Now that I’ve finished my 11th ROKR build, I’ve decided to try my hand at an OcCre wooden ship model. It’s a 120 hour estimated build time.
This is a true glue, paint type model. I’ve chosen the Endeavor Americas Cup Yacht. Because I love the sport of sailing. This yacht will be truly beautiful, if I don’t screw it up! I’ve purchased every tool and handy thing I might need. I would truly appreciate any tips from others who have tried to upskill to a model like this. Wish me luck! Photo and link for anyone interested. Thank you! I love this community!

That yacht looks absolutely incredible—I haven’t come across that brand before either, but wow, the detail on this one is next level. The fact that you have to paint it too? This is going to be such an awesome journey to watch. I’m really hoping you’ll post progress photos because I have a feeling this build is going to be something special!

Good luck and enjoy building it. Since it’s all glueing and painting I don’t think it is for me…

Oh man. I’ve seen that website but I don’t want (yet) to commit to THAT level of build. Or maybe I just prefer the Robotime style instead of the more realistic craft it yourself and glue it all style of brands like the one you’ve mentioned.

My last kit was 10 to 12 hours, I thought wow how many hours, but my god 120 hours, I didn’t know there were kits with so many hours.

It must be very details and intricate. 120hours is a long time if just being and not customising
