Hi from the Netherlands!
« on: May 19, 2019, 18:09:59 »
Hello dear fellow playmobil fanatics,

I'm new here and I will briefly introduce myself.

First I want to apologize for my not always grammatically strong sentences in English, not every Dutch person can speak English very well. ;)

I am a 30 year old guy from the Netherlands and living in the beautiful medieval town of Amersfoort. Married with my childhood love and completely crazy about everything that has to do with the Middle Ages. My biggest hobby is visiting Castles and I'm a big fan of Ajax (not a hooligan! :loco:) And I like to go on holiday to the mountains of Austria, where I hope to live with my wife someday.

I'm collecting playmobil since I was ten, mainly everything from the medieval theme with the steck system.
I also really like to make my own custom klicky knights with original playmobil parts, which I buy in large quantities in Germany.

I hope to gain a lot of inspiration on this forum and I will regularly show new (custom) klicky's myself. Unfortunately, at the moment I can't show my large collection of the steck system, because I have a lack of space right now, but I hope to be able to rebuild a complete city with a castle in the near future, I will then proudly show my diorama on this forum! :)9

Best Regards,
Zacharie

Welcome from Portugal!

Looking forward to pics of your collection, and the dio :)

I can understand the lack of space all too well...  But you can post pics of the customs in the meantime, I hope! ;)

A warm welcome from the UK!

Your English is excellent.

Amersfoort I know something of from Ambuchannel112.

Welcome from Stroud, England Beekhuys!

Not all British people speak Dutch, so don't worry, you write English very well with hardly an accent!  :lol:
Not all British people are anti-Europe either, but I can't discuss that. :(

Van harte welkom, meneer!

I look forward seeing your customs: your avatar knight is top rank! :love: I shall copy him straight away.

On a personal note: It looks as if we want to be in each other's shoes: I, Dutchman with Austrian wife in Bavaria, occasionally intensely miss the Low Countries, including the "Keistad" (Amersfoort).

Enjoy the forum and Playmobil knights: I cannot get enough of them! :knight:

Best wishes
StJohn
