Paint pack for model Fram - OcCre

An assortment of paints dedicated to the Fram model

The finishing of a wooden ship model requires products suitable for the different surfaces of the model.

With the Fram paint pack, OcCre offers an assortment designed to accompany the decoration of this ship.

Reference 90561 includes 8 pots containing the colors, stains, and varnish necessary for its finishing.

The paints allow you to color the relevant elements, while the stains are used to work on the appearance of the wooden parts.

The varnish completes the set to achieve the planned finishes on the model.

You thus have a specific assortment for the Fram, without having to select each product separately.

8 pots for colors, stains, and varnish

This pack is intended for modelers who are building OcCre's Fram and wish to use the finishing products intended for this model.

It facilitates the preparation of decoration work and allows you to gather the different necessary references in one box.

It is a complement to the construction kit and not a complete model.

Brushes and application accessories are not included in the pack.

Plan for several sizes of brushes to work on large surfaces, small pieces, and details of the ship.

Tips for painting a wooden ship

Before applying the products, prepare the pieces by removing sanding dust and handling marks.

When access allows, paint certain elements before their assembly.

This method facilitates work on areas that will later be difficult to reach, especially around superstructures and deck equipment.

For wooden parts, apply the stains evenly and do a preliminary test on a scrap piece if you want to check the result.

Use a fine brush for details and a wider brush for large surfaces.

Follow the application and drying instructions of the products before continuing assembly or handling the treated pieces.

The Fram, a ship designed for polar expeditions

Built in Norway by naval architect Colin Archer and launched in 1892, the Fram was designed at the request of explorer Fridtjof Nansen to withstand the pressure of ice.

Its rounded hull was intended to allow the ship to be lifted by the ice rather than crushed by it.

The Fram participated in three major polar expeditions. Between 1893 and 1896, it accompanied Nansen in his crossing of the Arctic Ocean.

It was then used by Otto Sverdrup during an expedition in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, from 1898 to 1902.

Finally, Roald Amundsen used it for his Antarctic expedition between 1910 and 1912, during which his team reached the South Pole.

Now preserved at the Fram Museum in Oslo, this ship holds an important place in the history of polar exploration.

A complement for finishing your naval model

The OcCre 90561 paint pack is aimed at modelers who are building the Fram model and wish to have the finishing products suitable for this model. With its 8 pots, it gathers the colors, stains, and varnish necessary for the decoration of the ship.

This box allows you to prepare the different finishing stages without having to individually search for the corresponding products.

It accompanies the assembly of a wooden ship model and helps to highlight painted surfaces as well as elements whose natural appearance needs to be worked on with a stain.

It is solely an assortment of finishing products: the Fram construction kit is not included.

Brushes and accessories necessary for application are also to be provided separately.

Prepare surfaces and apply products

Before starting, carefully dust the pieces after sanding.

It may be useful to paint certain elements before their assembly, especially when access will be limited once the ship is completed.

Plan for brushes of different sizes to handle large surfaces, small pieces, and deck details.

For wooden parts, conduct tests on a scrap piece to check the stain's result.

Apply the products gradually and follow the usage and drying instructions on the pots.

The varnish is applied to the surfaces concerned by this finish, once the previous layers are sufficiently dry.

A historical model for a naval modeling project

The reproduction of the Fram allows for the creation of a ship associated with the great scientific expeditions of the early 20th century.

Its three-masted schooner silhouette, deck equipment, and fittings make it an interesting subject to present alone or in a setting evoking polar regions.

A diorama can notably represent the ship trapped in the ice, using decorative elements such as snow, ice, and the reliefs of the frozen sea.

With its 8 pots of colors, shades, and varnishes, the OcCre 90561 pack is a suitable complement for finishing the Fram model.

It allows for the grouping of products provided by the manufacturer to work on the decoration of this exploration ship.
