La Licorne Model Ship (Standard Range) – GN OTW

Description

Handcrafted, scratch built and ready- made scale ship model of La Licorne

The Unicorn (La Licorne in French) model by Premier Ship Models is fully handcrafted with attention to the smallest detail. This is a fictional model of a vessel which featured in The Adventures of TinTin comic books, The Secret of the Unicorn published in 1943 & Red Rackham’s treasure published in 1944.

The model of the ship is purchased by TinTin in a market in Brussels and intended as a present for his friend Captain Haddock. They soon discovered that the ship model of The Unicorn, a 17th century navy vessel captained by Haddock’s ancestor Sir Francis Haddock.

The model ship plays a leading role in both comic book stories. And the model of La Licorne features throughout the 2011 Spielberg 3D movie called “The Adventure of Tintin: The secret of the Unicorn”.

With high attention to detail, our artists have created an exact replica of this popular ship model. La Licorne has been designed with the highest level of quality workmanship and the finest materials to bring this fictional wooden ship model to life.

This vintage piece incorporates realistic features of sailing ships during that time period. Superbly build to the specifications of the original ship, this model ship is hugely popular amongst model ship collectors and fans of the TinTin comic books, and cannot be missed.
