First bit of planking. I didn't really wanna pencil in the staggers as the instructions says. Any tips on staggering? When doing a plank floor its nice to randomize things using cut offs, but here the planks are really long, so just went mostly with a pattern sorta based off the picture in the instructions.

Hello everyone. Here I am starting my first build log with the OcCre Buccaneer. I should have the beginnings of it later today after the kit arrives, but we shall see. In appearance this kit looks much like the golden hind kit from OcCre, however there are some somewhat subtle differences. For one, the cannon placement is different, and also according to their store page, the golden hind is 1:85 while the buccaneer is listed as 1:100 to name some of those differences. I'm not sure what this scale is based off of for the buccaneer though, as this kit is one with no namesake. I think posting the kit picture here would be interesting as a start. Then if anyone wants to compare any differences I may do, there is a point of reference.

Thanks! And thanks for your input. I just got my fedex tracking number last night, coming from Spain to USA. When you mentioned Sir Francis Drake I looked him up and saw that he was the captain of the golden hind, which OcCre also has a model of. It looks like the Buccaneer may have been based off the same model. Which is cool to know that it looks like the proper era to those who know of such things. Thanks

Hello kimosubby! I'm new here as well. I'm curious what brands you prefer in your experience? I just ordered the Buccaneer kit from OcCre to be my first model ship. -
Thanks everyone! Its been fun looking at the build logs, and the design of this site is really nice too.

Hello, I'm new here. I've been searching this website getting ideas on what ship to get with help from the build logs and finished photos. Thanks for sharing! I ended up ordering the Buccaneer from OcCre and I'm thinking about starting a build log here once it begins. I was considering the La Candelaria since I liked the look of it, but was hesitant to spend too much. Also the terror seemed like a nice kit to build especially at the price point, but I wanted to get an older looking ship, something that feels like an old Caribbean sorta ship. However on the other hand, the buccaneer galleon looks a bit medieval to me but this kit the buccaneer seems like a good starting point and price point. One thing that is nice too, is I was able to order directly from OcCre and didn't have to deal with reseller prices, so thats a plus.
