Eend = Duck! I should have guessed so, as the German is Ente. And since you have a 3D printer, and you are Eend, I suggest a DUKW for your next project. There are a few DUKW builds here on RCTW (see the search function upper right for more fun).

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. Drones, 3D printing, and modelling--good combo!

Where in the NL are you ? I have very fond memories of the great hospitality shown to me on my regular visits to the DAF Works in Eindhoven, And pleasant evenings in the bars and cafes of Roermond although the caves at Maastrict heve left a rather less pleasing memory and the F1 racing at Zandvoort was very exciting but I still remember the sand in everything I ate :lolno:
But my fondest memory was the Dutch soldiers I had the honour of serving with in Germany, Trust me as a Soldier it is rare to find a nation that actually liked us :)
Enjoy the Forum and please ask questions.
I live somewhere in the Utrecht province :)

Ahh, Zandvoort is nice yeah, but the sand.. Brr. My dad's best friend had a caravan at the camping next to the track, and we could always visit the track for free thanks to a big hole in the fence around the track. And when we visited it was always on a race weekend. Purely a coincidence, i'm sure :D

Ahh, yes, the DUKW. Last year i was looking at the Jeep DUKW from Torro (i think?), along with a Schwimmwagen. Maybe that'll be my next build :D
