What is on the horizon for build no 2 Best wishes as always, The Lazy Saint. Thank you Lazy Saint. This has been a very fun project and I can’t wait to start another. This model, The Golden Hind, is labeled as a level 2 beginner, so with the experience I gained from this ship I will take it up a notch. Currently I’m looking at the level 3 HMS Terror, also by OcCre. However, I’m open to suggestions. I thought the plans, stock wood, and laser cut plywood were all very good from this manufacture. The only thing I thought was a bit sub par was the inconsistency of the dead eyes and pulleys. I’m not stuck on this manufacture, but with my limited experience, I would do another project by OcCre. If there is a better manufacture of sailing ships, I’d like to know. Thanks again for your kind words, Daniel JayCub 1 Quote Daniel Current Build: 1931 Amerigo Vespucci - OcCre 1:100 Finished Build(s): Golden Hind - First Ship - OcCre 1:85; 11/2019 to 3/2020 HMS Terror as Fitted in 1845 - OcCre 1:75, 10/2020 to 1/2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielD Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share #81 Posted March 4, 2020 Finished the rat lines on the fore mast and permanently install all the masts. Slow steady progress. On another note, I was able to find several images of completed models and printed them out for reference on some of the rigging. I already know I will be making at least one change, I’ll be installing a pulley on a couple of static lines so as not to have another line tied to just the middle off a static line. Similar problem discovered by other builders.

Daniel, I built the same model by Occre and spent many hours studying those directions (and I use that term very loosely) trying to figure out the rigging instructions. Finally one day they made sense after many many hours. I found the references to the lines correspond to a chart they supplied for locations where they attach and go. they also show a partial view from the side but don't reference there is another the same on the other side of the ship. They were difficult but made good sense once you get them figured out. Mark Nice build , by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahka_est Posted March 9, 2020 Share #87 Posted March 9, 2020 Really nice job. im doing Occre Terror for first build(blog here). Taken into account how good job you are doing for your first build then Terror is easily suitable for next. i ordered Caldercraft Cruiser and Master Korabel Polotsk for second build (havent decided yet which one).

As far as knot tying...many years ago, while my son was in Boy Scouts, I made a website for the troop which taught knot tying via animated graphics, so I needed to understand each knot very well. As the years passed by, I forgot most of the knots; however, once I looked them up, they started to come back to me. Check out YouTube, they have lots of good demonstrations.
