Well i have done it again!!!!! Sometime this week Occres HMS Erebus kit will hopefully be delivered to me🤪. At least this time i have a better idea of what to expect, and this time will be looking to correct in wrong shaped frames (Matthew Betts stated in his blog about the frames being altered from true to stop piracy and the weird bulge on Terrors hull shows this). Looked at the kits instructions on occres website and it really just looks like they have used their Terror kit with a couple of differences thrown in. Once the kit is hopefully in my hands i will start a build log (already spotted couple of things needing altered along with all the stuff from Terror kit! Keith

coming long nicely- forgot to say a couple of posts back that yes you will need to add the other pinrail on the bulwarks for the mainmast. Keith
-
Welcome to the Endurance club- i kind of threw away the Occre instructions after framing- take care when sorting the formers for the stern as they are handed and sided. Keith
-
I used rub down transfers for the name, but there are a plethora of waterslide/ rub on and presfix transfers available along with etched brass and plastic lettering in various scales. Keith
-
That is an ideal stage to pause the build Hake- she is really coming along now. Keith
-
Welcome to the "littleTerror club" as Keith S named it- nice to see we have encouraged others to upgrade the kit (even just adding the deckhouses make a world of difference). Keith
-
if you look through my log you will see the difference if planking more realistically by tapering the planks (this was one of the most pleasant hulls i have planked) Keith
-
Coming along slowly but surely. That paint in the stern windows has worked really well. Keith
-
Dread this bit if painting hulls! - think i primed and sanded my Victory hull 3 times before the final coat of primer was applied- see if you can get hold of some high build primer (used in car body repairs to smooth out any filler used) , but this might react with the primer you have already used. Keith

Welcome to the Endurance club- really must get back onto mine, but building a 3.8 metre x 2.4 metre garden room/ workshop (12 feet x 8 feet old school measurements) over the past month so no shipyard time. Keith
-
As you state starting to look very busy- still think you went with right decision in not plating the lower hull as the varnished wood and painted wood really compliment each other. Keith

I was wondering how much of the work so far was removeable for when the planking started 😜. Are you going to use the occre supplied second planking or replace it Daniel? Keith
-
coming along nicely hake- oh to have figured out the compass post and ice bridge before i had nearly finished the model!! Keith
-
nice find Keith- i have an old railway oil lamp made by Adlake with a yellow (caution) lens but it does have a crack on the lens and i had to source a new wick holder (the oil tank is original though). Keith
-
well done Keith
-
You are welcome- now would be a good time to use the Occre instructions to light the fire😁 Keith
-
wow coming along there Hake- word of caution though, the ropes from the helm lead to blocks underneath the barrel for the steering rope then to the blocks in the bulwarks then to the tiller. Keith
-
who said building a model of a ship with lots of available photos would make life easier! 😁 Keith

Yeah i noticed the same differences on various photos- also the ladder accessing the bridge is as depicted by billings/ constructo but on some pics and the heller model they lead on to the bridge itself running fore/aft. I think the pic with no bridge is her original style as it would make more sense to add a bridge than to remove it (the photo also looks more 'grainy') Keith
-
progressing nicely Greg- i still find it interesting how similar this kit and the Billings kits are regards deckhouses/ bridge etc- main difference is how the hull is planked (just the standard rough billings planking strips). Keith
-
Ty Oliver hope you both have fun with her, also checkout Keith S and Daniel D's build logs. Keith

they are indeed real names for decks- the f'csle can also be referred to as the anchor deck. Keith
