Title: Hi from the Netherlands
Post by: matchboxluc on November 12, 2005, 17:43:44

Hi all,

I've made it to this new board as well. I'm 37 and live in The Hague (or Den Haag), Netherlands. Some of you already know me and my affinity with custom building.
I also collect MIB/MISB Playmobil sets from the seventies and eighties (as far as room space and budget take me ;D ). Loose Playmobil figures are usually disassembled by me and stored in compartiments for use in customs; that way I can easily look up the needed parts.
Because I regularly make new creations (for myself or asked nicely by others 8-) ) there is always something to show (at least that's what I go for).

Regards,

matchboxluc

Looking forward to seeing some photos of your unique-looking customs again. :)
I'm also eagerly awaiting the unveiling of your PF avatar. I'm sure it'll be very cool! O0

Thanks for the welcome!
To complete my introduction: I am very much into the seventies. Besides Playmobil I have some boxed seventies toys like from the Bionic Woman range; a boxed barbie seventies living room with contemporary boxed doll (don't worry it's only because they're from the seventies and I happened to get them for an affordable price :-[ ) and a big collection of mint Matchbox model kits.
My seventies affection expresses in me having seventies clothing that I wear when I'm not working, as well as the style of my living room complete with contemporary electric equipment.

Hi Matchboxluc,

 I have been looking at your custom work for a while now and I have always liked what you have done. I even spent some time looking at your  work in your gallery on the German forum and your matchbox collection as well.

 Hope to see lots more of your creations soon.

 Garry.

Hello, Jean Luc ...

I have heard so much about your Playmobil creations that I feel that I already know you. Hopefully, I will get to know you better here at Playmofriends.

All the best,
Richard
