Hey everyone,
I just want to introduce myself a little bit, since I´m very new to this forum here.
My name is Tobias and I live in the south of germany (near Stuttgart). So please don´t hit me, if I´m writing incorrect.
I started to build ship models more than 20 years ago.
Today I mainly build scale working vessels in 1/24(25)th scale. Currently I have a model of the new 23m series of the german SAR organization DGzRS in my small room.
Since my former hobby room in the basement of an old industrial buildig was demolished in the beginning of this year I had to set my sights lower regarding building.
I can tell you it´s pretty hard to use a fret saw after using a CNC mill for the last few years.
Since I will probably move again in the period of the next year, I´m about to live with my 8 m² room for the next few months.
My other interests regarding our nice hobby is for sure my self built CNC Mill (300kg steel monster
which unfortunatly lays completely disassembled in my basement) and electronics.
I learned to program AVR mikrocontrollers and design PCB´s in the last few months (which was really hard for me as a "learned" mechanical engineer) so currently I have a few projects running regarding this. E.g. the probably smallest radar drive of all times (with a 6mm stepper motor) and a 16 channel multiswitch which can be used with every 2,4Ghz Radio as well.
Best regards
Tobias
