Hello World!
« on: March 15, 2013, 23:19:48 »
Hi,
my name is Bernd and I live in Germany close to Dortmund.

Soon after starting to play with my son with Lego and Playmobil I realized that both toy worlds were similar in some areas but they were totally different from each other when it came to the possibility of adding 3rd party accessories to the play.

Playmobil was way behind in nearly every aspect when it came to boys play which include several areas like additional and different bodies, heads, armor, shields, weapons and so on.

After doing some extensive search on the internet I realized that only some enthusiast made their own stuff to enhance the Playmobil arena for their own dioramas and/or customized figures. But unfortunately I could not buy any accessories to add it to my own Klickys.

After thinking about this for a while I realized that I would like to fill that gap and try some things on my own. The final goal will be to produce injection molded weapons in areas where Playmobil on there own cannot go because of the own internal restrictions.

You can see and follow my project under plasticlabs.wordpress.com as well as on Facebook under http://www.facebook.com/bernd.peck where I posted some of my 3d printed weapons in the last days and started a group called "Playmobil Army".

By invited to follow my project if you like and post comments what you think.

Welcome from Portugal!

I saw some of your work before too - loved the latest machineguns, but white would not do for me...

Hallo Bernd! Pleased to see you here too! Guys, it's thanks to Bernd that I started making my own 3D prints! He even went farther than me, he bought a 3D printer!
Bernd, I love your work!  :)

Hi Bernd, welcome from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Hope you have a good time over here. I saw on your Facebook account a link to "The Green Man", that a fantastic comic! You might like my comic as well (not so professional as The Green Man, but made with all my love) that's called  "The Story of Randolph". Just click on the links in my signature for parts one to three. Part four you can find in the board Story Telling. :wave:
