Hi Uwe. Your count is correct. Three daughters and one son, all happy and in good health and now at the age of 25 to 32. I count myself blessed.

Thank you. The local club has a great library, but I like to have some of my own and I'm getting a pretty good library of my own. I really like the "Anatomy of the Ship" series. I have several of them, but some of them are priced really high, like the one for the HMS Alert.
I also really like the reference books on rigging.

Hohenzollernmodell 1660-1670 Scale 1/75 POF build by Stephan Kertész (Steef66)
Welcome to my account of the Dutch two-decker in POF. A while ago I bought myself a book of the writer Heinrich Winter, "A Dutch two-decker". You can find the book review here...

Thank you for the link Stephen, I have pulled up a chair and will be watching your build progession with passion and excitement, this will be awesome to see a POF build of this.
I bought the book to give me some more research material for the Mamoli Friesland kit I recently purchased.
Arrived today: the 2 volumes of "The History of Sea Ordnance 1523 - 1875" by Adrian B. Caruana.
Volume 1 : "The Age of Evolution 1523 - 1715" (published 1994 by Jean Boudriot Publications)
Volume 2 : "The Age of the System 1715 -1815" (published 1997 by Jean Boudriot Publications)
This set of books should have comprised 3 volumes. Unfortunately the author passed away before he could complete the last volume covering the period of 1815 - 1875. It was never published.
Although these books, and especially volume 2, are quite expensive I was lucky to obtain the set of them at a relatively reasonable price. Volume 1 in very good condition, Volume 2 even as new.
