Good moring fellow builders hope you’re all well. Did more deck details yesterday and started the shrouds. The ship didn’t feel « alive » so I added a bit of deck furniture. The barrels were made from empty fountain pen cartiges that I cut and painted. I also used the little balls in the cartiges to make the cannonballs. I tried to look up how the cannonballs were stored on schooners, I didn’t find accurate informations so I just glued them on deck as if preparing for a battle. The buckets are just from excess wood that I sanded and drilled. If you have any suggestions for more details I would be pleased

Hello I am looking for 1/100 crew members for my occre albatros, 1/100 schooner. I am not sure if it’s a good idea especially with the colors of the ship until now. Any recomendations or if I want to purshase? Or any tips if I want to make them myself ? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your kind words. True, practice does make perfect.

This the build as it is now : As for the lifeboat I glued the rows in the bottom of the hull, I didnt pay attention to this detail thats why it doesent make sense.

I did the second planking it turned ok but there are a few imperfections The rudder was a little bit tricky but I still worked it out. I think the hole for the rudder is too big (image number 4), it doesent make sense to have a hole under the water line… For the paint I tried painting the ship in dark red at first because the planking was dirty. Unfortunately it turned out even uglier so I went with white and it seemed to have fixed the mistake. I have done a little bit of reasearch on the schooner « albatros » and I didnt find any historical details on it. I guess its just an example of a schooner rather than a scaled model of a real ship that existed (I did find a schooner named albatros but it wasn’t the same ship ; no cabin). That’s why the colors diverge from the original kit. I also used copper to make these decoration as it felt blank, maybe windows would have been better.

Then I made the cannons I had trouble painting them with acrylic as it didnt adhere well to the metal

Hello ! Just discovered this forum a few days ago and thought I would share my work. I discovered model ship building in a naval museum this summer (in La Rochelle France) and wanted to build my own model. I chose the Occre Albatros as it is an affordable kit ans looked begeinner friendly. I have a bit of experience in wood working but this is my first model. I am already almost two months into the build (started september 4th). Fell free to critisize my work as I dont want to make begeinner mistakes on my next model These are the first images (I used wood filler to do the clauking)
