Hello from Innsbruck.

[Martin's]

Hello model building enthusiasts! My name is Martin Seelos, I'm 52 years old, I'm from Innsbruck (Austria). I worked as a car mechanic until 2015, mainly on Toyota and Lexus. I've been building models since my early youth, with a few breaks. Since 2015 I have reactivated my hobby again, as there are still some kits in my stock. My last purchase was the Pocher Ducati Panigale Final Edition with the Autograph transkit. A Pocher F40 with Autograph Transkit will be delivered in a few weeks. I mainly build in 1:12 scale from Tamiya and Model Factory Hiro but 1:20 & 1:24 are also available in my warehouse. Most models are F1, Civilian, Rally and Lemans. I'm a slow modeler because almost all models are built with additional detail sets and carbon. I also own a Proxxon turning and milling machine for special projects. My last model was a Tamiya Williams FW14B with all the top studio detail sets. Unfortunately I couldn't finish it because I was about 18 months ago. my mojo lost. Now I'm still holding back the renovation of my workplace, but once the renovation is completed, I'll move on at full speed. I have enough projects, the difficulty is choosing who will be the entry-level model. I'm looking forward to being active in this forum and exchanging ideas with you. So here’s to being friendly together.

Kind regards Martin Seelos

Welcome Martin. I'm hoping you're going to enjoy this forum and the members of it thoroughly. Play that Muddy Water's tune "Got My Mojo Working" and get back in the groove. We are anticipating some great builds will be coming our way. Welcome again.

Willkommen Martin. Es hört sich an, als hätten Sie einen sehr fokussierten und engagierten Ansatz beim Modellbau und freuen uns daher auf Ihre Arbeit hier. 

Yes No! I am a Senna fan and have several MFH models from him. The only model that doesn't suit me is the 1:32 Border model Lancaster full interior. I was very curious about the technology and details. I was obsessed with F1 since I was a child. Unfortunately I was only able to be there live once in Monza 2002. That was an experience that I will never forget.

Willkommen Martin. Ich hoffe, dass Ihnen dieses Forum und seine Mitglieder viel Freude bereiten werden. Spielen Sie „Got My Mojo Working“ von Muddy Water und kommen Sie wieder in Schwung. Wir gehen davon aus, dass einige großartige Builds auf uns zukommen werden. Willkommen zurück.

Rattlecan Dan! The renovation is turning into a catastrophe! Actually, only minor renovations were planned, but once you start, you can't stop. It should last for the next 20-30 years. I have already seen some projects in other forums and on Facebook. There are great builders gathered here. I think we'll have a lot of fun together.

Welcome to the forum Martin.

Welcome Martin.  You will be in good company here as there are several of us who build 1/12.   I have a similar history as yours but don't always go for the hi-detail sets. I get them when they are available and affordable. Besides I have a lot of kits to do.  Look forward to seeing your work.
