Title: Giorginettos Medieval Collection
Post by: Giorginetto on February 15, 2010, 19:06:11
First of all for the moderators apologies for having this post elsewhere too and messing up some of my prev posted pictures . i am having some problems with photobucket at the moment , i would suggest to remove my prev thread all together regarding pres set pictures and kings quarters etc etc .. my apologies ..

Well, here are the latest pictures . Clearly separated the kings quarters and the barracks and then the city. Space is a problem , wil have to remove all this castle and place in my storage room after i buy all these large tables . still to do , the vikings place , the dragons castle. i have plenty of steck left , i estimnate i need another 6 steck down in the city area to put all the klickies and carts, animals in . not sure about the barracks size we shall see .. I have seriously  run out of space as you can see  :'( :'( :'(. I doubt i will set the klickies now. They are all separated by type and all the furnishings , animals separated   etc . i have to clear the flat i have set all these very soon so i reckon will break this set in large prts and then re set it properly in my starage room which is dust free etc etc and then set all the klickies in , all of them !!! ( about 1100 mediaval ones ...)  . I am pleased i had more toasts and steck fortifications that i thought . lol i just bought another 200 toasts ... anyways hope you like the pictures  :). Still to come the bell tower i bought , will put in the centre of the town i reckon...

Great city, Giorginetto, and I look forward to seeing more of it.  Once it's in its own room, everyday cleaning in the rest of your home will be much easier and less dangerous for your collection.

WOW !!!  :wow: :wow: :wow:

And, I thought that I had a lot of Steck. My collection pales compared to yours!

Do you have enough Klickys to "populate" your medieval city, Giorginetto?

Are you thinking at all about the possibility of "lighting" your city?

Fantastic collection!

All the best,
Richard

Thanks !!! i have to move the lot to my storage room very soon as I  have work to do in this property etc etc . Still have lots of steck left i must say maybe around 100 fortified walls , 2 barons towers, couple of houses and the green dragons temple set ( which i adore ) , a total of about 1100  i think mediaval klickies , round 150 mediaval city ones, that should be enought i guess... i doubt i will be setting the klickies in this room , will do it all at the storage rooom found plastic tables of 180cm x 90cm for 25 euros each , thats pretty good i think and  green thin carpet ( like the pool table ) at a bargain price so will be getting some of these i guess ....  :).. lighting up the city is A FANTASTIC IDEA and once i set it all up in the storage will serioysly give it some thought ...i guess xmas tree ligths do the trick best ?? any posts/ ideas/ tips on the subject ???

Hi Giorginetto

This is turning out to be quite a city :o. Every time you do some work to the castle you say you have more waiting or piled somewhere  :hmm: . Your supply of stecks is quite wonderful to see put to such splendid work. It looks like so far you have kept to a realistic medieval time building limitations.  Unlike some recent pictures I have seen for some reason keeping a castle logical in its layout to me looks better.

Thank you for continuing to share your progress

The "logical layout" as Raputin put it, is historically accurate.
There weren't any castles with giant towers streaching miles high,
They were what this castle looks like.
Simple rectangle structure, but easily defendable.
Props for historical accurate-ness!
(Not that I dont enjoy the fantasy castles, they look great to!)

And I have to agree, that is alot of steck! I wish I had that much! :o

The Marksburg, a genuine Medieval German Castle dating back to 1100

Castles had to fit into the landscape they are defending, so they are rarely rectangular. Of the dozens of castles and walled cities I've visited, I can't think of one that was a pure rectangle.

Hi Martin

I guess I have not looked at a lot of castle pictures and blue prints. It would be neat if somebody would take real castles and blue print them out for using stecks. My wife is studying landscape architecture maybe I could use her stuff to do it  ???

The picture of the first castle, how many stories is it ? It looks like 6-ish . I did not know they could go so high back then  :hmm:. I understand how the building need to fit into the location but what if the location was flat, similar to a valley floor like Giorginetto's location ?

i have increased the height of the front round towers by anotherr level in the city , build the church ( dont like it much ..) and now building the dragons knights castle. pictures to follow asap. In response to what Rasputin you said about steck i am trying to use them all in the best way i can .. not an easy task i must say but i am enjoying it . There is never enought steck i say ... :)

Are you going to plant any trees inside your walled city?

At the moment, it looks like your city may have been built in the middle of a desert ...  :klickygrin:

The first thing a castle builder does is pick a good defensible spot, so you don't get Medieval castles on flat easily accessible valley floors. It's too easy to beseige and drive siege engines right up to the walls. If there's a hill or rocky outcrop big enough, build on top of that (e.g. Edinburgh Castle and Bamburgh Castle). Even Bronze and Iron age hill forts are, aham, built on hills. If there's a spring or water source inside the castle, so much the better.

If you can have a river or sea close by the castle walls that also limits the attackers' options. A moat is just a way of artificially creating that waterlogged area where siege engines and troops can't go so easily. You could also bring supplies into a castle more easily via water than over land.

The first of those two castles I showed is fairly modern, built in the 19th century as a fantasy castle, and the one that inspored the Disney castle. If you ever see a castle in a valley, it wasn't built with defense in mind.

It'd be neat to be able to create more accurate castles, based on real blueprints, from steck, but very few castles have absolutely flat walls. If they'd made a couple of angled corner connectors, we could get closer to reality.

Couldnt agree more. I didnt want to create round tower monsters of say 5+ levels or buildings with over 4-5 levels . I gave a lot of thought to the idea of having the walls 2 level high as there are at the back of the castle but i think that would make the whole lot look more unrealistic but it would definitely be very fortified !!! want to take pictures of the 4 siege towers attacking though and lots of ladders etc so i guess keeping the walls at that level is more playmo realistic in my opinion. i have used pretty much all of my steck  now  :'( :'( :'(, I realise i could do with some more to build a monastery and more trees !!! I need more trees big time  :love: :love: :love: , that forrest of mine will look like a planted pot int he middle of a big room me reckons... :-[ :-[ :-[.  Next is to build the vikings place with the 4 drakkars , they will have to go to another room and so do the forrest wit the magic klickies and the robin hood company!!!

I am sorry for generalising what castles look like, they really are unique.
But weren't those types of castles usually in the Northern parts of Europe like in Scotland?
Many of the castles in the Holy Land were more rectangular and less "towery".

A great job with the newest additions to your castle Giorinetto!
I really like the dragon castle too!
Really? Is that all the steck you have?  ;)

Hi Giorginetto, your medieval city is really fantastic.  :wow: Junior and I also love the green dragon's castle - he now wants the dragons temple!   ::)

How are you going to move it all? - I'd leave it there - just get rid of the furniture! ;D

I am sorry for going a little off topic here... I just want to clarify something.
I find it hard to put words on paper, they seem to get lost somewhere in my brain just when I want to use them. ::) :doh:
When I say rectangular, I do not mean a rectangle.
Thought that is the only logical thing I could mean, I am far from a logical thinker. :P
When I say rectangle I really mean to say "Simple Geometric Shape"
Like a pentagon, or octogon. Not actually a rectangle.
Sorry for the confusion, I will try to speak more clearly next time.

You could be right about Crusader and Islamic castles, my knowledge of castles is limited to the United Kingdom, The Republic of Ireland, and a few I've seen in Portugal. If the landscape doesn't have a hill then of course you can't build on one (excepting the Motte and Bailey as mentioned before).

I've visited an Islamic castle built in Portugal, and it was built on a hill. The few castles I've visited which were not on a hill had some other obvious defensive feature, like being surrounded by water on one or more sides.

I'd like to do a study of UK castles and see howe many were built on a hill, but I'd guess at least 80% of them.

All the playmobil have to go to a storage room about 80km away. thats the reason i havent set up all the klickies , i am contemplating if i should set them up now , take some pics and after a few days pack the lot or simply now break the walls in big parts , and then move it al in boxes and bags  and then set it all up in the storage room ,  have done it before , needs to be extra carefull but it is possible. the flat htey are currently set will be emptied in the next few weeks so my next steps wil be to buy larget tables first and then move it all in the storage area . I am waiting for some more toasts and a blue house ( they are awesome) and contempl,ating i f i should buy more steck , i am thinking of creating a coupl emore castles similar in size to the green dragons. then again there are the new dragon sets.... awwwww... dunno what to do ...  ??? ??? :love: :love: ??? ??? :love: :love:... i also cant wait to set up all the pirates, i have never done it , i have 10 m pirate ships inc 3 cannon galleons and really want to se this lit armada one day ....

My knowledge is very limited also , have seen a few in UK ( where i was till last year) and a few in Greece. The design i really want to do is to build a Byzantine like castle , that is with lots of square towers , creating a lot of angles at the walls for bowmen  etc etc  with tall towers at the corners and then gates at all corners, similar in principle to the castle/ city i have put together , what would be the addition though is a second sourrouding wall ie walls within walls and the central kings castle ( if possible ) slightly elevated . The idea of having two sets of walls with soldiers in between , carts, catapults is very appealing but  i have estimated i need twice as much at least of steck of what i have now .... and thats a lot of steck people... would look awesome though to have two full walls around a city and then an acropolis at the middle ...  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good question, Giorginetto! ...  8}

And, as Ras said in another topic ...



 "Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one"

Rasputin "The Mad Monk"


So, here's my opinion and advice ...  :klickygrin:

Break it ALL up. Put it in storage. Leave it there until you're ready to move everything to your new room. In the meantime, enjoy all the pictures that you've taken.

Then, when it's time to set everything up in your new room, you'll be looking at everything with "fresh" eyes. You will do new things with your Steck that you hadn't even thought about before. (You will probably have collected more Steck parts in the interim which will also give you new ideas.)

My Playmobil has been moved all over North America. And, each time we moved I've had to pack it all up. When the boxes were opened at the new location, it was like Christmas! And, each time my Playmo-room has gotten better and better.

Martin and Ras are both going through this now (and Gordon just went through a move), so I'm sure that they will also have their opinions and their advice to share with you.

Have fun!

All the best,
Richard

Hi

Just play with the stuff. I have been tearing castles down, saving them, waring with them, getting more in the mail and having fun doing it. Every time I put one down in a new area I dream up more things to do with them. I never box them up. I am a out of sight out of mind type, short attention span, ADD, and everything else in the book. My addiction to stecks only has me set up to look for more and use it (I am currently always looking for what are referred to in the DB as "House Foundations, 1 & 3 units long).

What would be interesting to do is put this  castles & (just because I remember the name) Nevling at battling each other. Then in Playmobil we could see how great these castles and their locations are. I am sure somebody at GWG has some sort of rules  :**:  I would even try my luck at designing a fortification.

was at the storage room today, took some measures etc . i also had a look at all the boxes klickes there , my old 80s stuff, the western and the pirates and romans ... next for me is to buy the tables and then i will hire a small van and break the castle in the biggest parts possible ,wrapped in bubble wrap  and then put them all in th evan and unload it all in the storage area , then set it all up on the tables.  decided now, some more pictures to follow of the vikings and ( if i buy them after all) of the new dragon sets, they do look awesome these dragons etc etc !!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

A very interesting idea .... I really cant wait to have it all set in the storage room and take pictures of a castle invasion with the 4 siege towers, all the ladders etc etc .. I know of this famous castle Nevling, i think everyone who know playmobil has seen its amazing pictures, my lit castle pales in comparison,  :-[.......

