Hi everyone
May I introduce myself.
I'm Hans,
60 years, maried, 3 kids and four awesome granddauchters from 3 months to 10 years
I live in Arnhem, The Netherlands (yes the town where it went wrong with that Bridge too Far)
I'm a technician and I repair vintage electronics for a profession.
Most of this work is on pinball machines :-) *
I was raised with Fischer Technic, Lego was a toy only back then.
However my kids didn't like it, the superiority over Lego went down too and the payability was low.
So some years ago I sold my whole collection and invested al that money in Lego.
My personal favorites are Cranes, bulldozers etc.
Yes, I own all the big ones :-)
Second is Star Wars and I have a real load of that too.
* Most asked question, why not build a pinball machine from Lego?
Uhm sorry, it's will never even come close to the real games.
Only possibility is build it as non functional show model.
What I really would like to construct is a Mammoet SPMT, fully functional.
Now that won't be easy.
Any questions?
Please tell me.
