Static boat Etoile Museum Collection

Compared to the standard CHARMING series featuring the same models, special attention has been given to the details of the fittings, and the hulls have been painted to mimic reality, making these unique models coveted collector's items for wooden boat model enthusiasts.

These boats are manufactured in a Chinese factory led by a passionate enthusiast of ships and boat models. Great care is taken in selecting high-quality materials and in meticulous craftsmanship down to the smallest detail.

Crafted from the highest quality wood, these boats exude impressive realism, creating a perfect harmony between art and craftsmanship. The rich tones of the woods used add a warm dimension to these scale replicas, echoing the maritime heritage they represent.

Starting from 2020, the Charming Museum series will no longer be produced due to rising production costs (a revival of production would triple the displayed price). The limited quantities currently in stock present your last opportunities to acquire exhibition-grade models of this quality.

Shipping these models via palletized carrier is necessary to ensure their arrival in perfect condition. We encourage you to contact us in advance by phone to inquire about additional shipping costs, in addition to the displayed price, depending on your location.

The BELLE POULE and its sister ship ETOILE were built in 1932 by the Normandy Shipyard in Fécamp.

Both identical, they are exact replicas of the schooners of the "Paimpolaise" type which, until 1935, were used for cod fishing on the Icelandic banks.

As the last vessels of the French Navy to have been part of the Free French Naval Forces, they proudly fly the Cross of Lorraine flag at the bow.