... bought more steck today , another 20 wall pieces and enough pieces and floors to put another level to all 6 round towers i have, all together i am waiting in the post  for 80 walls , 40 single stands on walls  with the brown intermediates and  80 two side connectors etc etc . reckon so i have enough steck now to create a bigger and better and especially more complex castle than the one i have shown prev. Expect to have the new one set in its new and permanent home in 4-6 weeks. By then , probably more steck wil be added to reinforce my architectural limited capabilities and make something more detailed .  ;D ;D.. will probably buy some more houses also, never enough steck but also never enough houses !!! Alas.... 8} 8} 8} 8}

Hello Guys

I buy all Playmobil from ebay at the moment. Apart from the official add ons i havenbt bought anything from playmobil greece. when i was in the uk I used to buy lots of items by playmobil. For example i bought lots of items to build a complete area with two emperor stands and entrances and seats all round ( i have set it up yet !!!) . All the recent houses ( about 18  :lol: :lol: :lol:) and steck i buy from big playo sellers on ebay !!!! I cant wait to set it all with my new steck. !!!!

Is there an address i can write a letter or sent an email to playmobil where i cqan ask for various part numbers to buy . for example i need lotds of these mediaval door parts to open and close them , cant find any on ebay so can i write to playmobil germany to buy these along with other items i want  and if yes ( i have only written to uk in the past ) please please whats the email or address ??? Many thanks!!
PS  On ebay one can buy say 40 steck walls at one go , kinda pricey but well save time and overall transport costs if you buy small quantities at a time !!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

If you go to the Add Ons page of the German Playmo catologe there will be the information you are looking for at the bottom...
At least that is the way it is in the US cataloge.

Really looking forward to seeing your new castle in a couple of months, Georginetto!

Are you going to show us your "work in progress", or wait until you're finished?

I like to think showing the ' work in progress' is more interesting to all , with lots of pictures of course. My next set up will be all the mediaval sets , town and klickies ( over  a 1000 in total ..) and the barons castel set, the vikings , the magic forest and robin's company and everything mediaval i have. i have never set everything before so i am pretty excited. in the process of packign everything right now, klickies and items are separated in bags , many of them to keep things separate such as weapons, treasures, horses etc etc . The caste will be broken into big pieces and i will attempt to wrap the kings quarters in one piece and everything will go in bubble cover into big boxes , taped , sealed etc . my next task apart from completing packing and transport ( 3rd party ) will be to buy the tables though more inclined to go for bespoke measure thick cardboard with a good  table leg design of approx 90cm ( ??) and then cover the cardboard with green cloth as in pool tables. your table in the  :love: mediaval set  :wow: Richard is my benchmark actually , thats what i am talking about  :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

I am not sure cardboard will give you the stiffness you  need in table that sized Georginetto, if you want something lighter you might try rigid foam insulation panels but plywood would be best. Anxious to see what you come up with!  :wave:

You are absolutely right Gepetto.   :-[ I actually had plywood in mind and not cardboard but lost in translation i guess !!! cardboard wouldnt anywhere near withstand the weight . Really hope i manage to set it all up in 7 weeks and take pictures , youtube video etc etc  :wave: :wave:

Giorginetto by reading this thread I happily realise that I am not the only one in greece that loves playmobil (and steck castles) so much!!!
I tried setting up my medieval city last summer but did not have enough steck pieces, and by the end of september i had to tear everything down in order to move houses. I still have not found the time to start again...
You are doing a great job and I thank you for the inspiration! Hope you finally set the whole thing up and enjoy it for years to come!!!

I saw that auction too! :o
I was not actually thinking of buying it though...
As I am a little more intrested in buying klickies rather then more steck now...
(Just got a good deal for a 3667 steck castle with tons of klickies and accesories!)
Was too excited to take any pictures though,
Just ripped open the box (wasn't a playmo box) and expanded my castle... ::)

I am thinking of getting a 3666, but don't know what is and what isn't a good deal... ???
Perhaps a little advice? In dollars.

Oh, and I almost forgot to say...
Great buy! I hope you have fun using it to expand your castle!
(Or keep it how it is, whatever makes you happy. :) ) :wave:

Search ended ebay auctions for 3666 castles, you'll soon see what sort of price they're going for. Boxed sets usually command a premium, and the more complete the better of course.

Thanks, I agree its a nice addition to any mediaval city and the trangled top with the barn window makes a nice difference from the rest of the houses. I look forward to set my city up again now i am counting 34 houses ( excluding the kings qurters that have 16 rooms ) and my new purchases 6  round 5 storey towers  and 22 square towers and 6 lowering gates etc etc , really look forward to set it all up !!!  0). I am thinking of buying the old trainstation , taking off the black base , the clock in the attic window and replacing the internal ticket booth with some good old mediaval stuff !!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i think they keep minimum stock here in Greece .....  From what i have read previously here, Playmobil Greece doesnt take orders for specific items. So hpw does one in greece buys things like pikes, helmets, jousting spears, etc etc , from Playmobil Germany or where  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

was that wolf hat on the pyramid ?i think i have it  ye must be from there well for two figures it's not worth to pay 100 euros to buy the whole set can buy these only from ebay.you like the pyramide pano i guess you do??

Its not a wolf, its a dog, or better put, a jackal. For the ancient egyptians, Anubis was the god of mummification and protection of the dead for their journey into the afterlife....I love this set, and the sphinx very much!!! They carry a lot of symbolism!!!

I sm very tempted to buy egyptians but if i do like everything else has to do in quantity. tempted to either continue with mediaval or go western for  a bit with a touch of pirates. i want so many sets damn it !!!!  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Very tempted akso to buy 300 redcoats and after i set al mediaval to keep the castle and set all the pirates islands , ships and redcoats ( need some more, 300 is a good number !!!! )

But  most of the times i end up buying more steck and mediaval , its me No1 of all times !!!!  :love: :love: :love: :love:

Forest name.... Fangorn Forest.....  :D :D :D :D Just to point out its magic...

Tell me, did you get the trees and the lion knights from Playmobil Hellas DS Giorginetto? If so, didn't they freak out when you asked for all these? I tried asking for 10 x 7458 and a few other sets x20 or x30 and she sounded very freaked out, finally telling me she could only ship two or three from each...

I am not bothered abou the box, i have about 5 boxed sets never opened ( incl a western train ) and about 80 boxes kept. The think is i have all the museum parts except the board and the armour shiny,, this set has not the orginial in it but the non shiny version.. i am not usre its its worth to spnd 200euros on it or spent in more mediaval soldiers/ steck or i dare say some egyptians which i havent bought yet !!! need to have one of those pyramids etc etc etc , i am going to playmobil hellas again today , the klicky fever is on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wave:

Went to playmobil greece today , apart from picking 25x 7725 oak tree sets and 33 x 7664 Black Lion knights also bought the 7467 set of small animals with a smal pond and tree . i will be getting some more landscapes as with over 100 pine trees ( 37 of which are the 31cm large oak trees ) and a number of animals and rocks and mushrooms etc etc i reckon they will make a fine addition to my forest . Forest will have a magic part with fairies and elves , a dark magix part with the witches and wolfs and dead trees and also  the oka tree part with robin hood & company and then the main pine tree part with all the lovely animals and hunters . cant wait to show you pictures of the lot !!!!  :wave:

I bought the past few days the black sign and the ladder brown holders that were missing so i bought for a fairly good price ( still expensive ) a nice 3448 which was the LAST mediaval house i was missing ( now totalling 39 if i am right all together !!!0 , i really like the fact that this set had the klickies in it and having purchased the other bits ( ebay is great !!)i will have a complete 3448 set which is my second best after 3447 !!!! Cant wait to set it all up and show you people , some patience till late june/ early july when then i shall have all the set up ( boards ) ready to set on the klickies !!!  :)

Thank you !!!!! The 3448 is an essential set for my mediaval city and really pleased i finally bought a complete one ( well almost but have already bought the 3 missing bits already  from other sellers !!). Now i am contemplating to buy a museum  3449( and use it as something else in my mediaval city , a city / tax office  i was thinking ) or a train station  4300 ( which due to its size , type of roofing and arched make it a very nice set for any mediaval city !!! ) , watch this thread more purchases to come along . Never enough steck !!!!  :love: :love: :love: :love:

so there is 42 more soldiers out of which 14 knights to add to the dragon knights....  :love: :love:

These back knight remind me of the slayers in the Krull movie ( loved it when i was a kiddo !!!) and thats why i 'consider them the bad ones' in my set up. I have now about 38 of these knights .  :love:

In theory I agree, however most of the Steck I got sofar came without toast. I must say that I enjoy building just as much. Of course it doesnt look as good but it's still ok I think.

I rather have Steck without toast then no Steck at all.

(You can replace Steck with Steak and the above paragraph is still true *grin* (and replace building with eating)

I think toasts are not only aesthetically good  but also give extra rigidity to  steck buildings. They are many on ebay and prices are low so its not ( yet ) a problem finding them ...

To me they are typical Playmobil

Are they going to be an Advanced Gaurd or something like that Giorginetto?

I too would prefer the old playmo Knights to many of the newer ones Elaine.
No offense to the playmo designers of today,
But Hans Beck had it right.

The simpler design of many of them allow for them to be part of multiple factions instead of having to buy lots of knights for only one faction that you may not even like later on,
You can buy many of the old Knights and just by switching out many of their shields make totally new Knights.

Lol,
I went the other way.
Had lots of fun with my Knights so my family bought me a 3667. ;D
Since then I have just bought more and more knights
Untill recently I aquired 2 more castles to add to the first.

But now I have too many people to fit in one castle, what do I do? :P ::)

Lots of sieges... ;)

We are talking about the Nuremberg gaurds.

I don't know if there will be a collectors club,
We will find out after Richard second meeting with Mr. Branstatter.
But if there is,
Why spend $1,000 instead of $500 if you could have waited just a few months!

the Nuremberg guards if they will be remade they would be a bit different i think different legs the chrome plated if they make them with chrome plated armour will be different etc....

Giorginetto,
You can still buy round towers from Canada if that is less expensive.
I know it is for me.

All my 6 round towers are 5 levels and i think above that it looks weird and out of scale. i want to buy more round towers for my grand city design ( but not buying whole 3666s for that) , does anyone know any for sale on ebay or elsewhere ????

thats a good question, i have bought so many steck parts in the past 3 months or so , over 50 ebay orders i have lost track what i have and what i need . i think i will be needing about 8 tower walls ( non wondowed ) but i want to check that becuase i think i have bought them already.. there is never enought steck but then again there can be enough steck to confuse you . i love these round towers and want to buy some more , completed one if possible as i think they look somuch better that the square ones ( i have 22 square ones ...) ... awwwww ... steck is lovely !!!!   :P :P :P

I have 477 of them , I am afraid it will be some time till i set them all up as almost half of them are still boxed. cant wait to set them all up, will have to get some more to have just over 500 actually  ;D ;D ;D

Awwww , too many klickies i want to buy , still havent bought any redcoats or american civil war ones ( still waiting for the blister pack of 2 ....) ,

Here's how you wanna play this Giorginetto... :)

You wanna get the rest of your Lion Knights,
Get the Romans,
Then get Eygyptians,
Then get Civil War people,
Then (finally) buy all those red coats, LET NOTHING STAND IN YOUR WAY! >:D

Whay this way? ???
Lion Knights are leaving soon,
Romans are too, but you are closer to finishing your Lion Knight army.
You can finish it and maybe your Roman army too.
But if you dont, you will still have you Lion Knights all done, and Romans mostly done.
(Besides, you can continue buying the Legionnaires for another year... I think?)
Then Eygyptians as they probably wont last, and Civil War people will.
Then Red Coats because they will be around untill the WHOLE Pirate theme ends.
(Which wont happen in some time. ;) )

300 is good too...
It might prevent you from buying some elephants! >:D :toot:

Every so often I go through my Playmobil and count out just how many I have...
I used to do it when my firend and I wargammed alot more.
(Now our armies are too big to bring over to each other's house...
so we save them for special occasions. :( )

I used to just count them all up...
But now I like to count the numbers in each faction (Romans, Medieval, Eygyptians, etc.)
As opposed to them all together.

