Title: Medieval village.
Post by: Erik on April 10, 2013, 08:54:01

Hi all!
I made a little "Medieval diorama" yesterday,  a little medieval village consisting of a few houses and a "keep".
Everytime I do something like this it strikes me that the older Playmobil figures had so much "character"...Ah well, those were the days I guess...
Anyway, I hope you like my little medieval party animals! ;)

Great diorama you set up. Whats not to be happy about, no war, plenty of ale and the bread is hot out of the oven.

Very nice I've gotta agree with you a lot of the older figures did seem to have good character to them as you've shwon I like the signs on the buildings and the feast on the benches with overflowing tankards of ale what a lovely quiet little place  :)

Seems like a nice place to be yes, a place for the soldiers at the keep to protect and keep safe.  :)

The blacksmith shoppe you have - did you put it together out of spare parts?  Or did you get an early DS release?

Awesome!  Yours looks just as good as theirs - if not better with the walls with the small upper windows in. 

I have a large number of medieval buildings myself and I have found that they look nice with the complete roofs, but the fact you cannot access the interiors really is not good at all (especially for children as they end up just taking the end pieces off).  I have decided to order a bunch of roofs with the opening on one side and then on the other side with the dormer window openings to put the windows and chimneys on. 

I do not want to use an open back for the houses because each of the gable ends on the old houses is unique.

Thank you all-too bad there seem to be no more mediëval "civilians" in the making from Playmobil itself... :(
