Gorch Fock by Adrieke - OcCre - 1:95


Recommended Posts

its now 3 months since I bought the kit and another month after the last reply from the hobby store. if they ordered the missing parts from the manufacturer as soon as I emailed them the details I am sure they would have arrived by now.

 

not impressed at all with their after sale service

It may be a bit too late for this, but if I can be of any help with translating from Spanish, just let me know.

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

 

Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina.

Last finished projectsRoyal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons

 

Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90;

Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models.

 

So much to build, so little time!

latest reply from the hobbystore :

 

Hi,

Unfortunately it can take some time for spare parts to arrive. If you would be able to please forward through your original email with the parts you are missing to ****@**********.com, we will resend it to OcCre and ask for an update as to where exactly these items are.

I apologise for any inconveniences caused.

Thank you in advance for assistance in this matter.

Kind Regards,

not sure what to think of that. 12 weeks seems a very long time and they should have the original email with the missing parts otherwise how will the follow up on ordered parts

 

I will reply but as is suggested I think I will contact OcCre directly to resolve this issue

 Hi Adriaan,

 

I don't tell you ….I say so…... :P

That is a quick response from them.

When you've got 2 sets of replacements you have spare parts  :D

Always handy !

Hello Adriaan,more than a few hobby shop owners but not all sadly lack in the follow up service, the one thing I learn"t in the restaurant business was,look after your customers and in turn they will look after you(in increased business),I emailed  OcCre about missing parts and received the best service and a free nameplate plaque saying model by-----------,plus a follow up email.Glad your feeling a little regards to the Admiral. :piratebo5:

I received my replacement parts :)

 

after a first check I couldn't find 2 of the missing parts (3 of each) . they are labelled as luces (lights). after going over the plans again I came to the conclusion they are actually the same as some other parts (remaches : rivets).

 

I also received a wooden plaque with the name of the ship and build by .... :)

 

from this I can conclude that this is as a result from my email to OcCre and not from the hobby store as they would not have included the plaque

 

anyway I l be putting the replacement parts in the box and hope that one day I can build her

  • 1 month later...

as I was getting nowhere with the Endeavour and even broke some parts while installing, I have decided to store her away for awhile. as I am intending to make her look like the replica I will go and visit the replica and take lots of pictures so I can come back to her later

 

so while I am still working on finishing the King of the Mississippi I decided to start on the Gorch Fock

 

First I transferred all the little parts in to 3 of my standard storage containers

 

then the 3 parts of the keel needed to be glued together

post-622-0-81540700-1379768230_thumb.jpg

 

I had checked the fitting of the bulkheads awhile ago so I could go ahead with glueing them in . to get them perpendicular to the keel I used the part that will be glued on top of them later on.

 

the slots that make the bulkheads fit in to the decks makes it easy to line them up.

each bulkheads also has a notch where 1 plank fits on. I think this is to make it easy to plank straight later on and also to see that the bulkheads line up