Post by: WarriorOfToys on June 24, 2010, 18:34:46
Oh no, no, no... :no:
I don't have anywhere near as many as most Medieval/Roman collectors on this forum.

I (will) have 60 Roman infantry.
I only have 30 now, but 20 more are comming,
And after our Cross Country trip I am hoping to buy 10 others.
After that I only have a small amount of Cavalry and everything else.
Totaling: 86

My Medieval collection is slightly smaller... or maybe not...
They are very spread out and hard to count.
Totaling: 82

And I have a few other people strewn about...
The only other group I would consider a large enough group to count would be the eygptians.
Totaling: 25

So as I said, not nearly as big as yours.
(Though i wish it were! ;D )
Title: Re: Giorginettos Medieval Collection
Post by: WarriorOfToys on June 24, 2010, 18:41:53
But I'll add that each were about half the size before I joined this forum... ;D
And I didn't even have the Egyptians!

Plus It is a rather large army when put together...
About 3 times the size it was when I used to have battles with my friend.
Instead of 5 to 1 it is likely to be even now! >:D

Maybe that is why he no longer wants to have that many battles... ;) :lol:

No, no Giorginetto.
A Century is 80 men. A Cohort is 6 Centuries.
There are 10 Cohorts in a Legion.
And the first Cohort is double the size of any other.

So 80, times 6... 480.
480 times 11 (because the first Cohort is double the size)...
Plus Cavalry and supplies makes around 5,500.

Now I'm really not helping! ;D ;D ;D

As previously stated, each of my Roman "centuries" has 20 men plus 3 officers (a centurion, a signifier, and a cornicen).  I have 6 "centuries" of legionaries, 6 "centuries" of Praetorians, 2 "centuries" of auxiliary infantry, 2 "centuries" of auxiliary archers, 1 "century" of marines, 2 "turmae" (10 men and 1 officer) of auxiliary cavalry, and 2 "turmae" of Praetorian cavalry.  I also have two additional "centuries" (1 legionary and 1 Praetorian) to man each "cohort's" 6 scorpions and 1 onager.  I hope to post pictures of all these once I get my playroom organized, as there is Playmobil from various projects all over the floor right now!

Wow Justindo! :o
2 Cohorts! And a Praetorian Cohort... Ohhh, ahhh!!! :o :o :o
I prefer Urban Cohorts.
(The lesser known organisation made to help balance the power of the Praetorian Guards,
And be used as a police force for the city of Rome, later they were used in other cities aswell.)

(Dunno why I like them better... Maybe the name? The colors? The fact they were created by Augustus?
(My favorite Roman... not that I consider converting the Republic into an Empire a good thing,
But he was a great general.))

You have an army that is the same size as Giorginetto's (...slightly larger even)! :omg:

Two or three "cohorts" are a bit much to move around the battlefield, but that's what I've got! ;)

Are you a Rome:  Total War fan?  The game has the Urban Cohort as its strongest Roman infantry unit, but this isn't really historically accurate.  The Urban Cohorts were really more of a police force that patrolled Rome and Roman cities as opposed to the elite bodyguards and troops that the Praetorians were.  Men of the Urban Cohort served longer, were payed less, had less stringent physical requirements, and were not afforded the same prestige of their Praetorian counterparts.  Like the auxiliaries and legions, the Urban Cohorts were often a stepping stone for men and officers to the Praetorians.  There is a very good Osprey book on the Praetorians that covers the Urban Cohorts somewhat and the pictures are very nice.

Post by: WarriorOfToys on June 26, 2010, 00:55:57
Yes, Rome Total War is where I first heard of them... :-[ ;D

Were they dressed the same as Praetorians? Did they have the same colors?
I might change my Urbans to Praetorians if they did. ;)

I don't think 2-3 Cohorts are too many at all Justindo! ;D ;D ;D

While in Rome, the Praetorians would often wear only togas and hid their gladii beneath them so as not to arouse suspicion.  Nevertheless, because of this formal dress, they still often stood out.  The Urban Cohorts shared some similarities with the Praetorians, so they could, perhaps, have the same armor and dress.

As far as colors, as with the legions, there is no definitive judgment.  It seems the legions wore primarily either natural and/or red tunics.  The Praetorians probably followed suit, although blue and white is often mentioned with them.  I'm fine with using Playmobil's blue Roman Specials as Praetorians.

WAR!!!!! Angelo ( who has challenged me) , Sir Wolf, Gis and everyone else prepare yourselves  as i declare  open war to any playmobil mediaval army/ kingdom actually in this forum.

My  vast army ( considering another 200 black lion knights actually ) will annihilate any army that stands in the way of my  Mad Emperor . My upcoming mediaval fortress will be so strong , no army will ever take it and my horsed knights with their  armour and long spears will crash anything on their way, all the  swordsmen, heavy swordsmen, pikemen , archers, light cavalry, heavy  knights cavalry, king's guard , catapults and siege towers ( engineering )  under my command are ready for war !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  my army has over 100 banners and soon over a 1000 swords and pikes and nothing i repeat nothing will stand on it way to playmobil mediaval world domination ...  if anyones dares , dont bow to my army and face the deadly consequences. I expect surrender by all , especailly the golden dragons... With 6 siege towers now and over 10 catapults no fortress will stand on our way , sorry Sir Wolf ....  Enjoy your steck while you can , before Mad Emperor Giorginetto destroys it !!!!

Sorry Giorginetto!! You'll never bring down my three level wall fortifications equiped with 20 catapults, 30 or so balistas, my six storey high round towers and the inpenetrable citadel of my good king!!!
It is also impossible to break the first line of defence, my (constanly growing) 4583 red lion sentries, and even if they fall down, you'll have to deal with my last line of defence, 50 (and keep growing) 3315 double axe Dark Knights... the most fearsome knights playmobil has ever produced....

But maybe a cohalition force with some of the other members??? ;)

Still my men are strong at heart, and strong willed.
They are of Viking decendants, and have enherited their skill...
Maybe they could stand a chance if being besieged???

I am hoping to double my Medieval army by next year aswell Giorginetto.
If I get a job, then maybe triple... or quadruple! ;D ;D ;D

I am going to create another faction and they will form a treaty with my Black Lion Knights.
Then they will be unstopable! >:D

But they can only form a treaty after they have a large war with each other. >:D >:D >:D

Conteplating to get another 100 Black Lion Knights  ;D ;D ;D ;D, if all goes well i am picking up som eof me recent klicky orders and most likely get the egyptian sets. Back to the mediaval thread though, will get a yellow steck house also i reckon , trying to work out the floor space i need for all my mediaval set ups ,not sure it will be enough in that storage room , have the carpenter meeting this week to design the tables ( there will be puzzle like ...)

The footprint of the upcoming new mediaval, city ( over 40 houses and over 25 towers now)  plus the forest ( over 120 trees in total...) , the golden dragons castle, the vikings ( + gauls ) castle ( yes i will use the wooden western fortress to make a big viking castle also with a port....  these western steck forts are awesome to use and you have done an excellent move buiying lots of them  ;) ;) ;) ;)    ) and the rest i doubt this storage room will suffice .. we shall see .....

My Northern Warriors will be willing to fight,
Along with my East Kingdom Black Lion Knights.

Together we will beat them back from your walls,
and send them running for the hills! >:D


Folding tables may solve the space crisis.
They store easily, and efficiently,
And you can organize them well enough when they are set up so you will still have room to more around.

100 more Lion Knights Giorginetto? That is just amazing! :o
How many will you have in total then? ;D ;D ;D

No wait, you can't buy them unless you post pictures with all of them! :lol:

By next year when we have our fight over 2000 i am sure of that ( all of giorginetto's combined forces) , Therefore, nothing i repeat no steck or army will stand on my emperor's way. Wolf Knight, Grangel enjoy your steck and armies becuase next year there will be meat in giroginetto's war blood arena.... and built your steck high so it falls more gracefully ... hehehhehehehe

well, the sheer amount of steck Wolf Knight has will make it a  very hard job even for a tsunami of klickies, i reckon however with a 40+  (minimum) catapult array and a resulting  rain of boulders to his castle plus an attack of 10 or so siege towers his grafecul towers will eventualy fall ...... Its gonna be a hard war these wolf knights are hard klickies i reckon ... the shall fight hard up on the fortifictions but 40 catapults will eventually terminate them and open the doors to the klicky flood.....

Battleplans WoT , its all about battleplans !!!!!!  :D

I was checking the storage area this weekend and the carpeneter came over, took measurements, and he will quote me on some bespoke tables to maximise the use of space which seening my 25 very large boxes full of playmobil etc makes me worry wont be enough, anyways, the tables will be made shortly ( my otehr alternative to buy lots of plastic square ones and interconnect them) and i will start making my dioramas !!!!! i cant wait to set all the mediaval sets , there will be well over 1500 klickies and over 45 steck houses, over 100 pine trees and lots , lots of steck !!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Very true, the more steck one buys the most toasts, connectors, fortifications, roof parts, open parts etc etc he/she needs . i have bought so many additional parts since i set up my mediaval city and castle version 3 a few months ago... (version 2 was set in 1999 and version 1 in 1983..) i reckon version 4 will be quite better than version 3 . I have lost control of what parts i may need next etc so i will just proceceed with setting everything up next !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Still want to get 2 more complete round towers though .... where from i dont know...  ??? ??? ???

Tell me, did you get the trees and the lion knights from Playmobil Hellas DS Giorginetto? If so, didn't they freak out when you asked for all these? I tried asking for 10 x 7458 and a few other sets x20 or x30 and she sounded very freaked out, finally telling me she could only ship two or three from each...

Did you mean 5458? On Playmobil USA and PlaymoDB that set is a Western Bandit with horse.

Next time, having visited the funpark last month with Giorginetto, I will remind them I am a collector and that I need these big numbers all for myself!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

and because you are a Knight! :) )

Your Inn and otehr buidlings are impressive Sir Panos. It would be  a shame if  my boulders rain out of 40 catapults at once firing and 6 siege machines letting an army of 1200 klickies storming in , light infantry, sword infantry , heavy infantry, pikemen, crossbow  men, light cavalry , knights, auxilliaries attacked your lovely upcoming mediaval city . Therefore my Emperor will spare the impressive beaty of these building and focus his war machine elsewhere... not another worthy adverdsary though he can see...  aww well..........

With reference to my mediaval city i am considering to have an outside perimeter wall , one high and the inside wall two high . I dont know if i have enough steck for that , i might just be able to do so , need to start building and find out !!!! Will put square towers to the outside wall and round to the inside , i think i will need more steck for that design !!!

I would love to see a blue print Girginetto! :o
But with all the steck you are buying
I find it hard to believe that you dont have enough for that construction. :lol:

My castle, (though significantly smaller...) is based on the same design.
Ill see if I have a pic...
No unfourtunatly not. :(
But I do have a picture of the last one before I added another 3667 to make a keep.
Here it is:

(http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/7148/001rq.jpg)

My new castle consists of a Keep,
I added it to the stables, beside the house.
I took the house out and put it in the keep,
And all the stables have been shrunk.
There is an emergency stable inside the Keep,
And the stables in the nearby barn.

Actually, tebuchets were first designed to fit on castle walls.
They were famously known to be on the walls of the great city of Constantinople.

The trebuchet eventually evolved, however, to become a be-sieging unit.

Question is go for the full monty  i.e all Mediaval or set the romans, their fort , the egyptians and the gauls first. I still have unoponed all the egyptian massive haul of mine and 200 roman new soldiers and never set the arena yet ... hhhhmmm a desicion that wil be taken after deep meditation this week ( and some last minute playmo purchasing !!!! )

I doubt the surface area i have managed to create  in that storgae room will suffice for all mediaval ... Awww well........

