Description: NEW - Corel Milano - Vascello Francese - La Couronne 163 - Wood Ship Model Kit #SM17- 1:100 Scale - This kit does not come with the outer box sealed but all the parts inside are factory sealed.Built in 1636, La Couronne is reputed to have been France's first great ship. Cardinal Richelieu personally supervised her decoration and fitting out. Ornamentation was designed and created by the most famous craftsmen and artists of her day. One look at Corel's La Couronne ship model kit and you'll think you're back in the splendor of 17th century France. Sculptured ornamentation, figurehead, stern lanterns and other sculptured ornaments are beautifully gilded metal. Blocks, deadeyes, belaying pins, gratings and cannon carriages are walnut. Her 64 cannon and many other fittings are solid brass. Double plank-on-bulkhead construction uses laser-cut poplar for frames and keel. Planking is done with thin strips of walnut and limewood. Masts, deck and display cradle and other wooden parts are fashioned from tanganyika, beech, mahogany, and maple. Twelve sheets of plans and step-by-step instructions make for trouble-free construction. Personal History: There comes a time when dreams and reality meet, for me that time is now. I am retired and disabled and have finally realized I need to let all of this go, which means a good deal for you. I have been building models since I was about age 10 and an artist since I was about 12 years old. I have been buying models for years and I have a lot of art and painting items. The pictures are exactly of the item you will receive.***SIGNATURE DELIVERY IS REQURIED*** Description will be as accurate as possible.
