OcCre HMS Terror – historic expedition model with an Arctic story
OcCre HMS Terror is a wooden model ship kit in 1/75 scale, representing one of the most fascinating vessels in the history of Arctic exploration. OcCre links the model to Sir John A. Franklin’s 1845 expedition, when HMS Terror and HMS Erebus set out to navigate the famous Northwest Passage.
For retailers, HMS Terror is a model with an unusually strong story and high collector appeal. According to OcCre, the ship was among the first to be fitted with an auxiliary steam engine and was reinforced with iron plating to increase resistance to pack ice. This makes the model easy to present to customers looking for a building project with technical interest, historical depth and a clear sense of adventure.
With 3154 parts and an estimated build time of around 480 hours, HMS Terror offers an extensive project for customers who want to take on a more involved ship modelling experience. The finished length of 676 mm gives the model strong shelf presence, while the story of the Franklin expedition, the ship’s disappearance and the discovery of the wreck in 2016 creates a distinctive product profile for both in-store display and e-commerce.
