Another castle from my 2 boys ..
« on: February 12, 2009, 06:56:33 »
This was from last fall, we had a long weekend and I left the 2 boys (5 & 8 then) alone for a couple of hours in the toy room ... kind of fun/fantasy when dad's into a little PM collecting himself and there's all these pieces ;D
Setup was created mainly for the 'massive' battle scene rather than castle design, or so I was told ...

Looks like a busy afternoon's work!

I like the broken wall sections where the front door would have been - shame Playmo haven't done these in System-X yet. I guess I could create one with a bit of cutting...

I wonder how long they took to make the castle?

Nicely done!  A good afternoon's work I should think and then lots of good play time.   :)

And are the broken walls genuine Playmo, or are they a bit of custom cutting?

Very nice castle and battle scene your two have put together there . That is exactly what my boys do , battle, battle, battle  :lol: The castle usually do not last long enough to get a picture though  8}

That looks really nice. Must have been a lot of fun.

Is it really a toy room or more a Playmo room? I'm thinking in my box as I used to have a playroom which now is more of a Playmo room. The only non Playmo items are our hamsters and their cages.

Looks more like a 'Blue' room, they did do a nice job though.

Nicely done  :wow:! Their attention to detail is excellent! Does it come naturally for them?

Wow, great setup. I especially like the big crack the attacking party has created into the castle's walls.

Thanks all for the kind words - and they have made the 2 kiddos quite happy  :)

I'll post a shot of the room later on when I get it packed a little - fwiw the room's intended purpose is as a guest room (yeah right  ;)) with a roll-out sofa bed, doubling up as the play room at other times with the 2 fold-away tables (let's see, Playmobil (lots), Lego (behind the cupboards and in containers), Board games, and misc stuff).
