Le Triomphant (S616) is interpreted here as a 36-inch handcrafted scale model of the lead boat of the Triomphant-class SSBN. Inspired by the vessel launched in 1994 and commissioned in 1997, the model reproduces the low-profile hull, distinctive sail and sharply angled rudder with exacting attention to proportion and detail.
Each piece is crafted using traditional plank-on-frame construction and finished by a dedicated workshop team. The model uses fine hardwoods—Red Cedar, Teak and Mahogany—and is produced to order with photographic progress updates at key stages.
- Materials & technique: Traditional plank-on-frame construction in Red Cedar, Teak and Mahogany; hand-assembled and hand-finished.
- Dimensions & fidelity: 36-inch handcrafted model, accurately proportioned to the original submarine (approximately 138 meters long, 14,335 tons submerged).
- Historical detail: Faithful representation of the missile deck and external features of the class designed to carry 16 M45 submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
- Build time & updates: Build time varies between 3 to 6 months depending on complexity and selected options; you will receive photos during hull construction, deck detailing and final painting and finishing touches.
- Presentation & shipping: Final approval precedes packing in a fitted wooden crate with shock-absorbing materials for worldwide shipment.
- Exclusivity & care: Custom-made commissions with conservational guidance provided to preserve long-term value.
