Thank you!! I wish you the best of luck on your beagle, ive stopped work on mine for now because of real life stuff, hoping to start it back up sometime soon. hopefully my log will come in useful for you because the instructions dont explain a ton lol. -
I believe thats the hull finished, all I need to do now is the masts, rigging, sails and smaller boats.
-
Taking a break from the boats for a bit to work on the main ship itself, added the figurehead and anchors. Edit: I am aware the anchor chain on the starboard side is too long, I have corrected it.
-
After a month of work i have finally finished the planking of the boats, now onto detailing them.
-
As far as i know, no. you could probably find some plans online and scratch built them but nothing official. Honestly what occre provides isnt too bad its quality, just hard to build especially at such a small scale. I do hope the hobby reaches more people and inspires them to make their own improvement kits for stuff like this but I guess I got to use the hand I have been given for now.

Been a bit since my last update, lost quite a lot of motivation while working on these boats and decided to take up another hobby for a while, but finally finished another boat and i am currently working on another. hoping to finish these soon so i can finally move onto the main ship again.
-
yes i had soaked them for about a day just to make sure they could bend properly, had worked perfectly.
-
i used a plank bender basically the same as yours and i had no issues at all.

Hello Allan, sorry for taking so long to get back to you i have been pretty busy. i believe the kit comes with 2 launch boats, and a pinnace not sure about the other one. the measurements are a little over 12mm for the two on the left, 12mm for the middle one on the right and a little under 8mm for the one on the very right. i dont really know if these are accurate to the real ship or if im right in the boat types so i hope i could of helped
-
been a bit, been having some issues with this boats but eventually figured this one out. hopefully it looks good, tried a hand at tapering some of the planks.
-
not the beagle but i decided to challenge myself and scratch build for the first time, this is a frame in my next ship HMS Unicorn by corel previous one snapped by the owner but i think it turned out well
-
these little deck house things are done, took me a while and they are not super clean but i like them.

Hi E Z Breeze, i wish you the best of luck on your build, im sure you will be 100% satisfied with this model, sure is a beauty in real life! ill be looking at your build log when you post it so if you need any advice specific to this kit just drop a post on there and i will be more than happy to help. your previous model looks fantastic so im sure you wont have a problem with this one. and i agree with allan, research is 100% key on these historical kits, occre does get a lot wrong when it comes to accuracy and not many of them are super minor issues, but its still a great kit none the less. cant wait to see your build log!

this little winch is done along side another hatch, not really that happy with how the winch turned out, the belaying pins are too close to it which also made it hard to put on. but oh well hopefully it wont be a big issue later on.
