THE PRIDE OF AN EXCEPTIONAL MACHINE: HERMIONE LA FAYETTE

The fabulous wooden model ship of the so-called 'Freedom Frigate' is already here: Hermione La Fayette. Artesania Latina is proud to present its new model of the French boat, which starts a new voyage. Not only we have created a completely new model with incredible details and museum finish for modelers, we also have developed a complete and detailed multimedia assembly guide on DVD format so that the assembly of your scale of L'Hermione is a real pleasure.

This legendary French boat model  has been made from the original ship plans, and then it has been created through 3D design, making it a 100% new model. Our passion for crafts is immense.
