« Last post by Don Prince on 22 Dec , 2022, 02:00 »Hello Mr. Tore and all of my very Dear Friends,
This will be my very last Christmas Card on the AMP Website for this year of 2022 to you all. I understand that the AMP Website will be shut down when we celebrate the New Year of 2023. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to have become a friend and a colleague of Mr. Tore Berg-Nielsen and all. Together, over many years of sharing knowledge with Mr. Tore Berg-Nielsen, Maciek Florek (Deceased 2nd August 2017), Simon J. Morris, and Mark Hessburg, I was able to compile their wealth of knowledge and to create the book; "Skizzenbuch: U-Boat Type VII C Project." I started this project as a novice with a steep learning curve because I only had questions and no answers. These friends and contributors were patient with me and answered all of my sometimes dumb questions; for their support I will be forever and eternally grateful. With my bitter sweet memories of long nights working with my colleagues on the AMP Website: Thank you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, and many more years to come...
Kind Regards,
Don_

Be my guest! I certainly am not inclined to climb aboard that beastie, though.

I am really sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, please accept my condolences. I hope things are going okay with your father.
Updates on your diorama would be welcome, I like the street lamp which is illuminated. A nice touch. I should point out that the AMP forum will be closed at the end of this month, with the next week or two so that folks can save information from various posts before the forum goes down.
Cheers,
Dougie

« Last post by Bad Karma on 18 Dec , 2022, 09:03 »I am sorry for this absence on AMP. The health issues in my family were from bad to worse.
My mother lost the batlle with cancer on last 21 Januari. She died in the Hospital.
I am now sort of caregiver for my dad. And i am his only child. Since my last post on 11 August 2021.
I was in the Hospital more, than i was at home.
I have some updates regarding the boats(s) and dio. I will post them soon.
Here is a little teaser.
The street lantarn is just a dry fit.
Regards,
Ron.

AMP NEWS / Re: CLOSING DOWN
« Last post by SG on 17 Dec , 2022, 10:23 »Wink, this is a sad new.
This forum is something unique and contributed to promote the knowledge of Uboat and submarine culture in general for years. it will be greatly missed. Good things don't last. All my gratitude to you and Dougie for creating it, it was a most brilliant idea of yours and thank you for keeping it open for so many years.
To all the members of the forum, the outstanding modellers, the generous, ironic, top notch experts and researchers, the legendary veterans (Tore, am thinking of you), it's been a pleasure to interact with you and share your experiences and knowledge. Thank you! It enriched my life.
For those of you wanting to get in touch with me, i redirect you to my blog, where you'll find a suitable email address in the "about" section of the site:

Feel free to contact me for Uboat or modelling related questions, or just to share research/modelling anytime.
Long live the AMP forum members!
Cheers,
SG
