OcCre Santa Maria – beginner-friendly model of Columbus’ historic ship
OcCre Santa Maria is a wooden model kit in 1/50 scale that highlights one of the most recognisable ships in the history of exploration. The Santa María was the largest of Columbus’ three ships during the 1492 voyage and is directly connected to the journey that opened the door to European exploration of the Americas.
For retailers, Santa Maria is a strong entry-level model because it combines a well-known historic name with an approachable building format. It suits customers who want to begin ship modelling while still working on a subject with a clear story, classic shape and strong recognition value.
With an estimated build time of around 140 hours and a clear construction process, Santa Maria is a practical and rewarding project for new hobby builders. Included sails, cast pieces, video tutorials and detailed instructions give the product a complete and reassuring profile, making it easy to recommend in-store, online and as a gift for history and model-building enthusiasts.
