If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.

Incredible. It is one of more beautiful model than I have never seen.
Just some historic precision to complete this masterpiece :
The "brass stars" along the hull are "fleurs de lys" (Lily flower) the emblem of the French monarchy. In fact, it does not represent a flower but the head of the lances of the francs warriors.
Concerning the name, in French we say simply " la réale " without specifying " de France " for two reasons: the first one is that in the French naval tradition, contrary to the English and American traditions, we indicate simply the name of the ship (l'Ambitieux, le Fleuron, le Soleil Royal ...). The second, is that before the french revolution, we would have said " du Royaume de France" (kingdom of France ), not "de France".
If it can help you, here is the photo of the stern of Reale was exposed in the "Musée National de la Marine" (Naval National Museum) in Paris
