Hello from Belgium

[deadeye dick]

Even though my first posts go back to 2005, I just realized that I didn't introduce myself here, which is a shame 

My name is David, born in 1974 (same year PM was born) and living in Belgium - Denderleeuw which is a small town between Brussels and Ghent.

My favorite PM themes are Pirates, Knights, Western & Indians Actually, I like everything that has a historical character like e.g. Romans, Egyptians, Vikings, etc...

And, I have a special interest in customizing PM pirate ships
Crusader ships & a Santa Maria are still on my 'work in progress' list 

• The Lionheart
• The HMS Victory
• The Punisher
• The Caribbean Queen
• The Red Dragon I & II
• Crusader Ship

Apart from Pirates I also posted some other nice materials:

• American Civil War

Enjoy!!!

Hello, DD ...

And, a BIG welcome from the warm and beautiful Virgin Islands in the Caribbean !!!

After, once again, enjoying the pictures of ALL of your magnificent custom ships, I am a bit embarrassed that I haven't taken photos of my Playmobil fleet. Especially since I live in the Caribbean, totally surrounded by clean blue-green water with clear sunny skies.

Thanks for the inspiration.

All the best,
Richard

Hi Deadeye Dick!  I really like your customized ships and am looking forward to the Santa Maria.

Actually I'm a Capt'n on retirement...
The last 2 to 3 years I've spend a lot of time with building a house and my 2yo son Alexander...

But, still my heart is with the PM pirate theme...
So, today I've bought the complete 2011 pirate set on ebay

And if I find the time I will finally make the Santa Maria...
Shouldn't be that difficult because all the pre-work has been done with the Crusader ship

Really looking forward to someday seeing your Santa Maria. DD, your "Caribbean Queen" is still my favorite of all time!
