Just a little furnishing accessory ...
-
It's so perfect! Are you going to share your secrets with us, and tell us how you made it?
-
It is indeed perfect, and the picture on the wall is great too.
-
I am always amazed at the detail in your scenes! It appears to be an actual full sized model, not based on the 2 3/4" figures in Playmo world. BTW excellent creation!

Thank you for the praise! :D

Sure ;) but be prepared: it's less elaborate than you might think.
The "naked" item is taken from the PlayBig 5940-8 school set (http://www.claudia-schott.de/PlayBig/playbig.htm) (cf. at the bottom of this hyperlink page). The stand is painted with crome spray, the earth is airbrushed in blue and the land is painted with a brush according a real globe.
So it's less a great masterpiece but maybe a nice idea. I'm thinking about making such a globe item completely from scratch because at this one I don't like the strict vertical axis of the stand what is absolutely untypical for real globes.

Thanks. The pic was quite handy for this setup and was still laying around from another picture I have taken (cf. below). Currently I'm working on the re-launch of my Web (actually only a new layout with new contributions) and the new layout has an illustrative picture part on each page. So I took the photo below for the "Photo Gallery". And because in the globe setup the wall was empty I just put the next best pic I got into my hand to the wall, and voila.

Ok, thanks, then I must admit that I reached my goal ;D I always try to setup a "real" model world with as much as possible details to make the model world even become an atmosphere of the real world.

Hello Little Jo :),
As allways you keep raising the standards when it comes to setting model scene's. You are a true master at it and i have to say i take some of my inspiration from your work. No matter how hard i try to set the ideal scene, i allways end up missing something out :-[. You on the other hand don't and that's why your scenes are so good :wow:. I really like the globe, the scale is spot on :wow:. What else are you going to come up with next ? I don't know but whatever it is i can't wait to see it :wow:

Hi Little Jo, I have an idea regarding your globe. Have you considered cutting the base off of the stand, repositioning it to the proper angle, & reattaching it? You have done such an excellent job with it so far, I was thinking this would save you from having to do it all over again from scratch! Just a suggestion.

Thank you for the praise to all of you. Makes me a little bit embarrassed :-[ but an the other hand I'm glad that my works seems to produce happyness and "admiration". Thank you.
You are a true master at it and i have to say i take some of my inspiration from your work.
Oh really :-[ Didn't know that people look that closely to my work, and I thought it's only a short "pleasure" looking at.
Well, seems that everybody got his/her inspiration from somewhere else; I got mine from the (early) works of Sylvia.
What else are you going to come up with next ? I don't know but whatever it is i can't wait to see it :wow:
I have perpared quite several stuff for the rescue theme and the police theme. Also some view little "items" for the fire fighter theme, but for this one I'm not sure if I should postpone pulication untill the (hopefully) fire rescue theme update mid/end of next year is comming out.

Yes, I also had this idea but hisitate so far, because touching the crome stand to much makes the crome "glance" move away. I'm annoyed about myself not having made a cast before painting this item. So I could have reproduce more of them and also could have used one cutting and rearranging. (Same for the halves)

Yes, indeed it's quite rare but I got it some day quite cheap on eBay. (And I think this rarity is also the reason why I didn't cut the stand so far.)

Now I have to wait for TWO fire theme "excitements" - the new Playmobil range and Jochen's customs!

Not there is a custom that playmobil sure should have done on their own . To think how educatonal a earth for the class room and it could have had other uses as well like a Nautical or Navigational globe