That is a very good point Sir Wolf. More thinking and meditation is needed. These tables  set ups  cost me lots ( lots of klicky equivalents !!! ) and i want to make the most out of them, will get the cloths to put on them this week and next week gonna be a lot of playmo time building .........so so so so sooooooooooo excited .. feels as good as  driving fast on the Nurburgring Nordschleife....   :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Though i really want to build my romans army and forest with gauls and on the other side the egyptians , will have to medidate as there is a lot of mediaval steck waiting to be turned into something good ( and hundreds of blck lion nights still unopened, as well as steck houses, mediaval old sets , 3669s etc etc )... awwwwww .. medidation needed !!!!!!!!!!

space and a secure area will be the problem ...

Yes but at least next year i shall have a very secure garage of 120m2 free for  such large set ups  in athens that also people can easily come and visit ! Unless of course Sir Wolf you have such space , i am happy to sahre with you also use this space for the days you bring your playmos down ( if you decide to do this of course )  when its freed completely sometime from Q2 2011 onwards .. 120m2 is plenty of space to set lots .....  and lots they should be !!!!!!!!!! Mediaval siege , romans grand fortress , grand forest , pirates next and manowar armada, egyptian army and giza etc etc ........... Also, if we set it all up , we can charge a small entry fee and cover the related costs ( or give the money to charity which i prefer doing )

I want to set it all now !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i want another 2000 steck pieces and 500 nuremberg guards .. please tell playmobil to make them again,they need to understand we need nuremberg guards !!!!!!!!!!!!   I  neeeeeed Nuremberg guards to guard and protect our holly steck mediaval cities from menaces such as grangelo's golden dragon knights and Wolf Knight's customised medieval klickies ( dark sentinels and all these wolf clan dudes ). With 500 nuremberg guards and 400 balck lion guards and the other 700 or so remaining army my king will eat for breakfast these wolf knights and what have ya ....  >:D >:D >:D >:D    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeap, careful planning willbe needed and not an easy task at all , but plenty of time to meditate on it , i wouldnt personally move my collections to any other place, i have lost enough due to a flood and all my collection is securely stored these days in thief/water/ dust protected environment. aw well plenty of time to think about this .. the immediate next goal is setting my mediaval city version3 so watch this thread as next week preparation pictures will start been posted here  :camera: :camera: :camera:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a question is there a reason you are using Green cloth instead of the modelling grass? We just bought some of that and I am planning on using that for all my set ups.

Here is a link that shows the modeling gras rolls as well as a fabulous looking technic (but time consuming) to make grass yourself.

Thanks, Gis That is very nice indeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better than the green thick cloth i am planning to sue ( havent bought it yet) , will go to Marklin trains and check if i can buy some of that as they have something similar/ same if they dont have it i will use for now this cloth

Sir Wolf there is a shop in Peristeri in Athens that sells that , its very cheap about 2 euros per square meter or something , i dont have on me their contact details but PM you if you like. The modelling cloth looks much better though though i dont now about price and how big the pieces can be ( i need 4x5m2 and 2.2x 2.2 m2 sheets ...)
Title: Re: Giorginettos Medieval Collection
Post by: Gis on August 05, 2010, 09:41:16
Quick search shows that the price is rough 8 Euro for pieces of 0,8 x 1 Meters.

I so about 4+ times as expensive as the cloth

Thansk Gis , i actually emailed them about 15sec ago asking for two pieces one 4x5m2 and one 2.2x2.2 m2 for the darker green cloth ... hopefully they can sent by express mail as i start building  this sunday !!!!!!!!!!!

This Sunday the Mediaval Castle and City , the Forest  and all of its animal and magic inhabitants , the Dragon Knights castle and rock palace, the Vikings will start being build , i only hope 6 full days will be enough !!!!!

I used the 'model' grass in my park in our exhibition and it looked very good ....

(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/sandpit.jpg)

however some of the figures kept falling over and had to be fastened down with 'blutack' to keep them in place.
For most of the displays we used vinyl table covering which we painted with emulsion paint and in some cases we mixed this with acrylic paints to get the colours we wanted. 
For the medieval display we used plain black vinyl. 
We marked out the inside of the walls and painted that grey and for the outside Junior had the idea of using the brush to stipple it with shades of green, I thought the end result gave a very good effect.

It was more economical at only £3.00 a metre (I think it was about 1.5m wide) and in most cases only needed one coat of paint and dried in a few hours.  It also meant that we could have different base colours on one display very easily.
(I'll be posting photos of the other displays in a new post soon!)

excellent,. thanks elaine , will have to see these pics at home as i cant see them on my work computer for some reason

I think its important to have a nice underlayer. I shall also put a picture of the cloth i have found , its similar to the one used in pool tables, its not thick and can easily be stretched therefore mimimum risks of klickies falling down and domino effects ( i hate them !!) . Not as nice I am sure as a paint job but hpefully it will do the job. Willget some blue for sea also and sand colour if available so my sea and egypt sets are more realistic .. ole !!!!!!!!!!!  :yippee:

. . .  For most of the displays we used vinyl table covering which we painted with emulsion paint and in some cases we mixed this with acrylic paints to get the colours we wanted. 
For the medieval display we used plain black vinyl. 
We marked out the inside of the walls and painted that grey and for the outside Junior had the idea of using the brush to stipple it with shades of green, I thought the end result gave a very good effect.

The painted vinyl looks terrific, Elaine!  Is "emulsion" paint the same as what we call "latex" paint over here in the colonies?  That is to say, is it the type of paint you would use on the walls of a room? 

I hope your exhibition was a great success and look forward to seeing more photos when you have the time.   :)

Yes Indianna emulsion paint is what we would use for painting walls of a room. 
I am working on the photos still - we took so many that they need a lot of sorting out to find the best ones.  I was busy with a craft exhibition last week so have only dismantled the displays today.  I am now in the unenviable position of finding somewhere to store everything again  8}  However I will post the photos soon - hopefully in the next couple of days!!  :D

Work started on late Thursday and finished late today. Has been a very busy playmo weekend but also went out saturday at a very good friends club and spent some time at my mountain house which was foggy and chilling and fed the cats a bit too much up there . Anyways , playmobil wise i have put on the green cloths and one was short by about 12cm, nevermind though i am quite angry with the taylor. I have put on these tables my entire steck and mediaval collection ( i add to these the Gauls which will be part of the viking army). Its madness as you will see in the pictures tomorrow, there are about 40 bags full of klickies and items, about 600 unopened klickies and so many things everywhere, i hope you get a good feel of whats coming with these pictures cause they are really a mountain. Took me over a day to upack them all and also short out a bit my western, modern and pirates and dino collections part of which you will see in the pictures, in this room there are simply books and playmobil everywhere, the books will be eventually moved to the adjacent storage room and all playmobil will be in plastic clear boxes in all the shelves, i hope you get an idea from these photos of my collection which i will share with pictures with you all . The one think i have set up was all the trees , that was quite a job as you can see there are well over 100 pine trees all together, over 20 oak trees and 30 magic trees some of which are still in bits, all the other forest stuff which is lots is still unpacked . Next to the tress is a  mountain of unopened klickies most black lion knights, gauls, green dragons, yellow dragons , catapults, lot of auxiliary stuff and then next to it the market stuff (  i have bought lots of veggies meat etc etc ) and next starts a mountain of steck, there are 8 i think 3666s, about 8 3667s, all the old mediaval houses , some 2x, some 3x and a total of about 40 in total steck houses, lots of loose steck , thousands of pieces and more coming ( thanks Gordon !). The big bag is full of red roofing parts. next are bags full of townfolk, furniture and other items, and also the kings quarters ( lots of steck behind it ) and in front many bags full of klickies and loose forrest stuff and also some magic stuff and the dragons etc, dragonland series not in picture I am picking it up all up on Tuesday. This is my entire mediaval collection ( the vikings are in a bag elsewhere in the room) , i dont think they will fit on this tables, I am adding another 2m2 , hopefully most will fit . Apologies for not having the pictures right now, i am having problems sending them as email from my Blackberry. Will try something else at work tomorrow but i promise i will be posting these awful pictures ( just a pile of playmo stuff in two large boarded covered with cloth areas that are elevated ) but this is the beginning of my edition 5 medieval set up ( or 6 I am not sure , the first was in 1987 when i set up for my first time the kings castle and village back then) . I will be getting some more klickies and steck regardless of space limitations .

Here are the few pictures I managed to get from Blackberry , the rest to follow tomorrow  :)

Thank you all for your encouragement, i haev quite a task ahead , simply to unpack all the unopened boxes / bags will take me probably a day .. anyways i shall be taking proper pictures hopefully next week and also will take some pictures of my roman and egyptian mountains of klickies and stuff and also of the playmo den with lots of boxes full of western and modern city , some interesting unopened boxes there ( water tower, air mill , western train large box etc ) . I am thinking of a strategy on how to free up the space to actually set things up, i will be getting big plastic boxes to put separated and shorted parts and klickies in and then set up the houses etc etc . Mougia,mougia ( 'quoted from Jar Jar Biggs ) misa have a biiiig task ahead ....

Maybe you can look at this castle (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://asukamaxwell.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/krak_des_chevaliers.jpg&imgrefurl=http://asukamaxwell.wordpress.com/author/asukamaxwell/page/4/&h=963&w=1225&sz=233&tbnid=ewo0LpnqYfS2OM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkrak%2Bde%2Bchevalier&zoom=1&q=krak+de+chevalier&hl=en&usg=__MLdPquqXp-eZRBMWo8rYwMUEvMc=&sa=X&ei=fi1ATYLAJ8fKgQfFm7HPAg&ved=0CCQQ9QEwAQ) for inspiration... ;)
Also, since you have a town, you might just put a small wall around the outer-side of your houses to keep them safe. :)

Also, since you have a town, you might just put a small wall around the outer-side of your houses to keep them safe. :)

Similar to my previous smaller Steck Castle ( see my web link under my Avatar ) I will have the city inside walls with round and square towers all round, this time , space permitting as i think i have enough steck i will build anotehr outer wall. I dont think i will built 2 levels walls cause that is very unfair to any invder as it makes the siege towers obsolete and the ladders also etc .... I will built an outer simple wall and the inner wall will have the towers etc etc . I can make the inner wall double high and then castle will be pretty much impregnable ( putting archers in the inner higher walls etc etc ) but I want to make it all more realistic , i hope there wil be space for all that i doubt i will be able to fit barracks for nearly 1000 klickies ( well many will be on the walls but still..) and a city with 40 steck houses , all that i doubt will fit in 12m2 that will be the footprint of the castle , god knows where i will fit my massive forrest with the yellor dragons and dragons temple, merry men , magic and of course all the vikings( and gauls with them ) . Oh, dragonland also needs to fit and my 10+ dragons . Need more space but regardless i will give it a good go !!!!  ;D

I didnt have than many playmobil till 1996  ( perhaps a total of 500 ... not sure ) when i started buying them again ( and i lost quite a few in a flood in 1997) and i have been buying them since then. Not sure as to my total number of klickies , i dont like to second guess so i wont make a guess

Nuremberg guard are still my favourites. i have about 90 or so of them now , i really like them and i hope they bring them out again one day , a truly playmo classic !!!

Hello all,

an important update to the setting up journey, stayed up till 3am today , found and bought all the round towers parts i needed and though the very kind help of Sir Gordon ( Playmofire ) I basically spent approx. 300euros on steck yesterday ... As If i didnt have enough ... :lol: :lol: :lol:... But as I always preach ' There is never enough steck ' and not its Giorgoinetto's time to set it all up steck and klickies for the first time ....

