WOW :o! I like the set up PM did for the entire display  :wow:! The different level enclosures are a true advantage to get more out of a small area! Did the designer use add on foliage or is everything used actually from the theme sets, Richard  ????

Did they "add" foliage? ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/dunno.gif)

Bill, do you really want me to count ALL the plants in the photos ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/breakmeup.gif)

I'd be nice... :lol:
I too enjoy the display, it really does compact the amount of space they could have used...
and looks really great!

Of course  :hmm:! It may be the factor to convince me to purchase these sets, making Playmobil more profit,....thus keeping them manufacturing more toys :lol:!

Thank you very, very, very, very, very, much, Richard, for your considerate research to my question :)9! I appreciate your efforts very, very, very, very much :yup:! I have decided to put these sets on my want list when they arrive here due to your humble research ;)! BTW, which one is the added culprit?

Rob, someone must have finally told them, "Elephant's trunk up ... good luck! Elephant's trunk down ... bad luck!" ...  :klickygrin:

However, picture #2 is rather phallic ...  :o

Thanks for posting the new zoo pictures, Richard.  They are very

I like the little round huts a lot...

Where I come from, back in the day we would use the spare to replace the worst of the 4 tires contacting the ground so a spare was not never sold with the vehicle, & no one ever checked to see if the spare was even there! Now a days you get those miniature spare tire wannabees for space saving that are an expensive ripoff!

I was hoping they would be a bit larger and more of a complete hut instead of just half of a structure.  Still, I'll probably try and buy a few for my Celtic/British hill fort.

Yes yes yes!
I was looking for good houses to put in a Motte and Baily fort aswell, those will do very well.
Thanks Justindo!

A motte and bailey castle would be be quite impressive to see.  I've never seen a Playmobil version of one, but it could be done.

Looks like GW-PC may have invaded PF ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/horsey.gif)

For those of you who do not know what a "motte and bailey" castle is click HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey) or HERE (http://www.teachnet.ie/mmorrin/norman/homes.htm).

Playmobil made a part to connect the log palisade to the Steck stone wall. It was only (as far as I know) in set 3028 Eagle Rock.

Yes, A friend of mne has alot of those pieces and I was hoping to buy them off him or something.
I think they were in a few of the western forts aswell.
I would like to use those,
but seeing as my friend is unlickely to give them up easily I will have to use other resources.

Wonder why Geobra gave it a different number?

Thanks again and all the best,

That may be explained by a difference in color.  According to PlaymoDB the one from 3028 is "brown" while the one from 3634 is "dark brown."   :)

Hey, Richard, you've got to stop beating yourself over the head like that!  At our age we need to preserve as many brain cells as possible!   :lol:

Anyway, regarding that part, it is a pretty subtle color difference - not really obvious from the photos.   :)

Once a man was telling his class that he had been hit on the head with an ax...
"Right when the head is opened to the air, you get a lovely feeling breeze.
It bloody hurts, but, that breeze..." ;D

You reminded me a little of that..... :lol:

Thought you'd never ask, Bill ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/whistle.gif)

First ... The additional smileys were "borrowed" from Klickywelt (http://www.klickywelt.de/) and Playclicks (http://www.playclicks.com/playforos/) ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/club.gif)

Second ... Perhaps we should ask Sylvia if there's a limit on how many smileys (emoticons) we can have with the program used by PlaymoFriends?

All the best,
Richard
