Boerscht Posted November 11, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2023 After finishing my OcCre Polaris I wanted to go more advanced and chose the Beagle for my next model. I really like the look and also the historical background of Charles Darwin. There she is: Kiel is perfectly straight: doing the skelleton applied the deck before planking. I can fix it with some nails this way. cabin walls added, thats it for the start: ccoyle, BrochBoating, RossR and 4 others 7 Quote Greetings boerscht ✌🏼 Current build: HMS Beagle - 1:60 - OcCre Finished models: Polaris - 1:50 - OcCre Endeavour J-Class - 1:80 - Amati Bounty boat - 1:24 - OcCre Goletta Elisabeth - 1:122 - Mini Mamoli Optimist Dinghy - 1:10 - Krick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelSmith Posted December 3, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2023 Nice start. Those clips look good for keeping the main hull form parts square. Boerscht 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boerscht Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted December 13, 2023 Long time no see, but had a little bit progress on the Beagle the last weeks: Started with the lifeboats besides planking the deck: planked the deck with 6 cm long pieces, not single stripes: added the brass doors and windows: and already started with planking the first layer of the hull: Mr Whippy, SiriusVoyager and The Gimps Chimp 3 Quote Greetings boerscht ✌🏼 Current build: HMS Beagle - 1:60 - OcCre Finished models: Polaris - 1:50 - OcCre Endeavour J-Class - 1:80 - Amati Bounty boat - 1:24 - OcCre Goletta Elisabeth - 1:122 - Mini Mamoli Optimist Dinghy - 1:10 - Krick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelSmith Posted December 16, 2023 Share #5 Posted December 16, 2023 Looks like you are making good progress on the Occre Beagle. I see you have built the Occre Polaris and the Bounty's boat. What is your impression of Occre's kits you have built? Mr Whippy and Boerscht 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instrucions are clear and material is good. Good beginner models.

Patrick B Posted January 15 Share #10 Posted January 15 Hi, I missed your start a little, but I will join from now on your build. I noticed that occre did some changes lately. It seems that your keel is made of presswood instead of the plywood I received in the kit I purchased a year ago. Quick question: Are your blocks made of boxwood or are they plastic? Also, do you still have a sheet of walnut pieces? Good luck with the rest, Patrick B Mr Whippy, The Gimps Chimp and Boerscht 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
