The Rubis (S601), commissioned in 1983, is rendered here as a 36-inch handcrafted scale model. Meticulously reproduced, the piece captures the compact profile and precise lines of the lead ship of France’s first generation of nuclear-powered attack submarines.
Each model is built by our atelier using the traditional plank-on-frame method and finished in premium Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. Production is bespoke and typically requires 3 to 6 months, with continuous photographic updates and revisions until your approval.
