Figurehead of the 74-gun ship ‘Le Centaure 1782’
This Lion model is inspired by the monograph by J-C. LEMINEUR
Find the plans by J-C. LEMINEUR and the monograph ‘Le Vaisseau de 74 Canons’ by J. BOUDRIOT on the Ancre Editions website.
This figurehead is made from carefully selected pear wood, first turned on a wood lathe and then machined with a CNC. The figurine is then finished by hand (additional carving) and treated with wax oil and a colourless matt varnish. The colour is therefore completely natural and may vary from the photograph.
This model is also available in other scales, in a resin version.
