No Denis, he had cut himself off from the world not answered any text messages and his phone was just ringing out, we sent him a care package before christmas but was not delivered, cut along story - I found out who is local psot office is gave then a ring and the care package was with them, the nice chap there agreed to try and drop it at my bro's but on Two visits no reply so he left it with my bro's neighbour, she took it in and over several days tried knocking to get my bro to to answer, in the end she was worried and rung the police, they had to go through her's and over the fence and broke into his around the back where they found him very poorly and in his bed, they called for an ambulance who then put him in a streatcher and rushed him to hospital. From what I was told if we had not sent the parcel it would not have led his neighbour to have rung the police ans he would probably have been dead now as he hadn't eaten or drank for days. He has had a few things happen over a short time perod thats made him very depressed leading to him not looking after himself also with lock downs it must have scared him about going out even for food. It is a worry. but I try to give myself somthing to focus on as constatntly worrying about him wont change anything (hope that does not come across un caring) OC.

Hi all What a day, the replacement light is (apperently) being delivered in the next 24hrs - we will see, so thats the only news about the build, had a real trial found out that my brother (who I had no contact from in over a month) has been in hospital for over Three weeks, he was discovered when his neighbour called the police - they broke in and found him very frail in his bed he was rushed into hospital malnurished and very frail, he is doing well again and hoping to go home tomorrow, he is certainly going through it . So to day was lots of phone calls chasing up all his things to do with him. OC.

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.
