An exact reduced copy of the French battleship "Le Superbe" ("Superb") in M1: 150, was built specifically for participation in international NAVIGA competitions among C-6B class models. In accordance with sports requirements, a ready-made set of parts from the French company "Heller" was taken as the basis of the "Precious" model. The volume and complexity of the modifications made by the author are brought to the maximum limit, in which the model does not lose its class characteristics, remaining plastic in general. At the same time, after replacing the "native" decks, mast, and rafters of the set with wooden ones, the author managed to significantly improve the appearance of the model, making it practically indistinguishable from its "completely self-made" relatives from the C-1 class. The complexity of the finishing touches was largely determined by the small scale (for example, the pitch of wooden lattices is only 0.4 mm). When reconstructing the rigging, the author departed from the simplified wiring scheme proposed by the manufacturer, guided by the detailed drawings of the sailing armament of the same type of 74-gun ship of the line, which are given in the three-volume edition of Bjoro. This made it possible to fully comply with the requirements for the thickness of standing and running rigging, for the correct wiring of which it was necessary to manufacture 170 joists and 230 blocks. All rigging tackles were twisted from silk thread of the required diameter.
