Brilliant!
I am in awe of this man.. one of the few 'childhood' (well, teenhood) heros still alive.
Would love to visit his layout, and perhaps meet the man himself.

Excellent - I well remember Bob's series of modelling programmes when I was in my teens, a great influence on me at the time - I seem to recall he did a short series on Wargaming as well, thus he covered most of my hobbies at that age! Being of Austrian (aristocratic) descent, he is obviously fluent in German as shown by his un-dubbed narration of the show in the link. In fact I recall that in his TV shows he was usually credited as Bob Symes-Schutzmann.
