What makes the Soleil Royal limited edition so unique?
Exceptional details. A museum-worthy arsenal model.
This Soleil Royal model ship is designed as an arsenal model, meaning it follows the actual shipbuilding structure—keel, frames, beams, planking, and masts—crafted in historically accurate proportions. It’s more than just a replica; it’s an educational and collectible piece that reveals how real ships were built.
The arsenal concept is visible in three key areas: structure (precise keel and frame alignment), planking (accurate hull thickness and curves), and rigging (correct scale and rope drop). On top of that, it features sculptural decorations with detailed carvings on the stern, figurehead, and moldings. Everything comes together in a museum-quality finish meant for premium displays.

The History of the Soleil Royal: Naval Icon of the Sun King
Origins and symbolism
Commissioned in the late 1600s in Brest for the navy of Louis XIV, the Soleil Royal was the most magnificent ship in France’s fleet. Its golden carvings and sun motif symbolized the power and grandeur of the Sun King himself. More than a warship, it was a floating expression of royal dominance.
In battle: glory and naval power
Flagship of Admiral Anne Hilarion de Tourville, it played a key role in the Nine Years’ War and major battles like Beachy Head (1690). Its blend of firepower and maneuverability made it a tactical powerhouse at sea.
Legacy and legend
After suffering critical damage in the 1692 battles, the Soleil Royal was burned to avoid capture. Its silhouette—blue hull, gilded reliefs, and monumental stern—lives on in art and naval history, continuing to inspire ship modelers and history lovers worldwide.
