Phoenix Model Development, Northampton

Apr. 17 Would you like a Hitler on your mantelpiece?: Even when cut down to his 2 inch size, it isn't a proposition that many people would welcome. Perhaps a Young Sir Winston Churchill would suit you better. Miniature Hitlers and Sir Winstons are both rolling off the production line at Phoenix Model Developments in Northampton, and demand exceeds supply at the moment. The managing director, Mr. Brian Marlow was amazed when orders for miniature pewter Hitlers started pouring in from Germany It was the last place we expected said Mr. Marlow. Mr. Marlow started the company 5 years ago after model making as a hobby for nearly 25 years. I had so many requests for models, that I took it up professionally he says. The models are mainly military, regiments and cavalry etc. but recently Mr. Marlow began producing well known military figures with great success. The Young Winston was a special order from Columbia Films for presentation to the cast of the recently made film. We now have a Napolean advancing says Mr. Marlow It's Napolean seated on a safa, beside a reclining lady, with his hand poised tastefully over her knee. We are hoping it will do well on the French market. Britain's exports are certainly taking on a macabre air. Tim Richards, aged 33 the designer of the statuatta
