Hi from germany
 

My name is Axel, and I am from Hamburg/Germany

I am fascinated by the things and shapes you can do with metal and some simple tools, although I have never tried it very often.
I was working as an automotive designer at three big car manufacturers, and we worked with clay, foam and fiberglass, but the older I get, the more I fall in love with the classic round car design from the 50ies and 60ies and their metal bodies...
At the beginning I will be just lurking around here to see what you guys are doing, but you never know.... may be one day I will invest in such tools for shaping alloy and sheet metal, and built my own dreamcar...
My appreciation to you guys, you do amazing work!

Regards
Axel

Hi Axel and welcome !:)

Hi Axel.

I always loved Oldtimer Praxis. Excellent magazine, and fun reading. Sounds like you already have the bug (Baulust) to build something, not much is required to get started!

i am actually building something, I call it a hybrid version, half metal, half fiberglass.
The car is a Dino 206P...the target is to be able to do a full metal body one day!

Welcome to the forum, Axel :)

Hi Axel, Welcome to the forum.

Nice car. I'm sure you can challange yourself --I mean learn a lot finishing the Metal body for that Dino.
