Gidday Raymond. I would be interested in your opinion of Mr Marquardts book. I hope there is enough information to facilitate a scratch build or assist in determining if the Occre kit is satisfactory. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours. Mark.

Gidday Johnathas and another warm welcome from the Land Downunder. I would advise you to search the build logs for your kit. You may find solutions and advice for most problems you encounter. Dry fit the parts and read and reread the instructions to gain familiarity with parts and the assembly process. Please feel free to pose questions. Looking forward to your build. Mark.

Gidday Raymond. I have no experience with this ship although my Occre San Felipe is a mish mash of ships. I am unsure if this is an typical of Occre kits. I do have a couple of questions, If you are going to scratch build this what are you basing your model on? If you have plans do these not answer your questions? I hope I have not confused the issue. Wishing you all the best. Mark.

Gidday Harley. A job well done. I am looking forward to future builds. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours. Mark.

Gidday Robert. A good idea to begin the build is to dry fit everything, or as much as is practicable. Read and reread the instructions to gain an idea of the build process and gain some familiarity with the various pieces. By your pictures you have already begun dry fitting. Remember to ask as many questions as you need to. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours. Mark.

Gidday HOF. I have come in late. Just curious, what is the scale and finished size of the model? Wishing you all the best in your endeavours. Mark. -

Gidday Salty. I have finally caught up with your build after being away crook for some weeks. Looks like you are making good progress and maintaining a high standard. I am impressed by the work and the way problems have been overcome, (I must check my vents). Wishing you all the best, Mark.

Gidday Salty Dog. Frustrating that the parts are incorrect. I admire your perseverance and finding a solution. I agree with CDW in post #77 wholeheartedly. I think the affect on the funnel is superb. Wishing you all the best, Mark.

Gidday Salty Dog. It is a pity about the missing parts. Hopefully the wait will not impede the build. I certainly hope the parts arrive in a timely fashion. I wish you all the best in your endeavours, Mark.

Where are the Masts & Sails?
pontiachedmark replied to Oskar24's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Gidday Nicolas and a warm welcome from the Land Downunder. I may have misunderstood or I am naïve but have you done a search for Masts? I suspect there will be a lot of information available. I certainly hope this suggestion is of some help. I am also in a quandary re the plans having no information on the masts. Do you have the complete set of plans? Possibly someone in the group can assist. I wish you all the best in your endeavours, Mark. -
Gidday Pat. Firstly, I envy you your recent trip. The build looks like it is progressing well and you appear to have not encountered too many problems. She sure is looking good. All the best, Mark.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
