HMS Surprise is the English name of the Unité, a French frigateThe frigates appeared in the XVIth century, during the golden age of galleons; they were then small and fast warships, with an uncovered deck and slightly armed.(Source: wikipedia) of 24 light guns, designed by the naval architect Mr. Forfait, and built in 1794 in Le Havre. She was captured by the English in 1796 during one of the numerous battles of this disturbed time, renamed, and rearmed with 36 guns to fight against the revolutionary and later Napoleonean fleets . The HMS Surprise is the ship of Russel Crowe in the movie "Master and Commander".
The model
This model of boat is of museum quality. It is manufactured by hand by Malagasy craftsmen under the direction of Herve Scrive. For an optimal fidelity to the model, the construction of the ship model uses the process of assembly of broadsides on couples (the boards forming the hull are fixed on the couples forming the internal frame of the ship). The bridge of the boat is lathed as on a full scale boat. The hull and the bridge are varnished in several layers. The vessel is made out of exotic wood chosen for their qualities in model making and for their colors.
Each ship model is numbered and accompanied by a historical summary engraved on wood.
This model of boat, assembled by hand during tens or of hundreds of hours of craftmen specialized in hulls manufacturing, rigging, installation of veils etc, is not a kit, but is fully assembled and ready to be admired.
