OcCre Fram Wooden Ship Model Kit. This detailed
1:85 scale wooden ship kit recreates the legendary Norwegian vessel Fram,
specially designed to withstand the extreme conditions of Arctic and Antarctic expeditions.
The completed model measures approximately
586 mm (23.1 in) long, 205 mm (8.1 in) wide, and 441 mm (17.4 in) high.
The kit includes sails, a basic construction stand, a custom cast-metal ship nameplate,
detailed plans, and step-by-step assembly documentation.

About the Fram
Built in 1892, Fram was a Norwegian exploration vessel engineered to
withstand the enormous pressure of polar ice. Its unusually strong hull made it an
important part of several landmark expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic.
Fridtjof Nansen used Fram during his attempt to reach the North Pole by drifting with the
Arctic ice. The vessel was later used by Otto Sverdrup during exploration of the Canadian
Arctic and by Roald Amundsen's expedition to Antarctica. Amundsen and his team became the
first expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911.
The original Fram is preserved today at the Fram Museum in Oslo, Norway.
A Detailed Project for Wooden Ship Modelers
The OcCre Fram combines wooden model ship construction with the distinctive hull and rigging
of one of history's best-known exploration vessels. Its 1:85 scale provides enough size for
substantial detail while producing a finished model suitable for display.
For builders interested in historic ships, polar exploration, Norwegian maritime history,
or wooden ship modeling, the Fram offers a distinctive alternative to traditional sailing
warships and merchant vessels.
