I’ve always enjoyed ships but it never occurred to me that I could build models until a week ago. Your videos have helped guide me to choosing OcCre. I’ve ordered the San Juan and am very excited to get started! Thanks for the videos!

Welcome aboard! You will love this hobby! Just a small remark, San Juan Nepomuceno is from Artesania Latina, not OcCre and even though it is a very beautiful ship i wouldn't recommend it as a beginners model. It is very hard to build , doesn't even have laser cut decks. I would advised to build a couple of more easy models before building the San Juan :)

I will STRONGLY recommend Vanguard Models as a great starting point for beginning. Particularly the two smaller ships they have for beginners as the design has the bearding line built into design and guides for sanding lined out for you to help. Chris Watton does an insane job at making kits easy to understand.

@@prototypep4 thank you for the recommendations! The “San Juan” that I ordered is actually a small beginners ship from OcCre. I think it will be a good starting point but I will check out the Vanguard models as well!

@@lincolngp279 The San Juan was my first model as a pastime response to covid lockdowns. I spent three months on it. Then I did the Occre Beagle. That took 18 months because I bought a book about the Beagle.... It is a fantastic hobby and I was really lucky (as you are) to choose Occre which is really easy to follow with good quality materials.

Hello John, great unboxing, allways love that part of modelbuilding, really gets the imagination working. Don't matter when you get around to building, personally I have around 30 modelkits in My workshop that I Will build, if i live long enough, i'm close to 72, and I love to look at Them and imagine what i Will doo with Them. At the moment i still work On My billing boat titanic, just finish the hull. Best to you an buddy Simon

Hi Simon! I am glad that you like it, i always love the unboxing, it's like you said, you have your imagination fly away and you picture what it will look like when you finish it :) You have plenty of time ahead of you Simon, your works of art are waiting in their boxes 😄

Hi Gary! i would never could go through a model ship without company and guidance :) I haven't mention that before and i am glad that you asked me :) I love it when the building of the hull is complete and i start to make all the stuff that goes to the deck, especially the cannons if there are any 😀 And i hate 2 parts of the entire build, 1) the rope ladders, 2) making the yards and if the ship has 2 layers on the hull i hate the 2nd layer 😉

On my self I have also montanes and santissima Trinidad.

Love it John , I’ve just got the Billings Bounty for my stash . Unfortunately the Modelshipyard Port Jackson Schooner I’m building has no Sails , so not to be an idiot I’ve got to make some probably from Calico cotton and then find the rigging somewhere.I’m also doing the Artesania viking Ship with a sail 😁 Greetings from Perth Australia 🇦🇺
@JohnsWoodenShips2 жыл бұрын
Hi Dirk! Of course you are not an idiot, that's why you try to find sails for your sails ship! You know how i am saying that, no offense :) There are people out there who are willing to pay 1000 euros or dollars to buy a sails ship with no sails!!! That is stupid unless you can manage to make the sails on your own :)
