Hi there......
Posted by widepaul on Tuesday, November 11, 2003 10:52 AM
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

Welcome Paul, the work on your ships was very impressive, those close-ups of the Yamato are excellent. I'm sure the guys in the shipbuilding forum will be glad to have you. Welcome.
