Endurance by Chris D - Occre - 1:70

I built this model as a housewarming gift for my eldest daughter and her family.

I was very pleased with the quality and design of the Occre kit. The wooden elements were very nicely made and the non-wooden components were well formed. The instructions for both the hull and rigging were well thought out and clear. I found the large collection of build videos on the Occre website to be particularly valuable.

It is a very enjoyable model to build, and it does not fight you.

It is the first wooden model that I have built in several decades, so the rust shows in some areas, but think this model is doable for people of limited experiece. I never experienced issues that made me want to throw up my hands in frustration.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
