Also check out ModelShipWorld by the Nautical Research Guild: https://www.modelshipworld.com/

They just recovered from a recent hack, so is a little sparse in content, but a lot more of the folks there focus on wooden kits like yours than the non-wooden kits we do here.

Here's a 20 minute video from a guy who has built this kit. Hope it helps, and welcome to ship model building!

New To Ship Building

by Steve_O » Mon Jun 29, 2026 5:11 am

Greetings All, I am new to this hobby after nearly 50 years of building and flying RC planes my vision has deteriorated to the point where I hesitate to fly. My interest is in building wooden sailing vessels. In browsing the internet, I came across OcCre as a kit manufacturer and in particular the HMS Beagle has caught my eye as a first build. Any comments regarding OcCre or the Beagle would certainly be appreciated. Thank you!
