Introduction of "new" forum member

[Aerobert]

Hello!

I would like to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Robert, I'm almost 40 years old and live in Germany. I joined the forum in 2015 but was a silent reader in the past. My RC "career" started about 13 years ago with a Kyosho Mini Inferno and since then some cars and even some planes have been build and some have been sold. But I still own the Mini Inferno.  At the moment I have also a Blitzer Beetle, a Grass Hopper II, a CC-01 (which is disguised as a small Monster Truck), a M-05 Mini Cooper, a custom Sand Rover, a MST CMX with Bronco body and a Mini-Z AWD with some bodies. And of course some projects in the drawer. Here are some pics, sorry for poor quality and the dust on the cars. They are driven far to rarely.

Welcome again! Looking forward to your future contributions to TamiyaClub already

The pictures of your current projects do not show up for me, though - have you entered the links under "Insert image from URL" from the "Insert other media" button?

Welcome to the forum Robert 👍

You just need a few touring cars😉

Welcome, its a great forum to be a part of.

I'm amazed that you've shown so much restraint in 13 years!  Or maybe that means theres hope for some of us here who have accumulated 10 to 30 cars in a very short time!

Yes, I have entered the links as you described but no pics from current projects, will follow later.

I will think about that.

For me it's necessary to find a good balance between cars i want/buy and the space I can use for it.

Are you a native German speaker, Robert?

Just making sure

Anyway, hope you enjoy your time here!

Those are a respectable collection.  Once you become an "active member," they have a way of reproducing themselves...

Welcome to TC.

Welcome to TC, thats a decent range of cars.

I'm having the same issues as everyone else, can't see the pics. I am getting really long filenames showing though, so maybe its an issue from where you are linking the files from or maybe there is something about the file names themselves.

Yes, I am. Is it that obvious?

Sorry, seems to be an issue with my dropbox account. I've tried to fix it, should be working now.

yep, can see them all now. Thats a nice looking collection, very clean. Do you drive them?

You also seem to have a nice little 1/43 scale collection. I'd collect more of them myself, but don't like the prices you sometimes have to pay for such a small car.

Not really, I just wondered if you were active on German speaking model RC forums as there seems to be a very large German speaking modelling community that does amazing things like this

I am working on a wheel loader as a long term project but this is a different thing. My project is low budget, based on a Bruder Liebherr wheel loader. The models in the video are way too expensive for me.

Welcome to the forum, Robert. You have a nice collection.

I  have a little time in TC, and it hooks a lot.

Likewise. But they are inspiring to watch.
