That is simply beautiful work, Gordon. If you hadn't mentioned the problem with the deadeyes being too far forward I wouldn't have realised due to a lack of experience. This is why I watch experienced modellers so I can learn these type of things. I would love to see more videos showing the methods you use.

Thanks for the kind words Greg. These ship kits are not cheep, but this one kept me busy for seven months. I hope you enjoy this hobby as much as I do.

I will finish the OcCre story, as I wasn't able to get it in the video. I informed OcCre of the screw-up on the mast tops. I offered to send pictures of the problem. Waited for three weeks for a response, none came. I tried three more times to talk with them , not a word back. I also asked about their lifetime warranty, still nothing from them. So, don't count on this company for much help. It also seems that they don't care if their kits are flawed. Very sad. I wouldn't buy this kit.

Well, the things you have to do for yourself are normally the better looking and historically and scale-wise more correct. I normally throw away most of the things supplied anyway, so I guess that kit would be interesting for me, after all. The fun lies in scratch-building. Much more satisfying in the end. Of course, its consuming more time, but hey, we're not in a race, are we? It looks great so far, by the way.

Hi Adam . Sorry but I don't. Are you doing the same kit that I did? You might find another build of this kit on you tube. This kit was pretty poor on the instructions. If you are building this kit, I might be able to help. If you tell me what part you are stuck on, I can look at my plans and give an opinion. If you want, we could go to email and not this You Tube page. Let me know.

Hi Gordon, I was wandering if you have any more photos or videos from this build. I've just started this one and it is beginning to be a nightmare (different things in instruction, different in schemes). I'm currently puzzled by beams that are supposed to bend upwards. More photos or vids would help as the schemes are not showing everything.

This is from Mamoli as the vid shows. You could order it from them on line, or other model companies might have them in stock. You could try a search and see what turns up good luck.

Hi Gordon! First off, exceptional work! I’m a beginner to ship modeling and just finished my first ship (Mini Mamoli USS Constitution, scale 1:330). It came out fairly decent for my first build. I’m about to purchase another project at a larger scale (1:65), and of course, this will not have a premade hull like my first model. I’m a bit intimidated about assembling the hull myself with all the planks and painting required…Any tips?

@gordonback 5 ай бұрын

Hi Jason and welcome to the world of ship modeling. I understand your concerns about planking. It is the hardest part of a build. You might want to start with a boat that has double planking. That way you get good practice on the first layer which has the thick planks. you don't need to be too neat as you can fill gaps and low spots, then fill low places with wood filler and sand smooth to prep for the second and thinner layer. As you know, KZbin is a treasure trove of how to vids on ship modeling. Watch as many as you can. Only practice makes perfect. I do recommend OcCre for your models as they are the best. I do have six other models on you tube. Check them out, and let me know if I can be of any other help. Good luck, and have a fun build.

Good morning and thanks for the question. First off the company that makes the kits have a lot to do with their constriction. My recommendation is OcCre. They are the best as far as I'm concerned. They are a Spanish co. I would recommend that you go to their site and have a look at their ships. They have a customer service that can't be beat, a lifetime warranty on everything. Their instructions and drawings are top notch. To your question, All ship models will be a challenge. The hardest part being the planking. You Tube is a treasure trove of information and how too vids. I would hope that you have some experience building models. Finely My orders from OcCre got to me here in MO in a week. That is crazy fast. You can ask the OcCre people for a recommendation on a starter kit. Good luck

Beautiful detail. Truly inspirational:) Beautiful model. I did a version of the Endeavour using bits and pieces of garden refuse I left laying about for gardening projects. I love making models. They're a lot of fun, aren't they:) The HM Endeavour Ensign System and the use of Umbrellas for Shade Joke The crew of the HM Endeavour ate on deck using tables that had umbrellas for shade in the Sun. The Wheel House and cabin hatch were shaded. The Popham Ensign System of the belly button hernia of the 18th Century signaled using the Cross of St George with a Union Jack Canton. Beneath the Royal Navy St George Cross flag there was the traditional East India Company flag recognised by employees at outposts dedicated to vessels trading in goods and returning to Europe for purposes of commerce involving the Spice Route. Here's how the vessel looked during the voyage into the Pacific- drive.google.com/file/d/17jl3MA3AZyBNDBjVCpyJUuhvZgqKc3Rb/view?usp=sharing

Hi TC this ship is now the Surprise. She started her life as a Rose replica built in 1970. Since then she has changed hands several times as the Rose. The present owners have named her Surprise.

@gordonback 6 ай бұрын

Hi Rodney Yes you are correct. Even as the Rose, she was not the original but a replica. When ships are built and sold, they most often will be renamed by the new owners. With retro fits above and below the water line, she has become a shadow of her former 1970's original self. Thanks for your comment.

@gordonback 11 ай бұрын

Hello all. I wanted to give a quick review of this kit. First of all, the plans were the worst I have ever seen. For many reasons. The drawings were not too bad, other than showing things that were different from what was in the kit. Everything was so confusing, for example, every block (pulley) had their own number. this means that if you wanted to know if it was a large single, you had to find the number, probably on another sheet. it would give you a size in mils, 1x3 and that's it. You had to look at the rigging plans to see how many lines ran through it. If anyone has built a kit from Mamoli, could you leave your thoughts and opinions in the coments below. Thanks much.

Hello - your work is awesome. I am currently working on this build and have a question if you wouldn’t mind. I just completed the lower ratlines for the three masts and couldn’t understand the drawings on the 2nd layer of ratlines. The plans show them, but don’t show what to attach them to. Looks like you have pieces of wood to attach the lines to? I’m a novice - this is the 2nd build. Did I miss something? Or did you add those from your past knowledge? Looks really good. Linda

@gordonback Жыл бұрын

Hi Linda. I would be happy to help. Many of the real ships had these, and they would serve a double purpose. First, they would hold the shrouds apart at the top, and secondly It was a place to attach the futtock shrouds. ( The short ropes that you are talking about). If you need more information, you can try Googling Futtock Shrouds. Hope this helps. If you need anything else, check back with me. Good luck.

Hi and welcome. Yes you are correct about both. First, where do your interests lie? there are all kinds of sail boats, ships ect. There are many model making companies. I would suggest OcCre. Find them on line and browse their kits. Start small and for beginers. Also watch as many KZbin videos as you can. You can probably find a vid of the boat you select and follow along. OcCre has a great customer service department plus guarantees. Hope this helps. I am here if you need more.
