Hi Max,check out the other Endeavour builds there is one that has a handmade top decoration.
-
Thanks Geoff,i tried to make bumpkins but they didn't turn out very well.I might try them later.definately something to add last if I do some.

Hi Max,It's great to see another Occre Endeavour build,you're going great so far.Pretty hard not to open the box, you need to check all the parts are there ha,ha.The best advice I can give you on the kit is go by the measurements and placement of parts by the plans or the colour instruction book,not both.The photos in the colour instruction book must be a prototype model.The written instructions sizes are wrong sometimes as well so try part lengths against your ship.Capt Slog has an Endeavour build close to the Occre one,lots of other excellent Endeavour builds here as well.Good luck any questions just ask.

Great idea on the bowsprit step,i'll use your sandpaper around the old brush trick,unless it's copywright.She's looking great Augie,must go and use my seat of ease.

Foremast,just the blocks to add now.The plans had 8 rows of woolding but most others guys had 7 just used some card each side.Not sure about the bands between the woolding what do you think?
-
Exactly,wonder if all kits are the same.
-
Thanks Mark,bit of a guessing game between the instruction sheet sizes,plans with different sizes to that and locations of parts and the colour photos from what must have been a prototype build all different.
-
Thanks a lot Denis.

She looks great,well done,I like the aerial and whole ship photos. -
Thought I would do the bowsprit yards before I moved on.The colour instruction book has the yards mounted further up the bowsprit than the plan so another part to put where I think looks right.I looked at the rigging plans to see which angle the blocks should be placed.The bowsprit came out ok for me lots of Endeavour logs are amazing,way beyond my skill level.
