Dear Gerhard, I am so very sorry to hear that. I whish you and Sabina lots of strength to cope with your loss and problems. I have had pneumonia myself and still feel the effects after 8 years, although, it helped me stop smoking ... Again, my best whishes to you and yours Sincerely Carl

It is, Lou, it is. Have you read convoy PQ17 .. it has always reminded me of bravery bordered on stupidity ... it doesn't diminish the courage of those serving, and do what they think is justified at that moment and place in time ...

I've been looking all over the kitchen table for that blasted hull, must haven been thrown in the garbage ... with the rotten fruits. Temps are 30ºC presently and food is hard to keep fresh ... so is my hull it seems, ah well, I'll just have to start over again Should have warned the missus ... H92 (that's the other one) is at the painters. First 8 layers of primer have been applied, it seems I'll have quite a few more to go ... Last rattle can is being used ... I'll just need to order a couple more ... Have been looking for Glowworm ... she'll turn out like Vendetta for colour scheme ... no "other" camo known, so I can put some more effort into weathering ... would like to come close to RGL's artful creations, don't tell him, but he's good!!

Not to mention the pieces to go with that piece He never stopped since he started!!! Mainly Greg and me ... or was that cursing ....? Denis, we have a proverb: An accident sits in a small corner ... perhaps your tape is just that corner I didn't tell you this, because I don't want anybody to know, but I can't count the times I've been inspecting the floor on hand and knees with a flashlight in my hands, even with a building lamp on the side to get that damned illusive piece ... especially the brass parts are a pain when they jump, you see them flying one way, and you find them in the opposite direction ... i.e. if you find them at all!!! Nice save mate, but don't cut your efforts short, give the other side a brush of paint as you planned! It's not a competition, We want you to do good!!! Even with an admiral shaking her head ... be glad your little friend doesn't laugh behind his paw ...

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.
