Dear Fentens:
Thanks for the simple model, Living near the Erie Canal in Up State New York I ha a soft spot for barges. I have a history Question? Is the Building the Headquarters of the Paper model Company? And Is there water as in Canal at the foot of the Building age of the building? So far I have page printed out Building scored and cut next to glue will take picture and post here later.. Thanks Miles

Hi Miles
No - the building is not the headquarters of the company, it is just a set of warehouses in Hamburg, Germany. Yes there is water at the base of the buildings - these are dock-side warehouses. Quite a few survived the "attention" of the allied bombers and have been restored. The rather good Hamburg maritime museum is in a much larger warehouse and well worth a visit. Interesting the model of the Irene Abicht has appeared. I got a printed copy of the model in 1:250 scale from a friend of Peter Brandt at the last Bremerhaven model show. It is rather small at 1:250 so better to try it at 1:100. David |

Nice work, Miles! And thanks for the additional information, David.
I love those European quayside buildings. Baltimore did not have anything exactly like that in the 1950s, when I used to rove the harbor, but there were a lot of interesting-looking warehouses and other buildings right next to the water. One of the few that still exists is the Domino Sugar warehouse in the Inner Harbor, which is still operating, so that most days there is a cargo ship tied up there, Don |
