A Wooden Ship Model Inspired by Exploration History

The HMS Beagle is particularly known for its second exploratory voyage, during which Charles Darwin sailed under the command of Robert FitzRoy.

This expedition, lasting nearly five years, left a mark on the history of natural sciences.

The OcCre model allows for the representation of this historic ship in a collection dedicated to exploration vessels and great maritime expeditions.

Ensure you have a sufficiently large workspace to handle the hull and set up the rigging. Also consider its final dimensions when choosing the display location.

Building the HMS Beagle Model: 5,095 Pieces to Assemble

Intermediate Level Naval Modeling Project

OcCre categorizes the HMS Beagle as intermediate level and indicates around 480 hours of construction time.

This model kit is suitable for enthusiasts looking to dedicate time to a detailed project, progressing from the main structure to finishing elements.

To facilitate assembly, the kit includes a parts list indicating dimensions and materials, an identification card for parts, and scale plans.

HD photos and step-by-step video tutorials provide additional visual references to follow operations and monitor progress.

Sails and Stand Included

The sails are part of the kit, as well as the basic stand for model presentation.

These elements allow for planning the rigging setup and display of the completed ship from the outset.

To work under good conditions, prepare a clear work plan, suitable lighting, and modeling tools for precise handling of small parts.

A fine clamp, appropriate cutting tool, and glue compatible with the kit's materials may be useful.

Organize the parts as you progress to minimize errors during assembly.
