HMS ENDEAVOUR MODEL
Another great kit. I had to give this one my own touch. I just added some accessories and a bit of paint. A very enjoyable project.
Congratulations to the OcCre team.
LA CANDELARIA MODEL
I reconnected with naval modeling through this kit after more than ten years. It's been rewarding, if a bit tiring... Seven months, but I ended up with a worthy ship.
HMS TERROR
An excellent opportunity to shine with this kit. I enjoyed every minute. I added some extras like lights and rigged auxiliary boats. A model worth every penny.
LISBON TRAM MODEL
I had a great experience with this model.
I was able to add several lights easily.
Easy to build, the instructions are very thorough. The same goes for the house and school models, with excellent online documentation.
Until the next adventure!
SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD MODEL
Both the model and OcCre's customer service are great. I had a defective part and within 10 days it had already arrived. A 10/10 for quality and service.
ROCKET LOCOMOTIVE MODEL
This was my first OcCre model, my first train model, and the first wooden model I managed to finish. With a little patience, it was a very manageable project and I'm happy with the result. I recommend The Rocket as a good first kit.
