Title: Custom 3716
Post by: Bas on January 01, 2014, 13:44:12
I want to show you a custom 3716 (steck farmhouse) look-a-like.

The farm theme was the first theme were I started gathering vehicles.
I did not had the €€€€ for buying a farmhouse, but my Grandpa made a replica!!
He created this in 1998~1999. Whiles only having a few photographs from the 3716 and the tractor for the size reference.

In 2000 a newer version of the theme was released. By then I became the system-X farmhouse.
I build that one up and placed it next to the Replica. This gives you all an idea of the size of it.

Garage view

The Garage is way wider than the official playmobil steck/system-X.

compared to system-X.........

In fact the Replica is high enough for the harvester......

....but the doors not wide enough.....

A pretty the doorhandle are placed a bit high... making it hard for clickys to reach =(

Originaly there should have been build a shed next to the building.... just like the orginal where there is a cow stable

(http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae322/Suptopfirst/P1010582_zps5fa702ff.jpg)

But that would have been very difficult to make because I had no cows for example to show my grandpa...
So we ended up having just an extra entry door.

Scenery System-X

I realy can't imagine why Geobra doesnt make any look-a-like orginal farm house, the latest farm is crap.
Even the tractor price's goes up to 45€ !!! thats crazy why are they not offering a simple tractor.
And selling a bit of those trailer separate, look at mine red one, simple as hell. but practical.... can even be combined with the construction theme.
