MODEL HMS ENDEAVOUR
Another great kit. I had to add my own touch to this one. I just added a few accessories and some paint. A really enjoyable project. Hats off to the Occre team.
MODEL LA CANDELARIA
I've reconnected with ship modelling after more than ten years with this model. It's been rewarding, but a bit tiring... Seven months, but a worthy ship has come out of it.
HMS TERROR
A great opportunity to shine with this kit. I enjoyed every minute. I added a few extras like lights and auxiliary boats with rigging. A model that's worth every penny.
MODEL TRAM LISBOA
I had a great experience with this model. I could easily add several lights. Easy to build, the instructions are very thorough. Same goes for the house and school models, with excellent online documentation.
Santisima Trinidad
Great both the model and the customer service from Occre. I had a faulty piece and within 10 days I had the replacement. A 10 for quality and the service I received.
MODEL LOCOMOTIVE ROCKET
This was my first Occre model, my first train model and the first wooden model I managed to finish. With a bit of patience, it was a very manageable project and I'm pleased with the result. I recommend The Rocket as a good first kit.
