Gentlemen, I have joined this illustrious group and hobby with vigor....in other words, I'm all in. I am currently working on my first model, the OcCre HMS Beagle and I am really enjoying it. Here is my build log.
I'm sure none of you guys have jumped ahead.... but I have already purchased my next kit (OcCre Montanes) and I have put together my wish list (actually a spreadsheet) of the 3 ships I would like to do over the next couple of years....USS Constitution, HMS Victory, and the Amerigo Vespucci.
I have put together a spreadsheet of the various manufacturers of these ships so that I can start to select which version or kit I would like to purchase. My thoughts are that once I identify the exact model that I want, I can then be on the lookout for sales, etc and be ready to pull the trigger.
I am reading as many reviews as I can and taking notes as I do. I would like to ask the opinion of the group members as to their favorite or their ideas of the pros/cons of any of the models I have listed. Also, am I leaving a kit out that should be under consideration? I have provided alink to my spreadsheet for your review and I would greatly appreciate any comment of opinion on these kits. At this point, it seems overwhelming but I am hoping to make the decision clearer with your input.
Thanks so much.....I have learned a lot from you guys.....this forum is my first stop every morning.
OcCre HMS Beagle - My First Build
Hey guys, I wanted to share and document my journey through my first build. After countless videos, messages, posts, articles, I purchased my first kit from OcCre and have now started. I am buying tools, etc. along the way and will comment on those as well. I appreciate any and all...
