    Hi,
    I would like to introduce my Bismarck. She was built several years ago. I told Curt (Stokamoto) one day I would build her !

    Here she is strutting her stuff, or as Curt would say "Warp Speed" yes I still have that video from Halifax from back in 93, the infamous "Duck Pond"

    Here I am sitting beside her, Not bad for a couple of months work.

    Next the Mighty Bismarck tackles some Ottawa River chop.

    My first battle was against a quickly put together American Ship (Using my Old USS Missouri Hull) I quickly sent her to Davy jones locker.

    Cheers
    Paul

    Lol. Yeah I know. I still got the pictures Paul. Fond memoires for sure. Your old Yamato was destroyed by Bismarck back in 94-95 for Target practice. It served me well. I had no idea that many years ahead I would be have a version that was doing the shooting and sinking it self.
