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.

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.

Gordon thanks for sharing any information now that's great

Gordan, thank you for walking us through your comments and concerns in regards to this kit. I will certainly thinking twice before building that model. PS, you have a new sub!
