The
models from the Nausica collection are reproductions of the great ships
who have made history.
We
give you a choice of different origins, German, English, American, Spanish
and French.
The
hulls are shaped from humidity-controlled blocks of teak and tecoma.
The
planking (strakes) are nailed and the deck caulked. Parts such as cannons
and their carriages,
anchors
ladders dinghies blocks and tackle etc are prepared at the same time.
The
sculptures for the prow and stern are made from solid wood.
The
masts and spars are made from beechwood from the Jura mountains.
When
assembled, the ship is coated with a mixture ofalcohol and gum Arabic,
this giving a patina which enables her to grace modern offices or the most
refined homes.
The
masts are then positioned, the rigging rigged and the sails mounted. The
ship is then checked
in
every detail before being presented to you.
