  1. Thanks guys, see I feel if your going to spend months on a build the money difference really don't matter much. I have been leaning towards the OcCre anyway but was interested to see if someone knew why the big money difference. I figured it had to be better somehow. Well thanks for the input. Oh I have built a few models in the past. I think it will be nice to make a model without all the rigging. LOL. I have seen both builds on u tube and really hard to see much difference. I like the hull of the Latina better as it must be built and the OcCre looks like a solid hull. But the decking on the OcCre looks a lot nicer. Well both are very cool for sure! This time of year is sooooo boring ! I can't wait to get started. Thanks Brad
  2. does anyone know which kit is the best and why ? Being the occre is 2 x the money is it better?? Or is their even another model that is even better than both of these ??? Please before I buy one .
  3. Can anyone tell me which river boat to buy I like both the occre and this one . But the occre is 2x the money any reason why???
  4. I am new to this wood model ship building however I played with a few planke to see what I liked best. My ship is 24" long so what i did is I used a paint sitck (dark brown) first I snaded and sealed the top of the plank to stop some blead then I coated the edges all the way around two times to build up the paint. When butted together it looks great !! for bigger ships do more coats. as far as the nail holes I have played with this as well. The sides of my ship are dark so what I'm doing is drilling a very small hole then using Durams wood putty to fill the holes. Afrer sanding the holes are lighter and can be seen very well. The deck on the other hand is light so I think I will again drill the little holes and mix the Durams with a little dark brown paint instaed of water and see how that goes ?? Although the guy who said to use black fishing line may be an option ? Good Luck Brad
