Hi, some of you might know me already from Playmoboard, where I am a regular poster. I'm also member of Playmoportal (Bollian) and Playmofrance.
My 'obsession' with Playmobil started when I was a kid, back in the late 70's. My favourite themes were Pirates, Medieval and Western. Unfortunately, I lost interest in Playmo as a teenager, and...I sold my whole collection! :cry:
With the release of the Pirate Flagship 3940 (US 3286) in 2000, which I accidently saw in a toyshop, I got interested again. My intention was to buy only 1 such ship for nostalgic reasons... :roll: . Of course, I haven't been able to stick to 1 ship and I have quite a reasonable fleet meanwhile. I'm only into the 'Pirate-theme', though this also includes soldiers, civilians, nobility, etc...., and several sets from other themes like Medieval (houses, castles, ....), some Western (stagecoach, covered wagon, artillery,...) and a few Vicotrian. My goal is to create, in addition to a fleet (Pirate, English and Spanish vessels), a complete 18th-century harbourcity. I also customize clickies for this purpose, allthough I only use Playmo-parts and haven't done any paintwork sofar.
As I'm also a Tintin-fan, I use the name of a character in the comic-book 'Secret Of the Unicorn', capt'n François de Hadoque, as my nickname on the boards.
So, I think this introduction is long enough now :wink: , so see you later!
