32" L x 16" W x 32 " H (1:115 scale)
Requires hundreds of hours to build from scratch (not from a model kit).
Hollow hull/plank on frame construction (a painstaking process where each individual plank is added to the hull one at a time).
Built with rare, high quality woods such as cherry, walnut, birch and maple.
Amazing details – planked deck with nail holes, tied down cannons, cannon ball racks, authentic lifeboats, 4 cannons shooting out the back,
lanyards (connects the gun ports to the hull) and more.
Hand painted the colors of the actual Soleil Royal.
The model rests perfectly on a large wood base between four arched metal dolphins.
Masterfully stitched thick canvass sails that hold their shape and do not wrinkle
Metal anchors and machine turned cannons.
To build this ship, extensive research was done using various sources such as museums, drawings and copies of original plans.
