Title: Salutations from California
Post by: peaches1104 on July 18, 2010, 21:42:07

Hi everyone!

I received the Victorian mansion one Christmas MANY years ago. To this day I thank my parents and let them know what a win that year was, as I'm still playing with the house regularly - fifteen years later. My love for Playmo was limited to what sets I had for my dollhouse and the sets I wanted that I saw on the box. After discovering the wonder that is Ebay a few years back I started rounding up more sets and came to acquire a combination of many themes. I'm a med student and the prospect of having my own hospital to study for exams tickles me pink.

Beyond collecting, I'm just starting to play with the notion of customizing and painting pieces the way I want them to look. I've got three massive projects I'm planning and gearing up to start working on them. It'll be great to hear about all of your own techniques and stories with such a fabulous set of toys.

Welcome from South Carolina, peaches1104! I'm in the process of assembling the 4404 hospital set with 6 additions currently, & hopefully will be posting a photo story of the final project! I have found a neighbors granddaughter that has been converted from LEGO to Playmobil to assist in the assembly which has taken her 5 full days of hard work so far! We look forward to seeing your collection & contributions!

Hi Peaches! :wave:

I'm a big fan of the Victorian series too. They were my first proper introduction to Playmobil about 10 years ago. Your parents obviously made a very wise decision when buying the dollshouse for you. :)

Happy to have you here with us at PlaymoFriends and look forward to reading more from you in the future when you are not too busy with your studies. :)

Welcome from Pennsylvania, Peaches.  I like the Victorian theme also, but my eyes have been opened to the wonder of all the other themes since I started reading the topics shared here.  Playmobil is so addictive!   ;D  Have a great time with your projects, I am looking forward to seeing them.

welcome peaches, from san francisco.  you will absolutely love this forum family, there are so many great projects to see, and everyone is so helpful, but beware when you see all of the wonderful things everyone does with these simple little klickies and all of their accessories, your wallet is doomed.  by the way, i built a medical center, here is the link to my post: 
my medical center, first view:  http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2785.msg32159#msg32159

i had been collecting parts and pieces of the medical theme for years, but it took this forum to get me started with the actual building.  now it is a great excuse to buy more things for the addition of more floors, etc.   by the way, that is me in the OR getting ready to hang the blood.

Hello

Welcome to the forum from Sonoma County. I did not catch were in CA you are but we are in the wine county. The story of your present still being enjoyed to this day is a great testament to how well made and what a wise investment Playmobil really is .