I am going Skiing this weekend ( terrible Skier I am though  :-[ :-[ )  so the weekend after next i hope to take another  day off work and spent lots of time in my playmo place and start setting the mediaval steck up !!!!!

This is one of those threads I like to save, as insurance.
If my wife starts to think that I'm going overboard, I can prove to her that I still have a long way to go (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/luwerner/gif/icon_rofl.gif).

check out the web link to my youtube account to see the previous version of my mediaval castle  ;)

I like the Porsche video.  I would do that on my Harley, but I need both hands to operate the throttle and the clutch.  If I put someone on the back to take the video, they'd be hanging on for dear life just to stay on and the video wouldn't turn out ... hmm, or maybe that would make it all the better and more entertaining.   :lol:

I have a little sticker to use and put the camera in the front  right above the centre console and do a proper video of  acceleration / cornering / etc but i can only do that when the weather is much better , i wouldnt dare on the wet ....  :lol: :lol: :lol: ( well i would , but i would rather not , i have learned  to be cautious the hard way - 2004 UK, car smashed, me in ER etc )

Sometime in April/ May I shall be taking a proper vid . More importantly videos of the medieval collections and set up and hopefully the two photostories , the  invasion and siege of King Iseroth's castle by the yellow/green dragon alliance with the Vikings/Gauls and the support of Merry forrest men ( i havent decided yet if i Include the dragonland series ...) and my next photostory which will be an attack fo the king to the Grand Forrest with all of his army to ' clear it' from all of his enemies and then his battle on the shores against the invading vikings . I can think of afew more stories but well let me set it all upo first  ;D ;D

I just returned from a very busy Playmobil long weekend as I had Friday off work. I spent all Friday at the Playmoden with just water and klickies , and most of Saturday and a bit on Sunday, here are some pictures of the progress , i shall be posting some more, only to tired to do so now but i have promised to post pictures so here are some . First the mess of klickies and steck from last time , there is a big box somewhere that fell apart its full of unopened Balck Lion Guards, Green Dragon Guards, Gauls  there must be around 800 klickies in there all in bags!!! I manage to use another board and create som emore much needed space , i am actually really pleased i managed to create that space, somewhere also you can see a mountain of trees and lots of bags of klickies stuff for the city. All teh selves around the set up have boxes full of playmobil mostly in between books ( they will be going to another areas soon and only klickies in plastic boxes in this room everywhere ) and also you can see many steck houses missing their roofs, somewhere there are two big blue bags full of roof steck. Anyways , i created the kings quarters this time bigger by another level and also created more wall on each side from last time. This entire northern wall measures 26 steck walls in width , the length of my entire mediaval castle I am not sure ho long it will be I estimate roughly very roughly about 80 Steck .... Anyways I completely redesigned the kingq quarters, there are ladders inside at each level a massive banquet room at the bottom and at the top the Kings champers and on the roof rooms  a surprise thayuo shall see when all complete. This work - rearranging all the steck on this boards ( i had to move it all !! ) and the Kings quarters and the adjacent northern wall took a full day !!!! The next day i designed the south wall with the 4 grand Castle Doors , many castle defences , there are also as on the southern  wall two massive 7 level high steck round towers and some square towers plus the central tower which is my concept and its full of ladders again, see the little detail on the top from the steck roofs which i think looks nice. Following this and in complete symmetry with the southern gates and the 3 sections of the kings castle/barracks. I then  put together the intermediate wall with 4 gates again, double gates these are and also square towers. Finally I managed to put together another 7 high steck round towers that will be in the 4 walls joining area in front of the kings quarters and if i can do that ( i run out of time ) i wil put them there joining all 4 walls and their access will be from the barracks under the Royal Quarters. I think having these 4 towers in that symmetry works well with the rest. In the Middle wall i created another gate/defence command post only this time with fortifications all round. Next time i am in the den i shall build the east and west walls , put together all the steck houses , must be around 35 i think , and start unpacking klickies and put together the rest, including the 4 kingdoms of the dragons, the merry men and the magic and all these in the forrest, plus on an adjacent table the vikings/ gauls and another forrest, god know ho much time i will ned for all that, i think a lot of time will be taken setting up the market and the shops and everything. More pictures to follow on progress and when all complete a couple of videos and then a couple of photostories including the departure of King Iseroth's army to invade Ithaca !!!! Apologies if some pictures are a bit blurry etc . There is never enough Steck and there is never enough Space !!!

Thanks Sir Wolf, a bit boring design I am sure though... about two igh walls I am not so  sure .. i want to do an invasion in one of my photostories if i build double high walls and even worse another wall perimeter ( my original plan) even 2000 invaving klickies wont be able to manager against such  a byzantine wall set up.  I decided to keep it a bit simpler at this set up despite not using all my steck etc . not  bad thought but then it would be impossible for an invasion. And in my photostory the vikings and the 4 dragon alliance will break into the city and there will be fiercul fights. The tall walls on the back are really cool and couldnt resist not build high walls on at least one side !!!  :love: :love: :love: :love:

Goodevening warlord,

If you are registered at klickwelt.de please look at following post there:

http://www.klickywelt.de/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=39618

Racer has built a fantastic and enormous keep/castle. 5-6 levels building with very artistic and realistic interior design.
You have a great steck collection and your project should look like this.
I'm very jealous of his fantastic keep/castle.It is an incredible and unbeatable war tower.

LOOK AT HIS CASTLE GEORGE.YOU NEED AN INSPIRATION TO BUILD YOUR CASTLE.!!!!!!!!

MAYBE I SHOULD USE AS MY CASTLE IN ATLANTIS.

Good evening Warlold, I am having problems registering will try again ...

Also, my castle is unbeatable also especially when i put all the armies in... with more that one high i wont be able to make a photostory siege and it will be impossible to stage an attack to the castle which i want to make a photostory of !!!! Just before our WAR!!!  ;)

Yeap... There is never enough Steck Sir Gordon !!!! When in early 2012 i move my collection to my converted garage i will have about 6 time smore space than this playmoden and then i will set a much much bigget castle , i estimate at least TWICE as big as that !!!! But patience is the name of the game i have to carefuly biult my steck as needed and your help is much appreciated !!!

Some more pictures  of my on going project .... I dont like the idea to make a 4-5 high wall castle i wont be able to set a siege and access my market and city , i prefer simple big designs even if this seem a bit common perhaps to some, i like the geometric symmetric designs and i think once all the walls are complete and the 40 steck houses and all the klickies in it will look much better

Title: Re: Giorginettos Medieval Collection
Post by: Giorginetto on February 18, 2011, 11:01:58


how many 3666 is it from?

6 x 3666, 10x 3667, 4x 3450, 4x 3446 all compelete ones and probably twice as much all that in loose steck orders or something like that. I am gettign another 500 steck pieces next week . i cant convert all that easily to 3666s but my rough estimate with some assuptions about what equalls a round tower and a big gate bridge woudl be around 40 perhaps, not sure of that stupid calculation though. I stopped buying complete 3666s some time ago and focus on getting large quantities of types of steck needed and/or single items .... There is never enought Steck and i plan to have a castle one day with over 100 steck houses and over 2500 klickies in it ... one day this is ....

Hello all,

Just got back from my weekend at my playmoden and my holiday mountain home (-1 deg !!) .  there were about 5 boxes uponeded of steck parts and various bits i bought recently. cant really walk anymore with all these klickies and bits. need more room and i cant see fitting all my tress anywhere no way , still have the 5 dragon kingdoms to set and the vikings pretty much impossible  to set all these. BUT i will have set my Medieval kingdom of Krull, the Royal Quarters and Treasure, the Royal Jousting , the Royal Guard, the Army barracks, the engineering army sections, the Knights quarters, the prison ( all in the Castle) Plus the City with all of its residential houses, its shops, mayors house and city guard and the open market . This weekend i managed after spending about 12 non stop hours in the den ( 8am-8pm on Saturday ) to short my steck and finish my entire outside wall perimeter . need a couple of fortifications elevated from 3667 ( i thought i had enough  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:) and a couple of other bits. it was a very busy 12 hours and i decided after the advice inf act of fellow playmofriends Wolf Knight and Playmojager to two two levels on the outside wall. I have been left with over 100 steck walls and many may steck pieces ( over 16 square towers etc ) and i havent got enough space to set another outside wall with other gates etc and many square towers as i wanted byt space has put a limit. There is always the next set up i will do in 2012 though.  i pretty much run  out of two and three way steck connectors also  !!! As i say there is never enough steck ! not that ago i bought 50 3 way connectors and 99 two way connectors, still few left afetr all these walls. In the rear wall and the front wall you can see i incorporated two levels of defenses with lower level through small wall halls. I am really pleased i followed the advice and went two levels up all round the castle looks so much more impressive and will over 1000 strong army in it and over 30 catapults i dare say its impossible to conquer in playmobil terms . Anyways i will stop bragging about the monstrocity i have created , a few more details and minor changes will take place and then i shall clear up the remaining steck, build the 35 or so houses ( i hope they fit !!! ) and start unpacking all the klickies i have ( over 700 unopened ) and also solve the mystery how big King Iseroth's Army will be after all ( in combined forces ) i have a feeling it will be over 1800 by now but still not sure.... Anyways  back to steck , i have taken quite a few pictures and here is a selection of them , if there is interest i will post some more. Going to two levels was a decision i didnt made lightly  and for those who wonder Playmobil business and my set ups i take pretty much as seriously as my job/career and i seriously mean that. Two levels present some limitations but also aesthetics and defence capability muiltiplis, big decision though. At various sections at all outside and inside walls i have steck walls that collapse an important details for my summer photostory of the 5 dragons kingdoms invasion with the support of the vikings/gauls. On a short break during my steck building i went out to get a bottle of water and at that nearby cornershop i also found a bought that playmobil magazine with the red dragon knight .. niiiice .... back to steck nothing would have been possible without the parts that Gordon bought for me and sent me , a big thanks to him , without his help nothign would have been possible at that level and shame i have run out of space and couldnt set another outside wall ( next time ) . Big lesson of this weekend : There is never enough space but also ' There is never enough Steck!!!'. Enjoy  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D... The set up measures i think 41x 28 steck lengths by looking at these pictures  if anyone can verify that i would appreciate it i always get confused with round towers and such counts  :-[... if its that then it means footprint is 41x28= 1148 'steck square meters ' ...

A suggestion: you might consider mounting a few towers on the outside of the walls.

I have thought of that , creating square towers protruding to the outside and therefore creating more angles and top areas for defence , but i wanted to maximise the usage of space and its already taken up and always liked long steck straight walls. I shall be getting soon another order of steck parts in the order of another 1500 parts , I realize i needs twice as much space for building properly the design i have in mind with another set of walls on the outside and teice as big the town space. That wont be happening till late 2011 so meanwhile i have to compromise with this available area ...

When i have more space i will build the outside wall with lots of square towers ( i have over 24 left ) and they shall be protruding from the outside wall giving the design an even more byzantine look , more of an Emperor's Theodosious Wall fortifications of the Constantinoupole. That I am afraid wont be happening now, space is already limited god nows how i will sqeeze on the other table the 5 dragons kingdoms , the forrest, mary men, the magic and the animals and of course the vikings /gauls and their ships !!!! Need more space . and more nuremberg guards !!!

Never indeed , i wish i had more space to set up all my trees and more reamining steck and creat more space between the dragon kingdoms that will be basically next to each other !!!

A piece of advice!

Lower the inner round towers.There are too tall without a meaning.May a level higher than the outer towers.I love the keep's section outer wall with the big floor you can add a level up to the inner wall.
keep the good work George!

You have not show us the main gate!!

 :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: .. tall round towers are cool !!!!

