hi every one,my name is bill aka para,iam 42 years old and have been making models on and off since i was a kid,imust say with out any progress in finishing or display, but i hope to put that right now by joining this wonderfull web site. I moved house about 18 months ago with a fair size shed in the back garden fitted it out with workbench and mains electrics and good lights. my main intrest in modelling are large scale stand alone figures but occasionally might try a tank or ship or planes just for variety. I hope at some stage that i might contribute to this site and hope to make my models better than i have been doing for far too long kind regards para.
