Have just completed my first full size wooden ship, the Occre 'Albatros'. Did two small vessels the Lobster Smack and Bounty Dory Boat to test the water (so to speak!). Really enjoyed this, made a lot of mistakes, misread plans and got glue in wrong places (mainly on me!)....but overall pleased with the result. I like the Occre brand which I think is good quality for the price. Been bitten by the bug and have already ordered my next venture which is to be the HMS 'EREBUS'........onwards and upwards
