Handcrafted in our atelier, this 36-inch model of HMS Astute is realized using the traditional plank-on-frame method. Every stage is executed by experienced artisans to preserve the vessel’s silhouette and technical character.
Carved and finished in select Red Cedar, Teak and Mahogany, the model captures the angular sail, seamless hull contours and bow-mounted sonar with precise, hand-applied finishing. Production is bespoke and typically requires 3 to 6 months with photographic updates throughout.
