ShipbuilderMN Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 In this ship, I made my first voyage from London to Australia and back in early 1961. Bob 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryn Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Bob I see from Wikipedia that she started out as an Escort Carrier. An interesting project for you perhaps. A before and after. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks Terry, I have built one as Rhodesia Star, but will not be building one of her escort carrier days, although I do have the plans somewhere. I am one of the rare ship modellers who don't find naval ships particularly interesting, although I have build a heavy cruiser and a battleship in the past, just to prove to myself that I could if I wanted.

cngaero Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A lovely looking model there Bob. I've got fond memories of vessels of that era as my Dad was an engineer with BP tankers in the late 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike McCabe Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A fine looking ship, I do like cargo ships of this period. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
