Hi,

 

My name is John van Hooijdonk and I live in a small town called Gemert in the southern part of the Netherlands near Eindhoven. I was born on September 18th 1964, which makes me 46 y.o.

My favourite subject in modelling is WWII allied stuff, specially the Sherman. I will post some of my work in the near future....

 

All the best, John.

Welcome to the forum, John!

I am now retired, but my last employer was Philips, and I made two trips to your country to visit our plants in Eindhoven.  It was a very interesting thing for me to see Europe for the first time.  I was amazed to see how many bicycles there were, parked at the train station!  I had rented a car, and was definitely in the minority regarding transportation!  (Couldn't go from Schippol airport to Eindhoven on a bicycle, of course.)  I enjoyed visting your country and seeing how different it was from my home in America.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
