Paint set for Montañés model - OcCre

Acrylic paints specially designed for the Montañés

Building a wooden ship model doesn't stop at assembling the hull and deck elements.

Painting, surface treatment, and choosing finishes also contribute to the final appearance.

To assist with this step, OcCre offers the 90527 paint pack, specifically designed for the Montañés.

The set includes 8 pots containing the colors, shades, and varnish needed for the model's finish.

This assortment allows you to work on different parts of the ship, considering their appearance: painted surfaces, wooden elements, and pieces that require special protection or finishing.

An assortment of colors, shades, and varnish

Acrylic paints are used to color the elements involved in the ship's decoration.

The shades allow you to alter the appearance of the wood while revealing its grain according to the desired result.

The varnish is then applied to surfaces that require an appropriate finish.

With its 8 pots, the OcCre pack combines these different products into a single assortment.

It avoids the need to search separately for the references necessary for the Montañés finish.

However, it is a complement to naval modeling: the ship model and application accessories are not included in this set.

Tips for successfully painting your wooden model

Before any application, prepare the pieces by removing sanding dust and any handling marks.

It is preferable to paint certain elements before assembly when access becomes more difficult once the ship is built.

Proceed in small steps to maintain a consistent application.

Plan for brushes of various sizes: a fine brush for details, decorative pieces, and small surfaces, and a larger brush for extensive elements.

For wooden parts, apply the shades evenly and check the result on a scrap piece if you want to anticipate the obtained shade.

Follow the usage instructions and drying times indicated on the pots before handling the pieces or continuing assembly.

The varnish is applied to elements requiring finishing, once the previous layers are sufficiently dry.

The Montañés, a Spanish warship

The Montañés is a Spanish ship of the line launched at the end of the 18th century.

It belongs to a period when large warships were designed to carry significant artillery and participate in naval battles.

Its model reproduction allows you to work on the characteristics of a three-masted ship of that era, with its hull, decks, rigging, and numerous details.

The OcCre 90527 paint pack accompanies the creation of this model by bringing together 8 pots of colors, shades, and varnish.

It is a suitable complement for preparing the decoration and finishing of your Montañés model.