Inner round towers stay at that level and might add another one in fact i have the steck for it ... inner wall i want to keep one level otherwise it looks abit claustophobic i think especially the kings quarters... the main gate is shown Sire in one of the pictures, there are two gates and above are 6 boulder release defence mechanisms , i will take a couple more pictures next time !!!!

Need more space and more steck !!!!

Actually I agree with Grangel,
they look a little awkward sticking out of the middle like that,
way above anything else around them...
Besides, you could make lots of smaller round towers if you took those apart. :)

Post by: Giorginetto on March 03, 2011, 11:58:32
I might put these round towers at the point where the barracks are separated by the city and on the outerwall , and put a couple of lower round towers inside .... i think i need some round tower walls to build more round towers and there is no way i am lowering these towers i really like them !!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am not so sure about going double heigh stecks in the inside walls also.. i have the steck for it but i think it will look all too claustophobic .... will give it some thought when at playmoden next !!!!

Now that Grangel and WoT have said it I have to agree that the tall internal towers look weird, but its your castle so keep doing what you're doing.

If I had the Steck I would love to have a go at making a castle like Beaumaris in Wales.  it is a classic concentric castle - a castle within another outer wall.  Has anyone had a go at this?

Its not far from the design i shall create once i have a bit more space when i shall build an outer wall with at least 24 square towers on it and a number of gates that is yet to be determined , probably 4 , one on each side ....

Anyways , back to the original topic of this thread , hopefully this Friday /Saturday the steck houses will be set into the city and start allocating the army into the barracks etc etc  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have to agree with this George. They are too tall and architecturally impossible for medival times. Such slim and tall tower would not be able to be constructed or stay standing.  :(
Other than that I LOVE the castle!  ;D

I dont think its as easy as that, i have tried this and to make it work someone needs to cut and saw playmobil parts which i cant be asked and dont want to do , the top parts of these gates will have to be cut in order to connect steck connectors that way. i am not going to cut my steck !  :no: :no: :no: :no: :no:

Another busy playmobil weekend. Today is a national holiday and we spent our saturday evening and all sunday at our hoiday home in east greece. BUT before that i was at the playmoden on saturday from 7am ( !!!! ) till 5pm . I followed teh advice of many and lowered all the round towers and actually created a next of towers inside the royal quarters. I also extended slightly the length of the city part by one steck . After that i constructed all my steck houses, i couldnt find the sign from 3444 which is annoying as i saw it not many days ago and needs a few steck bits to construct better the Abbey ( with windows at least  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:) and also a couple more steck houses . I run out of steck !!!!! Not walls but 3 point connectors and some hollow parts etc , i cant believe it but i seriously need more speck especially when i design an outer wall also in the future!! much more steck !!! THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH STECK !!!!! i have the 3667 bits to put in the square towers that dont have fortifications on top and a coupe of other bits / modifcations to do but basically next time i go to playmoden i start setting up the market stalls, the shops, the farmers guild, the town people, the abbey and the various bits for all the original mediaval houses i have , all of them minus the museum actually ( have the roof of it though ). Hopefully next time i shall begin setting up my armies and once i have all the armies set will work finally on the royal quarters and the king will go in last , a tradition of any playmobil set up i have done. After that plenty more work , have to unpack all the dragonland series and all of my vikings and gauls and set my al 5 dragon land kingdoms and the vikings ( another board will be used next time to use up some remaining space ) and of course all these 'small ' kingdoms and set uts will be in between hundeds of playmobil trees and playmobil animals etc , there will be a  lot of trees !!!! anyways, there is still lots of work to do i estimate i need 7 full days to set it all and start my photostories etc etc. enough talk here are pictures of my work progress so far .

Occupant will start moving in . before the army next time i am at the playmoden, probably next week !!! After that the army , the dragon kingdoms , the vikings, the entire forrest, still so so so much to do but a significant part is complete. I cant believe i run out of steck joints and metal window bars etc etc, I need to buy so so so much more steck to create an outer wall perimeter with more square towers etc

Back to Grangel's idea about wall running 'over ' 3666' gates , how is that possible? I thought the flooring on top of these gates dont allow for any 2 way connectors be connected etc etc, any ideas of how this is possible???

You do not have to cut anything my friend.The picture is from my summer photo story!!

Thanks Angelo and also thanks everyone for their encouraging words  and many thanks for the pictures, I will most most MOST definitely add a second level wall above these front gates , better buy some connectors though , I have run out of them believe it or not !!!!  ;D ;D ;D

To set up my klickies I am going to have to step on these boards , I really really going to need to be very carefull and step on points that there is direct support underneath so that the whole think dont collapse. Maybe next time  you see a picture will everything collapsed !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

I might set up the entire army outside the castle first , marching into the new castle with King Iseroth on the front followed by a sea of banners and flags , what do you think people, shall i delay a bit the city people and set up a march of my entire mediaval army ( well excluding all the 5 dragon kingdoms and the vikings / gauls ...

Post by: Giorginetto on March 12, 2011, 15:22:33
Back from playmoden with such lovely weather today only took me 38min to get there which is not bad at all .... Anyways , thanks to Grangel's advice I modified the front entrance wall and now its all 2 levels up and looks much better, I reduced the size of the Abbey and created another 2 floor steck house with some of my steck that was left. And basically the rest of my time was uppackign all my klickies and medieval parts and items on the table after i separated and stored my remaining Steck. The mountain on unopended klicky bags is basically Black Lion guards, Green Dragon Guards, Gauls ( part of Vikings ) and also a few Redcoats that are in that hill of klickies !!! . It took me hours for that basic segregation and i have lots of bags as you can see to open . And next week I am picking up another 102 Black Lion Guards . Now, I still have al my Dragonland series boxed, couldnt resist and opened the Big black Dragon and also created my custom Klicky, Krull's Dragon Jousting Champion Arnfasta I took a few pictures of her , her ride and her devoted servant ( she saved his life when she was 12 from a dragon ...) . Apart from Arnfasta which is a rare custom for me as i dont usually swap playmo body parts but did this time, I took a couple of pictures of KING ISEROTH and his QUEEN EYOR talking to Arnfasta.... Next week i start setting all these klickies after i unpack them all, still to take out the Vikings and the Dragonland .. so much more to do .. at least the castle of Krull and its city are standing now !!!!

Thank you all and also thank Angelo for his advice on how to build two level high walls above the 3666 main gate, the castle looks so much better now !!!!!! Next saturday the big tasdk of unpacking all these Klickies and start setting them will start , plus start unpacking the Red Dragon castle, the Green dragon Rock temple, all the viking sets and ships, the trees and animals etc etc so so sooooo much more to do  but i really hope it will be all completed by mid June I estimate and then photostories, battles, tournaments etc will take place . I will upgrade the lighting also in the den and also investigate the use of lights inside the city etc etc to take some night shots when its all complete etc etc ... we shall see that's not an easy one.

I really cant wait to start setting up the hundreds of playmobil trees and the landscape !!!!! :) :) :)

In my case its simply a question of constantly upgrading and expanding the deisgn i have in mind . When i have the garage in athens freed up , i will eventually set up my Edition III Mediaval set up that will be 50 % bigger surface area of the castle , same exact design BUT also with an outer wall full of square towers and a gate on each side . That wont happen for some time though but I am already working in the steck numbers I  need , there has been so much steck building from me lately i work out automomatically parts types and numbers i need depending on steck foot print. I think steck is amazing and i wont even mention my 5 year plan for Edition IV when it happens in 2016 hopefully, it will be a completely different set up with an Acropolis and much much bigger than Edition III !!!!

Back to reality and back to today , edition II needs a lot of work and will be completed sometime in JUne i hope !!!!

Back home from a busy weekend , Friday was national holiday in Greece after watching a parade and family lunch it was all Playmoden till 11pm. Saturday/ Sunday was Skiing instead! Progress was made but a bit slow. I spent quite a bit of time shorting out that mountain of klickies and actaully started setign up some stores. I set up the baker , the tailor ( couldnt find the original green hat so he has a temporary green hat...  :lol: :lol: :lol:) and as yuo can see i used some jousting training dummies to put on garments for sale in that hop. I also set up the smithy and a cart and a few stands including the pottery and also the pottery shop. I set up a little corner selling pigs , anotehr one chicken and eggs and another one milk and cows. Getting access to the centre of my city is impossible withoiut me stepping on it which is very risky then for everything to collapse. I have placed an  order for a special clamp that will allow me to pick up items and klickies and set them up, i shall have it in a few days and then all will be shorted in terms of putting items and klickies in the centre of the city and also of the castle and royal quarters . After this i started putting up the walls the back lion guards , i also had to open a few of the black lion guard bags as i run out of loose ones, still some positions to fill but i aint taking any risks i will use the clamp for the centre positions. all togehter i have used i think so far about 240 black lion guards but there will be far more to use for other guard /defense positions. I also took a couple of pictures of King Iseroth with his Treasury Minster and the Black Lion Guard general ( with his own insignia though), General Arrakis. In on pic they pose for the camera... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Next time i go to the den probably next saturday will continue setting up stores and the city , there are a total of 34 steck houses to populate and by then i shall also put my newmly acquired 3449 Museum next to the 3445 tower , that completes the city steck houses, i have added also a yellow one this weekend which i bought at playmobil last week. There are 2/3 more steck houses but i shall create a small village outside the castle near the beach where the fishermen and the fish market will be . So much more to ( see the mountain of klickies and items to set ) but this is the best, setting it all up. I estimate mid June y all be ready for photostories ... I hope you like my pics, forst few were shot in a bit of dark !!! Soon i will have the bookshelves covered to create a more realistic atmosphere !!!!

It's starting to look lived-in now.  ;D It's looking great, George! Can't wait to see the rest. Good idea, btw, about getting a clamp to help yoou reach the middle. I have this trouble with the zoo. It's so big when I set it up that I can't reach everything. I'll have to check into that.

I havent got a picture of it BUT for 20 euros i bought an expandable alu tube with a mechanical grip at the end open/close via a piston mechanism, will take a picture on saturday , can pick up klickies to small parts its really good and will help me set klickies and things towards the middle of the table set up without having the risk to stand on it and danger of collapsing etc etc . I am realy pleased with this my father found it and got it for me as he is a DIY / Tools expert afficionado !!! Really pleased will be able to set up so many more things on saturday !! Now where is my 3449  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

very impressive town. nice to see it come alive with the klickys.

just one suggestion. wouldn´t it be good to have 2 openings in the middle of the table to possition the klickys ? i know this from big train modeling dios. i find it hard to position the klickys in a dio bigger than 2x2 meter.

best regards

I arricved back from the mountain house where i was since friday and i went to the playmoden early saturday. we had a few problems with some pine trees from the recent heavy snowfall, one 30yrs old pine tree was destroyed  :sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow: :sorrow:

a couple of others were damaged and i spent saturday morning helping them out, put some support beams etc to bring them back at a good angle. As a result i couldnt spent a lot of time at the den however some progress has been made ! Hopefully next weekend i will have an entire day at the den.

The grip arm is FANTASTIC !!! can pick up very easily klickies and very small items , it has helped me so much to put klickies and items at the centre of this wide table design.!!! I attach some pictures to show you how it works !!!! Apart from playing with the grip, i set up another shop ( making carpets ) and also a couple of wagons in the city . Still waiting for the 3449 Museum to set next to the 3444 . I also set up a couple more klickies. I put a couple of angled Steck parts where the soldiers stand in the front wall ( still some to more to place there ) and put Krull' 22 large catapults ( i have roman and wolf knight ones and dragon ones about another 20 ) inside the city at the wall, the only place they can be fit . It tool me about 40 min to find in the massive pile the boulders and the fires !!!! So i took a pic of them too !!! I set up the throne room and started doing some work at the royal quarters. I also set up some Nuremberg guards on the outside and also the Queen and the women of the Royal Court around her and also the small fountain which I unboxed today... Time run out quickly so i had to come back to Athens etc. My mind is still at the Den might take a day off work next after next weekend to allow me to make some serious progress still so much to set and also still to unpack the vikings/gauls and the dragonland . Hopefully next time the city wil be complete and many more klickies will be set in the barracks etc etc including the horsed knights which becuase of their number i wouldl liek to think will be quite something to look at ... anyways here are a few pics of the ' Playmo Gripper' and the progress so far !!!

