Interesting display, I too would like to see some close-ups, if possible?
Very noticable are the 3940 & 4290 frigates/galleons and the 3740 schooner from the pirates themes you incorporated into your diorama...
Wouldn´t the older (in age and in historic looks) 3550/3750-ships work better for a medieval setting, or didn´t you have those on hand?

What are those knights doing in the water though? ;)

I assume that is a display of customised real historical Swedish knights?


Completely different topic, but also very interesting is the real fighterjet in the background, a retired Saab JAS-37 "Viggen"!  8-)
Is the jet complete? Or is it only the front section with radar-dome, cockpit and the "canard"-wings? I can´t see the rest of the fusalage, the main wings and tailfin from that angle. The ceiling certainly looks like it is situated in an aircraft-shelter...

:) thanks everyone much appreciated.

To sort some things out. this was my first fair and what i believe the first time a swedish audience could see something from playmobile like this.
i had no idea what to expect and was afraid that no one would even look at my diorama. thats why i used those new manufactured ships so the kids could regonize the ships and understand that it was playmobile.

regarding the figures in the ocean :) alot of people actually commented about them standing in the ocean. i had them there just to show off my specials figures, swedish knights and the figures from game of thrones.

Regarding viggen, yes full size viggen :) together with other swedish aircrafts like gripen and tunnan. the fair was in a aeroseum showing swedish military history.

Looked great, a harbour always adds something extra.

What was the general impression from the public?
