Hello from Frankfurt am Main
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2025 8:34 pm
Hello!
I'd like to introduce myself here on the forum.
My name is Dominik, I'm 36 years old, and I'm from Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
I've been building models since I was a child. When I was 6, I received my first model kit – a USS Enterprise CV-6 in 1:1200 scale from Revell. Since then, I've built almost everything you can imagine: ships, airplanes, helicopters, tanks, and so on.
As a child, it was always my dream to own one of the Tamiya 1:16 scale tanks. After taking a break from modeling for a few years, I got back into the hobby as a young adult through tabletop wargaming.
Back then, I built and painted Warhammer 40k miniatures, and through painting those, I eventually found my way back to classic model building.
These days, I’ve been building mostly RC models in 1:16 scale for several years, though I also enjoy building the occasional 1:350 scale ship and occasionally work on my "Flames of War" tabletop army in 1:100 scale.
You can see some examples of my vehicles below. Some of you might recognize them and know me from the German-speaking "Heng-Long Panzerforum," where I go by the nickname "Alpharius."
I’ve been following your forum for a while and thought it was finally time to sign up. I'm really looking forward to exchanging ideas and experiences here!
Best regards from Frankfurt am Main!