Its the famous ' Batmobile' which is not a 7er but the 1973 CSL 3.0. I sued to have about 60 BMW M cars 1:18 models but i sold them all when i sold my real BMWs and left Britain for Greece , I have kept  4 of them but unfortunatelly they are all badly damagaed but i dont want to throw them away. ...

well spotted Sir, shame really all the rest of my playmobil, lego, tente, playbig , matchbox car, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, smurfs  sets and actions figures are all in boxes or hidden you would have plenty to spot Sir !!! But sometime in early 2012 i will put all my playmobil and other toys in plastic see through containers etc etc  ;)

Hello Playmofriends !!!!

Giorginetto is back from a long easter holiday!!!1 Just got back home about an hour ago, we had a lovely easter time woith our families at the mountain house and at my wife's holiday family home also, i enjoyed my  car the past few days, had a couple of very fast drives in windy mountain roads  :love: :love: :love: :love: and a did  a fair amount of shooting. BUT , and i say BUT all these hobbies pale in insignificance as I spent 2 days at the DEN. I found my western train and the yellow western wagon , for my wetsern diorama, and i has a look at the various western boxes. Then , back to the mediaval set up, i set up the trasurey chamber with all the old style treasure chests full of old style silverware, the tan chests full of gold coins , the red full of silver coins and the other with other playmo treasure stuff. i set up also the kings's office and also put in the treasure room ( the attic in the royal quarters ) the statue from 3449. I set up the 3449 in the city, now thats all steck houses  :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:, job done, only took me about 30 years to do as i wanted this since i was 7 but better late than never !!! i set up a few more mediaval klickies in the town - a married couple drinking and eating outside their blue steck house, the gypsies, a couple more wagons, a girl with a cow and i set up a few mediaval style klickies for the town with the modern style hairdos that dot need a hat . actually they look pretty cool. I also set up the prison and torture wheel and the two logs where the 2 klickies in the red hoods execute etc , please note the prison wagon and the prison cells hanging from one of the towers. I also set up the royal apartments, the aristocrats live in these houses and each has a small tree or pond in front of their window. that was my idea of a medieval middle/ upper class road with houses !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:  .. anyways i managed to set up a few more klickies and i spent a lot of time segregating the big pile of klickies , it still hasnt move a lot. progress is slow. ... i will set up the rest of the town people, i bought a few more recently , then set up all the armies in the castle and then start working in the big forrest, the yellow dragons kingdom and castle, the red dragon castle, the lion castle , the dragon land series and the green dragon army and rock temple. and of course the vikings and the merry men , the forrest magic and the various animals and plants. Still havent opened the dragonland series etc etc !!! So much to do but once i have all the armies set in the castle , the townfolk and the farms outside the castle ready, the rest wont take that long. .... Enough said here are some pictures of the progress so far ....

BTW, after seeign some great steck creations here , i changed the top end of the two central guard towers of the outer front wall and the inner wall that separates the barracks from the city, i replaced the top fortifications with steck tiles and the whole think looks much better and more practical . I also used the 3667 top square tower fortifications for the rest of the towers inside the city so all the square towers have these kind of fortifications. Still have lots of steck and towers etc to use... I also use many of the old classic yellow lantern/ lights for all the gates and also used even more in the city. The city of Krull has a lot of lighting !!! i really like these lights and their black bases i think they look spectacular and i must have well over 50 in my entire steck set up now... anyways hope you like these pics !!! :)

Great idea, i hope the 4257 is still available to get at Playmobil Greece. I will take a pic of all the trunks open, they are all full, the old type full of the old type silverware, the tan ones full of goild coins and some gold items, the red ones full of silver coins and the reaminign with other precious playmo stuff , i still have about 6 more trunks full of gold and such goodies at my pirates hopefully i will have it all together one day !! Krull is a rich Kingdom indeed !!!!  :loco:

Contemplating to get lots and lots of these new more shiny gold coins and use the ones i have as bronze coins !!! very tempeted indeed !!!! That means i will buy enough shiny coints to fill another say 10 trunks ... !!!!  :loco: :loco: :loco:

Definately  most impressive collection Sir George!!!

I am fed up trying to set up hunderd of klickies but i will continue to do so , i want so much to set up my massive 200+ tree forest and all that goes with it and finally unpack the dragonland series , have it all set, cover the den's wall with blue cloth for sky and then finally start my photostories, there will be one based in a murder in the city of krull, another about a battle in the forest and many others, the last one will a full scale invasion of all the yellow / green dragons, dragonland , other mediaval forces combined with viking/gaul army against the kingdom of Krull !!! BUt i need to set everything up and progress is slow and i have to set no less than a total of 1200 klickies or so i estimate .. awww well wish me luck and more importantly patience . Iam getting more and more eagter to buy some hundreds of redcoats and create a port in this city and sea and have all the pirate ships etc etc . Mediaval first though .. in 2011 hopefully !!!!

Well the problem is that you are thinking of all of them simultaneously. take it one thing at a time, and you'll manage gradually to get the things you want to get done, well, done. Of course havng them all in a different location is not helping either... little time and so much to do... But still, i think you'll manage and we'll see some really great things from you! ;)

Hey this is an awesome thread I just discovered  ;D Just a question though, what purpose does it serve to have so many swordsmen all over guarding your castle walls? They cant do anything until the attacker is a swordslength away. Shouldnt you be placing archers and crossbowmen up on those walls?

...And here I am back from a long weekend !!!! I spent all Friday at the Den and a good part of saturday the rest was spent at our mountain house where we relaxed etc !!!! Thanks , BALckknights realm for your feedback. in fact i will make a couple of hundred of archers and cross bow men but i am waiting for some parts and still haev to find some other parts from DS, i reckon i will have about 200 of them. As  a matter of fact , i DOUBLED  MY WALL GUARD  !!!! See the pictures  below, i set up all my knights , well not all of them i am waiting for some parts from DS and then you will all see my elite cataphract custom heavy armour knights  about 60 of them !!!! Still have about 100 of balck lion guards, i will put them in my bedroom i suppose as i have run out of space in krull's castle. still have to set up another 100 civilians in the city, lots of houses and their stuff in the city , then the farms and the farmers outside the walls, then the big forrrest, the merry men, the yellow and greed dragons, all the animals, the magic , the dragonland series which are all in boxes still ( over 100 klickies )  and my 60+ my wolf knights  which are unboxed too, finally i will set up my vikings and gauls ( 4 ships, a fort and about 200 warriors. So basically i am acgtually 50%there , maybe 55% , another 70 or so klickies to set and about 250 playmo trees .. Hope you liek the pictures, i forgot to too k pictures of the royal quarters will do next time. Please no comments about klickies everywhere, my edition III medeval set up with steck will be 50% bigger at least  but where it is now i run out of space .... anyways you can see the prison cells, the eating grounds , the storage rooms, the weapons room and blacksmith ( i love that klicky ) , the royal apartments, the jousting training grounds ( they are so close to each other you dont know who is fighting qho. Anyways, i dont care about space , i cant wait to get some time free to start setting the rest , my archers and everything else, its a lot of work still reckon all will be ready in august /sept  still i will always bore you with progress pics... :-[ :-[ :-[.. when its all ready i will put sky blue sheets all around and behind and take some professional photos and a video of the lot and then my photostories will start.. this set up will stay up for a year at least...anyways here are the latest pictures ....

:clap: I am so jealous!!!!!!! How many hours do you suppose that took to set up?

So far since i started i have spent probably around 80 hrs at the Den. I estimate i need another 50-60 hours, though the hardest part is over and once i have set up the city people and city stuff the rest should be a bit easier, i will finally unpack my dragonland , set another castle and also set up my viking which i really like !!!!

In late 2012 when i set up my necxt mediaval set up , it will hopefully be in a much bigger space , i estimate i need about 50% more steck castle to have a more realistic castle and city , probably actually 70% , so i need more steck which i will start buying like mad in early 2012 . I alkso hope nuremberg guards make a come back ( please vote for them ....) so that i can eventually replace all the black lion guards with nuremberg guards which i much prefer. right now i have about 110 nuremberg guards ...

i know... i know.... just no space to put them more loose .... but the townfolk will be far more realistic ..if uou  look back in this thread you will see some pictures of the townfalk , the shops , the carriages etc  all look more realistic... just need another 50% f this castle for the barracks and royal quarters, i need more steck really , much more !!!! when i receive the knight you created Sir Arnaud I shall take a picture of him departing the city and all knights on horses and the king standing and saluting him !!!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

George: you don´t need more steck. more steck will bring you more in the trouble to build higher walls and higher houses and so on. i feel the same like arnaud - it is too symetrical ( sorry when this word is wrong ) your castle looks like build in one day. perfect ? yes - maybe but the "not perfect" things make a town / castle look natural. it´s nice to have 5 jousting sets acurate but why not make one with many different knights etc.... :wave:

I do Sir. Next set up will be in a different room and will have at least more 50% surface for the castle so its not so filled with klickies , especially the barracks..... i wont build higher walls , i think this height is realistic .... :wave:

George, I agree with Cowbounga and Skywalker;
it would look more realistic to build not so much in a square, and to have more angles within the city-walls. For fortresses or castles within the city, building more in the hight might look nice. Just a suggestion...

Its all very good ideas and much appreciated , i have spent so much time setting all this up i doubt i will make any manor changes now in this set up as i still have so much more to set ( about 55% of my emdiaval collection is set so far ) , i will take all this constructive feedback for my next medieval set up in late 2012 which is goign to be at least 50% bigger , god i am gonna buy so much more steck in 2012  :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco:

Those back tubes=quivers. You know, in medieval wars, the bowmen used to stick their arrows in the ground in front of them, to sustain a higher rate of shooting by sparing movements. Besides, a quiver would only hold a dozen arrows or so, which is rather few compared to the hundreds they could shoot in a single battle. Quivers were mostly useful for bow hunting, or for the crossbowmen who had an inferior shooting rate.

Hello all from my master playmoden. i am in the middle of setting the red dragon castle with both extensions, i bought it ll MISB and its great setting up this castle, i have al the klickies for it also and all the related sets and apart from the bnig bertha i shll use them all. Oh and i hate system x. I finished today the city and castle!!! had taken me about 9 months since i started as the den is away from home it hasnt been easy. i am waiting for another 10 city klickies of the very old sets - farmers and 3447 klickies , and i will add then to my collectio. i sytrted settign the yellow dragons keep, i wil not create a castle will use two yellow dragons towers , the rock temple , lots of rocks and klickies, their castle will be on an elevated plane compared to the rest. also split the trees and bit and i shall start biulding the big forest !!! still havent touched the dragonland series not the viking/gauls, i have a bad feeling i wont have enough space for it all but will give it a go. i also set up the train station 4300 which i received from schluss lasyt week and i will use that outside the city where i will set the farmers , the vegetables and the well . this wil be used as a house/ storgae for the goods of the farmers. i will show pictures of all that next time when hoipefully more wil be set. will finish tonoight the red dragon castle, system x is such a pain but the colour of that castle is fantastic !!!! all togethere will be the empire of krull and the emperor, thwn the yellow dragons combined  with the old green dragons , then the vikings/gauls , then the two dragopnland castles, then the red drabgon castle, then the lion castle and the merry men then and last the magic forrest stuff. somwehre in the way i will run out of space and wil have to sacrifice the lion castle and someting else probably. doubt i will be able to set up half of my trees also but never mind... anyways the city is comlete its booming with krulls population, there are 3 large two level beer houses where krulls ale is served both hot and cold. enjoy. next time i will take a 5min video and put on my youtube and put a link here . hopefully all the rest will be complete before sep and start my photostories !!!....

