Hey guys,

I am starting my first log for the HMS Endeavour. This is my first wooden ship. Let see how it goes. I have collected few basic tools and started building few days ago. Here are the first pictures...

I just got my Endeavour model kit today but I got one broken part and no English instructions. Any idea how to get English instructions? Know anyone who can send me photos of his instructions?

Thank you guys again.I can't wait to start modeling. The kit should arrive by the end of the week. I feel happy like a kid again. 

Right now I am trying to figure out what tools do I need, what method is the best for bending planks, what glue to use, how to protect the wood...

And this is my second one where i went little further. Ill try to push my first wooden ship as far as i can. 

This is my first plastic model, the one I used for learning. Turned out quite well. 1/35 scale

Wow, i didn' expect such support on my introduction. Thank you guys.

  @James H  Is it ok if to put here few pictures of my plastic models just to see what quality I am aiming for?

 @loupy45 Thanks for the book recommendations. I also abuse internet heavily when looking for references and instructions.

 @davidrasch Found it!

Greetings!

My name is Ivan and I am new to ship modeling. I have done a dozen plastic models so I have some skills but not with wood. Hope I will get some help from you when I find myself stuck. I have just ordered the Endeavour from Occre as my first model and I am very excited. Can't wait to begin my adventure. I know this kit is not recommended for the beginner but I think I can handle it.
