I have an Instagram account - timspfd - but I know that some people don't do Instagram. I am going to cross post here images that have so far only been there. I usually take them with my tablet, and have reformatted some of them with photo software for posting here since Instagram insists on square images.
First up is today's post - two custom figures I did for use with the western Train Engine 21. The torso of the Engineer is from Series 17 hobo carpenter guy, and the torso on the other one is from one of the Milka figures as seen in (and pretty much stolen from) a Tahra custom a while back.

I am going to go ahead an post a few back images here to get caught up.
I finally got my hands on the Victorian Photographer and got to thinking about all the other cameras I have accidentally collected as I was getting other things over the years. So I did two images of my camera collection. First here is Photo Op

Those are awesome Tiermann! Love the train guy from that odd figure torso! Might steal that one :love:
(the torso of the other one was originally from the Roncalli truck clown)
Thank you for sharing - I am one of the "don't do instagram people"..

The last one for today is a picture of my main Figure Collection shelf showing a mix of exclusives, customs from friends, and a few stock figures that I really like or are rare.

As soon as I saw both of those torsos I immediately thought old time trains. I got the suspenders torso in a group of the same from Malta so have a few more, but they all have the purple shorts that aren't terribly useful.
-
I love those train figures, Tim.
-
Great pictures, Tim!
I like the camera collections, showing how PM photographers and film/TV camera operators have evolved.
Nice Bluebells, ours have just come out too.
That last picture shows a great collection of many special figures. I think you showed us a similar one a little while ago, but it's always interesting to see what other collectors actually do with their collections!
-
Thanks for posting these for us humble noninstagrammarians! Beautiful shots! :love:
-
Thanks for sharing, Tiermann! The train figures are spot-on and the overview of different cameras provides an interesting perspective into the evolution of Playmobil.
Your collection shelf is a sight to behold! The bobbies with the lightpole are an eyecatcher. If you don't mind me asking: how is your 4430 holding up? Mine is botched.
-
My original 4430 Golden Knight is pretty tarnished at thus point. I think handling or air exposure causes it to tarnish up. I have a second one I bought slightly used that is locked away in a zip lock bag that seems to be doing better at holding the golden shine.
-
Cool pics, Tim! Thanks for sharing. :)
(I don´t instagram either)
-
Good morning Tim :wave:
Loving the pictures especially the one with the cameras and the Bluebell Bunny :love:
Stay safe and well dear Friend :)
-
Great pictures, Tim! I don't have Instagram - therefore thank you so much for posting this here!
I agree with everyone: that torso is perfect for old time trains. :love:
Your Collection shelf is amazing, great to see so many great klickys together! I love those custom Knights.
I wish I had the Forest Spirit and the Hunter, both are such beautiful figures.
I was happy to see the easter-egg-vikings, though it is a recent set, I think it deserves the honor :)
Might I ask who is "Traveling Tim"? You mention PCC, but I think I never saw that figure...
Thanks again for sharing! :wave:
-
Tim is the figure in green with the camera. The PCC did an event where we mailed a copy of the figure around the world to members who took photos with it in their own locations. Afterwards all the participants got a copy of the figure to keep.
-
Thanks, I didn't know that. It sounds a bit like Amélie Poulain! I wish PCC was still here...
-
Liking that railroad crew, Tim!
-
Hi all, two more sets of pictures I have posted over there.
First up is an overview of my small parts boxes. Just lots of Playmobil loose small pieces, in bins.

and then we had a nice day and my wisteria is blooming so i did a couple of pictures of Wisteria Fairies

That's it for recent updates. :)
-
So that's where all the spare parts are... :lens:
Nice flower pics! Klickies need fresh air from time to time.
-
Love those pics :)
Your treasure box and fire box resemble mine (in terms of contents ;) )
And beautiful photos with the flowers too :love:
-
What lovely outside pictures of Wisteria Fairies.
-
Great pictures of your spares boxes, Tiermann. Some great parts there!
-
Wonderful pictures, thank you for sharing, Tim!
Lovely flowers with matching figures :love:
You have so many great parts on your spare boxes. Everything so perfectly organised, I love that. Ready to place where needed, e.g. on your next great Christmas diorama ;)
The spare boxes with moveable compartments are very useful. I have some of those, but it seems I could always need more. But then I guess I would rearrange everything, only to realise I need more boxes... :-[
I also separate many similar parts on little plastic bags, it's not so practical, but it helps find what I need.
P.S.: the food-boxes are definitely my favourite to look at. But now I'm hungry ;D
-
Yes i have lots of bigger bins full of plastic bags of things. The swords box looks almost empty to me because I had all small weapons there for a long time, but finally moved the projectile weapons into a bigger bin in Ziploc bags by type.
