Gerhardvienna Posted July 1, 2018 Author #272 Posted July 1, 2018 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!

Gerhardvienna Posted March 23, 2020 Author #283 Posted March 23, 2020 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!

Gerhardvienna Posted March 24, 2020 Author #289 Posted March 24, 2020 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!

Gerhardvienna Posted March 25, 2020 Author #290 Posted March 25, 2020 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!

Gerhardvienna Posted March 12, 2021 Author #292 Posted March 12, 2021 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!
