vvvjames Posted Tuesday at 07:34 PM #1 Posted Tuesday at 07:34 PM (edited) If you didn't know, there looks to be some good deals on OcCre's website this week, worth checking out if you're looking for a new kit like myself! I had to talk myself out of the Belle Paule, but the Beagle seems reasonable for my second ship! (I am actually still trying to talk myself out of getting the Belle Paule, it's so beautiful and heavily discounted 😭) Best, James Edited Tuesday at 07:43 PM by vvvjames Added info Current build: Albatros 1:100 OcCre (First build)
Meekes Posted Tuesday at 08:56 PM #2 Posted Tuesday at 08:56 PM I'm currently in the same boat as you (pun intended) that i'm still working on my first build the Polaris and i'm tempted to already buy my second model while it's on sale. I just can't decide between La Candelaria or The Endurance! vvvjames 1

I spent a long time looking at those ships as well, the mortars on the La Candelaria look so good. Along with the Beagle I picked up the tool organizer/work stand combo to make life easier.

I hope to have the time to work on it again soon! I really want to have the second planking done this year still. It's really between the looks of the La Candelatia and the history of The Endurance for me. But yeah those mortars look stunning. I've got the work stand but don't have the organizer yet, tempting. vvvjames 1
palmerit Posted yesterday at 01:30 AM #5 Posted yesterday at 01:30 AM Occre doesn’t go on sale very often - unlike Model Expo, which is like one of those stores that has had “Going out of Business - Everything Must Go” sign on the store for a decade. I bought a model from Occre last Thanksgiving during a sale (Endurance) that is still in my stash.
