How's life Gerhard ...I miss your attention to your logs ... for quite some time ...

[Gerhardvienna]

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

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

Gerhard, thank you for the update and best wishes for getting through this stretch of time.

[mtaylor]

Gerhard, I too send the best wishes for you and your family.    

[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 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

[johnhoward]

That's great Gerhard.

I have also neglected to keep my USS St. Louis log up to date for about 6 months but have made continuous progress and will be posting it soon.

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

hey there Gerhard.........so good to see your back!   sorry to hear what's been going on with you two.........good to hear that your weather through it all.  belated condolences to you and your family,  and look forward in seeing you back at the table soon.

[Gerhardvienna]

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

[Gerhardvienna]

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

Good to see you back, Gerhard.

Wilkommen Gerhard,

 

Good to see some life in Austria Sorry to hear about your digital misfortune, do hope you can get your plans.

[paulsutcliffe]

Welcome back Gerhard!!!!!

[mtaylor]

It's great to see you back, Gerhard.  Seems computer crashes with resulting mass destruction of data isn't uncommon.  Buy yourself a backup drive for the new computer as it can be a lifesaver.  Been there myself and having a backup saved me time and anger.

[Gerhardvienna]

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

 

[Gerhardvienna]

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

Gerhard,

 

Its been a while since your last update. Just checking to see if this project is still coming together.

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!

[mtaylor]

It's great to hear from you, Gerhard.  Family and life should be more important than models and more so now due to the virus.   We're a patient group and will await your return.  I hope all goes well from here on.

[cog]

Hello Gerhard,

Glad you are alright and can take care of our parents/family. I do hope you can all have your inoculations, and be done with this to long lasting nuisance and continue your lives.

 

As Mark wrote, we pretend to be a patient lot, and can hardly wait upon your return. Take care, see you soon
