Hi there......

General Discussion Welcome - Introduce Yourself

Hi there,
I have been enjoying this forum for the last few months and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Paul Bishop and I have been building models off and on for the last 45 years. Here are links to two of my biggies that are posted on modelwarships.com:

The Yamato I started in 1973 and is almost finished. Still have to add the deck edge AA turrets.

Here is my model of the Rattlesnake by Model Shipways. I started this in 1975 and finished it 9 years later. I always wanted a wooden ship model and don’t think I have the patience or eyesight to build another.

I have just finished the Hasegawa model of the Apache and will soon start on the Accurate MIniature TBM.

Hope you like the pics,
Paul
