Historic Arsenal model with museum character

The Soleil Royal is considered one of the most famous warships of the 17th century. In this edition, OcCre relies on the classic Arsenal construction method, in which the ship is built from the inside out. Frames, keel, stringers, planking, deck superstructures and rigging follow a realistic construction principle. This makes the Soleil Royal 1:70 ship model not only a visual highlight, but also a didactically challenging project that provides deep insight into historical shipbuilding.

With a length of over one metre, the finished model has an impressive presence and is clearly positioned as a collector's ship model with display case and exhibition character.
