online order took one day, I´m living in Spain. I have a couple of physical stores here as a reference and I prefer personal treatment (person to person).
I received the following message from their advertising service:
<<EXCITING NEWS FOR OCCRE AND FOR MODELING LOVERS!
We feel honored and grateful for the invitation of the director of the National Museum of the Royal Navy who recognized our prestigious model of the HMS Victory
In response to this honor, we gave unit 000/999 of the limited and worldwide only version to the museum.
It can now be visited in the museum, along with the original HMS Victory, in Portsmouth.>>View attachment 433217View attachment 433218

I have built two kits from Occr, The Endeavor and Dos Amigos. Both kits had great plans and materials and I would recommend them even to first time builders.
