This is a co-operation between a secret western collector and myself ;D
We made a wild west town in which we could use some of our recent buys (farm house, church).
This time I wanted a neutral backdrop instead of my living room furniture :) So we used some white sheets - it's not perfect, but I'm not a photoshopper.
Hope you like it! We had a lot of fun putting it together :cowboy:

Excellent diorama, great job on the interiors too - look both accurate and lived in.

Great dio - loved the details, like the wood pile on the porch! (and I saw the new pony :love: )
-
Oh wow, that looks wonderful! Some great well-furnished buildings there. LOVE the store, and the farmhouse. :love: I want it! Lots of nice details, very good job. :)
Btw, is that a black baby with white clothes!? I never saw that before, is it custom?
-
Brilliant I really like the set up te speckled dog is cool and I really like the farm with the little boy climbing the tree some particularly nice touches there, like the mine bit as well with all the cacti :)
-
Is that covered wagon a custom painted PM ?

:thanks: Thank you all very much for the comments, we're very happy you liked it :)
@ Jrodmobil: Western is definitely worthwile to collect, since the theme is very well varied and playmobil has been releasing sets right from the beginning up 'till now in very good quality.
The wagon and the spotted dog are from the early 1980's 3660: a playmobil color set. I can't take credit for painting it :lol: When I was around 8 years old, my neighbours gave me their old collection of PM and there was a lot of PM color in there.

This is a picture I got from the internet, I never had the box. Strangely enough, the box shows a white wagon cover, but inside there was a beige one.
@ Bonniebeth: Yes it's the baby from the Colorado Springs station, but I changed the yellow body. When I was young, I had no idea that the black baby was so rare. So one fine morning I just pulled the head out, basically :-[ Luckily that method proved to be quite safe.

great paint job on that dog. :)
-
Thanks for the info Birdie on the wagon. I still have A LOT to learn with Playmobil, but it's worth it!

Yeah, I did stuff to playmobil when I was a kid that i really wish I hadn't now that its so rare. But at least you've still got a black baby, undamaged!

Great looking town you and your secret partner created. I like all the touches you put in. It must be a prosperous town with all that fancy furniture ;)
Great dio - loved the details, like the wood pile on the porch! (and I saw the new pony :love: )
I too saw that wood right away and now want to order way more from DS, as for the pony, :whip: all the ones I have will be in the slaughter house >:D
-
Very nice settings, I like the look of the interiors.
I see the bar from the saloon is lacking, but that one should become available again to order from DS.

I take notice of other couples on here, because there aren't many! I think you two and me and Chris are the only active couples for a long time. Oh, and Tim_w and his fiance. Anyway, it was really nice to see another collaborative effort!
