Why this kit matters
The original HMS Endeavour (launched 1764) is famed as the ship commanded by James Cook on his first voyage of discovery (1768-1771), exploring the Pacific and making significant contributions to navigation and science.
OcCre’s model honours this legacy by offering a high-detail wooden kit at 1:54 scale — one of the larger mainstream ship-modelling scales. The size allows visible rigging, deck fittings and construction detail, making it both a rewarding build and a show-piece once completed. The large parts count and construction method place this in the advanced category, spanning many hours of building and finishing.
How to use it
Start by dry-fitting the bulkheads on the keel, then plank the hull using the supplied timber strips. Use modelling glue to fix parts in place, then sand and varnish or paint as desired. Install deck fittings, masts and rigging cord. Finally mount on the included display stand and enjoy the finished model on your shelf or in a cabinet.
Gift Suggestion
This kit is most suitable as a gift For Him given its scale, modelling complexity and historical theme. It would suit a serious hobbyist or collector. It may appeal For Her if she enjoys detailed craftsmanship and maritime history, but would be less suitable For Kids unless they are experienced modellers due to the number of parts and required focus.
This is a wooden model ship kit. Assembly and glue are required. Paint or varnish is recommended. It is not a toy.
