The blue prints, technical details, carved wood decoration and entire design
of that ship came out from my imagination. This is not a model of the
particular historic ship, but rather compilation of the typical ideas, used
for the war vessels in 17th century. All decorative details are hand-made,
carved from apple-tree. There are several micro-bulbs working from
3-12v p.s. used in the ship lights. The bow and stern (lit also
from inside) look very impressive in a low light conditions.

"Le Soleil Royal" -
glory of the Royal French Navy was begun in 1669. The vessel had a
tonnage 2000 tons & she was armed with 104 cannons of
different caliber. During the war against League of Asbourg the
flag ship "Le Soleil Royal" became famous for the fire
power, the sail impressiveness & her splendor. On June 1
1692, the "Soleil Royal" was rammed by a small English brig
"The Blaze". The French flagman was fired and blown up. It was the end of her
short life.
The blue prints, construction details and other necessary
information are based on the historic materials coming from
Marine Museum of Paris (France). The model stand decorated by wood
carving of my own design. |
