    Hi Brian, and all others who re still interested in my CAIRO- Build Yes, it`s been a long tme since I`ve posted here, but I am most of the time busy with what I call Covid-care for my parents, the two are almost 90 ans 88 years of age, so there si almost no time for modelmaking. But family goes first, all teh other stuff will have to wait, till we all have got our Covid vaccination, will take time till we all have it. Just after that I will be able to make progress on all of my builds, but nothing is cancelled! Best regards Gerhard, and thank you for your interest!

    All pics saved, now I know, why I`m placing so many of them in forums. Almost nothing is lost, currently working to redraw all my 3D-construction parts, including the wheel and engine parts. Thankfully (to myself☺️) I always keep all the steps I make not only on the PC but on paper too. Everything I`ve made in 3D is still here, but will take some days to redraw. Most of the gun barrels are done, now it goes to the engine and wheel parts. Best regards and stay well! Gerhard

    Hi Friends!! Nice to have such a welcome back!! Next thing to do for me is to save all my pics from this thread back to my PC, and then have a new restart. Fortunatly I "save" most of my pictures in the building reports, so I can have a good base for the build. CU soon with new pics, when the "old things" are saved! Best regards Gerhard

    So WELL!!!!!!! I`m BACK!!! That means, I`m back for model making, after some other troubles to handle. But now i am well and ready to have a new start with the CaIRO first to build. I`ve re-read where I was with the build before, checked the started ship, no breaks and no failures till now, what is important for the upcoming things to do. BUT: By a computer failure i`ve lost all the Bob Hill plans, so if anybody has them, would be great to have them back! I will have to rescale the paddlewheel, most of my former 3D Drawings are lost too. But I can still work on the hull, planking is to make, and I can work on the guns . All the barrels are drawn ready for the 3D printer, so there will come more in short time! Best regards Gerhard

    Hi Eberhard I WILL search for them, but have to take a look first, wich one of the files I have saved on my PC yet, but not on the dropbox file. Thanks for the hints, goin` searchin`...................... Best Regards Gerhard

    Hi Eberhard I expected that there must be much more of Kameke, but did not find all of it! If you would have links for us could be really helpful! Best regards Gerhard

    Hi druxey I just "fell" over it by searching for marks of prussian cannons, did not find them but the green albums.............. More about the prussian guns is to be found in the files called "Kameke". Feel ALL free to save the albums and the other files on your PC! That are the things that should be saved by so many as possible! Best regards Gerhard

    Hi hobbydoor That would be great, so we could have the full set of the green albums! I`ve missed them as I downloaded the parts I have, but there were no link to find for them. Naturally I would be interested in the marks of Austria and Germany, but all the other volumes too! Best regards Gerhard
  9. Gerhardvienna
    Hi Burce Glad to read that! By the way, the "Kameke" is very interesting too, lots of information i nerev had before I "fell" over it. Maybe too interesting for you is the file "British smooth bore artillery" lots of infos too! Best regards Gerhard

    Hey popeye Thank you for condolences! BUT: There is no bad without a good.................... We have got part of inheritance, so my admiral has some new stuff, and I have a brand new 3D printer to build, and some extra money for different materials to buy. And there is still father-in- law`s car to sell, more stuff to get for us all . Sound a bit greedy, but things are to be done! Best regards Gerhard

    Hi Johnhoward I will have to re-read that report of your build, I`m sure that I`ve missed a lot of it! Waiting to see even more of that superbe model................... Regards Gerhard
  14. Gerhardvienna
    Hi Johnhoward SLOWLY I`ll find back to my former shape, at the moment I`m checking out how far i had built my projects, and then I can start again. All the models are in good condition, so the restart will not be too far away from now Regards Gerhard
  15. Gerhardvienna
    Hi Friends Thank you so much! I`ll be back in hopefully short time, and then continue with my builds. At the time I`ve just too much other things to handle, and received my 3D-Printer this past week, so I have something to do, and not to think too much about all that mess..................... Regards Gerhard

    Hi Carl Sorry for missing attention, there were a lot of hard times for me and my admiral Sabina. Admirals dad died from cancer in his bladder, admiral herself has suffered pneumonia and is still not at 100% fit, so there is some more time to spend forher recreaction. Model making has to have a break till everything is back to normality..................... BUT: The CAIRO and all the other projects are not cancelled, just waiting! Best regards Gerhard

    Liar I would break my fingers before only one of that small boats look like your do! RESPECT!
  19. Gerhardvienna
    Seems to be a lot of work, dusty and dirty! Wishing you a nice vacation would be ironic........................... Regards Gerhard
  20. Gerhardvienna
    Great job on that boilers! Now I have a clue how they should look like. All pics saved for further use................. Regards Gerhard
  21. Gerhardvienna
    Great small boat! And nice video too! Regards Gerhard
  22. Gerhardvienna
    Hi Johnhoward Great progress with your St. Louis! While I`m struggling with some smaller issues at home (need a new water boiler for my bathroom....), I have to make a little break with the Cairo Regards Gerhard
  23. Gerhardvienna
    Well, NOW you force us................... Regards, and many thanks for sharing Gerhard

    Hi Nils Absolutley perfect done! I`m just a bit sad, that `she`s finished, but waiting for your next perfect strike! Regards Gerhard
  25. Gerhardvienna
    Hi Nenad I would make the boats with all interior, and then decide how to place them. Nobody will be sad, if they are not in a 100% original position. I think, a good way to show them, will be as shown in the second photo, and that single boat as shown in the first. But I would use no canvas covers, just to show the interior! Regards Gerhard

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
