New, ofcourse, from Russia/Netherlands

Post by jee »

Hi,
Finally found this nice forum so here we go.
I am born in the Netherlands but moved to Russia.

I live in Barnaul, Russia at the moment.

I would like to buy a tank somewhere next year, seems we have to built a house first :D

Regards,
Jaap

And a heartfelt welcome to you, Jaap! :wave: I am thousands upon thousands of kilometers away in Wisconsin, US. I wish right now the tension between the US and Russia were less, because the people have so much in common. Do keep posting here. House..? Won't a shack do, with a big modeling room?

A Warm welcome, Jaap- and warmth is what you will need in Barnaul, in Winter. I guess 8O
I just looked it up on Google maps, and it's in Southern Siberia. Your new house will need good insulation, and so will your future model tanks :D :thumbup:

Hi,
Thanks, and yes I wish the same, people from both countries are great, only governments are making it very difficult.

Hmm, for me shack with a large space to built things would be nice, unfortunately my wife is officially the director of our company, so nope, is not gonna work :D

Thanks, lowest temperature this winter was -41 celcius, so yes it can be a bit chilly here :D

To be honest the tank(s) will be winter projects as we run a company that organizes trips in to the mountains in summer. so not much free time usually.

I just looked up various sites about Barnaul, including the typical annual weather. In the US, the joke was often about being sent in exile to Siberia. Oh-oh! Barnaul winter weather is much like Wisconsin—but Barnaul is more moderate and less humid during the summer. I’m the one exiled to Whitewater, Siberia!
