Honeybee Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Hi I don't usually make model ships, too many railings which I don't enjoy and hence the reason there aren't many on this model. Built for a work collegue who served on Pheobe in his youth, many moons ago. He supplied the badge and I made the plinth. I lost the wasp which was going to be approaching the deck Regards Paul Edited September 16, 2012 by Honeybee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagoneer Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'm currently reading 'Spirit' by Alan Pearce which is a fictional take woven around the evacuation of Dunkirk. One of the vessels that features is the Phoebe, it's great to see what she looked like, especially in the form of a beautifully made model. Thank you for sharing. PS - if you fancy a read, it's a very engaging book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't what she looked like: this is the post-war Leander-class frigate Phoebe, not the WW2-era Dido-class AA cruiser Phoebe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish fairey Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Here you go wagoneer, this is the one you want........... Smudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagoneer Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Great, thanks Smudge, I guess I was a victim of the perpetuation of names there. Doesn't detract at all from the brilliant build of Honeybee's modern version. In the book, the Phoebe currently has a load of smaller boats in tow on the way back to Blighty. Not far now chaps.