What an alive city!!! Congratulations George!! This is magnificent! I like how you put various little details around the city, the sheep flok, the fence with the pigs and the chickens... more importantly, how did you put the tiny eggs in the basket?

Very well done!!!

The mechanical arm did all the placing in the  middle of the table . Some klikcies and parts tok ages to place and in one occasion in teh castle in order to set the custom knights ( red bearded barons with latest armoured horses) after about 10 domino that drove me mad, i stepped carefully inside the castle, i had to take the baron into a flexi green basket and placed them there. i had to reppsition about 50 klickies because of that and i had to go up on the diorama isnide the castle in my underwear and clothes would mean more klickies falling off the walls etc , not my best of moments and gl;ad no one saw me . the things i do for playmobil and this diorama !!!!

Thanks fo the feedback bb and Sir Wolf, there is a lot of detail not captured in these photos somethign i shall do with the video very soon. various houses have stuff and klickies inside however the majority is on the street. All the original steck houses are there with a few custom ones ( i have created a fish shop etc ) and there are 4 beer houses  and variou sopen market shops. I am still waiting for a few more klickies and still to set the farmers outside the walls but the city is pretty much complete apart from detailing which never ends . hopefully next time i will have at least a lot of the rest set and for you to see , soon i shall start my photostories, god knows if i will be abvle to set everything else in the space remaining , i am doubtfull abou the vikings with the gauls ( the gauls are 150 ...) and no way all the trees. I need a bigger den . twice the size . i still have sooo much steck i havent used and could have set anotehr 4-5 hosues also inside the city .....

Yes, the food really adds to it!

That's why I want to add more extras to my old houses.  I am surprised they did not come with more accessories.  Well, I know that's all they made at the time and it was fun as a kid, but with all the accessories they have now you can really add detail!!!

Thanks Sir Wolf ! After many years of search i found a very rare sondtrack the 2 CD version of the movie Krull , music by James Horner  ( Braveheart, Willow, Apollo 13, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Aliens, Glory, The Mask of Zorro, Field of Dreams, Enemy at the Gates, The Missing, Casper, Troy, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, The Rocketeer, A Beautiful Mind, Mighty Joe Young, The Perfect Storm, Avatar)    btw i collect soundtracks with over 200 now and despite a relatively high price i am very please i got it. This music will be used when i video the entire set up and hopefully i willhave all the surroundings to my set up covered in blue so its all looking more realistic and better . This soudtrack is fantastic and i cant wait to see it , tehre are ocassions i see the movie just to listen to some of the music !

PLease accept my apologies for posting progress  of mhy meveval collection but with no pictures , with all the excitment today i forgot to tqke the camer with me !!!! Next weekend I am going to the den for longer though and i will definiotely be taking pictures . A busy day today , manages to spent about 6 hours at then , this den project makes me very appreciative of the value of time. WHp said playmopbil dont make you a better person !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:..

Started off with finishing the red dragons castle. System x is soooo annoying i dont see myself buying anymore system x ever. DUre to space limitations , i doubt i will have enough space for the lions castle but will check this nect time as i really want to have this castle. In my story , Krull will have an empire so more independant castles etc are needed to make look like an empire. Anyways, i completed the red dragon castle with BOTH extensions ( all MISB they were till today ..) so its  a fairly sized tower - i have about 30 red dragon klickies to go with it and a red dragon. ON the front of the yellow dragons kingdom , the arch enemies of the emperor, i set them up on a table at the end of my set up which is elevated plane compared to the rest . their kingdom will be meant to be on a mountain. No walls, no gate , two barons towers with dragons underneath , on the side of them along the line of the towers is a volcano ( from the dino series ) and lots of dark same colour stones , ie a stone wall, i shall create also some short of pass way going up to the entrance between the two towers. Inside there are about 60 sets of 3669, all the 3669 knights lined up , about 50 yellow dragons archers and then about 80-90 yellow dragon sowrdmen. Then 20 black knight specials from the early special editions,  behind the volcano is the rock temple where the KIng of the Dragons is , guarded by two fire wizards , and about 100 green dragon guards, his elite army force . Also are 8 dragon riders ( green dragons ) ewhose leader is in audience with the Dragon King. Besides him are his two wifes and his beloved pet a panther looked after a snake witch. all these klikcies are based on special originals. NO capapults , no sige machines, i have 5 catapults and 4 nbig seige machines for the dragons but simply there is no space, i will see what i can do though next time. Between this ' dragon volcanic mountain ' and the city of krull will be the Great Forrest where there will be the red dragons tower, the vikings of Krull ( and some sea for their ships, though i wanted to put them on an island, separate from everything else, might have some space for this at the otehr end of the roon , i will work on this, the lion castle where all the auxiliary troop i have will be and they will be a king there and then the two dragon land towers whereas they are together or separate i havent decided yet, probably separate. Of coure also the company of merry men and their wooden cabins and oak trees , and the various animals and forest trees ( over 150  pine trees to set !!!) and opf course the wolf knghts who are asll still boxed and are about 40 ( these i havent decided with which fraction they will be ...) , i also have to set the 4300 house and the farming lands outside krulls walls with all the farmers and the vegetables they grow and wheat bundles etc etc . and a couple of fishing boats somewhere for the fishermen of krull and of course the beloved wizards shop with all its goodies . and the fairy and forest ghost. i dont know yet if i can incorporate in the viking army the gauls as i wanted i have about 160 gauls boxed and are perfect for a viking army !!!!

i doubt i will have enough space for all this , it will one on each other ( i havent included in any of the above and current setup the 30 templar knights, dont know what to do with them..) but i am determined to set as much as i can all in between pine trees that will be everyhwere , krull is a northern copuntry where there is lots of cold and snow at winter and  lots of trees everywhere !!!! Sorry i dont have any pictures this weekend but i promise you will see some forest picvs with towers and castles in them next week !!! Still have another 300 klickies to set ( excluding the above dragons mentioned )

Hell dear playmofrieds, its been a long weekend most of my time spent on the beach but also spent quite a few hours at the playmoden. set up the red dragon castle, the two dragonland castles, a couple other sets from dragonland, still to unbox the rest and also the wolf knights . anyways , i have set up the dragon knights den with their king and its packed fill of yellow and green dragon soldiers and still more to set ! i have set up quite  lot of items in the city , lots of  detailing in the shops, added a few original klikcies from the late 70s klikcies, some corrections in the 3447 set , a few more additions in the castle of krull guartd ( more aux soldiers ). Took also a video but i need more light so i will be posting a video later on in the month. WIth a bit of luck next tyime i will set also the lion castle and also some trees. There are about 350 total playmobil trees udner my diorama right now. ooopss  i forgot the vikings also , thwe magicians and farmers houses , thge animals , etc etc ..still lots to do but getting there !!! So , without furhter ado here are quite a few pictures of Krull !!! Also, the King of Ceragem will pay very soon a royal visit to Krull to discuss all important matters , such as the gathering forces of the yellow dragons and their thrist for war and conquer and of course next summers jousting tournament at Krull from Ceragem and Krull !!! Kign Iseroth wishes to show theLKing of Ceragem ( Wolf Knight) the various parts of his vast kingdom and of course his royal quarters and the famous city opf Krull with its various beer houses , including the hip and trendy ' Merry Man's Green Feathered Hat ' where Ale is served with pepper and other spices , the famous garment stores and farmland stores and fish shop and of course present the KIng of Ceragem some weaponry of the fine Krull steel , forged by the wizard smithie of the Northern forrst, a sword that is known to sharply cut fog..

There is zero dust in this basemement. First there are no windows  and there are two doors to go through to reach that room , think of a nuclear bunker  :lol: :lol:.. Already there is hardly any dust outside this room . FOr air entering that room there is an air duct whose otehr end has a dust particle coapture design so not much dust goes through. A little does though. For this dust i use a plasma ioniser that purifies and cleans the air. Actually it even chills it and provides a very pleasant room temperature to an otherwise rather hot basement . The air quality after 15min of operation is like being on top of a mountain very good for the health and very good for the klickies also i would imagine. Plenty of such systems in the market, mine is remote control operated , made in USA and a but pricey at 150euros but very good so no regrets there !!!! can remember the name of the maker though , will get back to you on this !!!

Wow, wow, WOW, George! It's looking great!

Thank you.  My aim was to create a vibrant and alive city unlike the guards in th castle and on the walls who are still and too many. There is a lot of detailing not captured in these photos , some families eating outside their house, a young couple meeting secretly, a couple's first date at one of the beer houses , the mayor having visitors, the famous tavern of krull having delivery of wine and beer, sales of various items and good happening, a thief arranging a theft, hunters returning from hunt, the bishop and his clergy disucssing matters of faith, all wil be shown in better pictures in the future through the Knight Lore Chronicles  :)

Thats the Church / Archibishops house, there are priests and nuns in it and some guards patrolling it. I was going to use it originally for hte farmer's storage and relax place outside the city but decided to use the 430 steck train station as it looks much better i think ( still to set this )

.. and thank you all for your motivational feeback . its all taking shape now...

AFAIK these ioners dont work all the time , they start and stop as they have some type of sensors that control their operation. The one i got has the facility also to put some scented material in it and give out also a slight decreet nice scent of choise like straberry etc . whne i set the forrest i will use the Pine scent , makes sense i guess !!!!  :) :) :) :) :)

To answer in more detail your question this ioniser has a timer and is also manually programmable so you can get it to run for say 2 hrs , 4 hrs, 8 hrs no stop etc

This is incredible George  :wow: :wow: :wow:
You must have so much patience to set up all those klickies in such neat lines.
It's such a pity that it's hidden away in your playmoden, something as good as this should be on display to all.

Thank you.  My aim was to create a vibrant and alive city unlike the guards in th castle and on the walls who are still and too many. There is a lot of detailing not captured in these photos , some families eating outside their house, a young couple meeting secretly, a couple's first date at one of the beer houses , the mayor having visitors, the famous tavern of krull having delivery of wine and beer, sales of various items and good happening, a thief arranging a theft, hunters returning from hunt, the bishop and his clergy disucssing matters of faith, all wil be shown in better pictures in the future through the Knight Lore Chronicles  :)

Yes, that's my favorite part of any diorama, all the little subtle details and side stories! Can't wait to see close-ups!

I am gonna borrow my dad's prof camera very soon and also with proper lighting take a 15min video where hopefully a lot of such details / stories will be captured. when the forest , the other castles and vikings are all set and completed. Should be by end of this month. and then the Knight Lore Chronicles shall begin !!!!!! There will be lots of wars and battles and dragons etc etc , and royal visits and next summer a jousting tournament !!!!! But first WAR !!!!  :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight:

Thank you Sir, now thats something i havent thought of !! mind you , the 11th chapter of the Knight Lore Chromicles will be a massive battle !!!! all my klickies will be involved in !!!1 I estimate this to happen sometime round july next year after the hosting of the Krull, Ceragem tournament as all yuo see now will be destroyed and all klickies, dragons, sea monsters, magic, armies, townfolk will be part of the massive battle between the King and the united Dragon Kingdoms ( Yellow dragon, Green dragon, Red Dragon )......

However there is also a massive battle / siege of the city of Krull in the 5th chapter and a rather big forrest battle in chapter 2 not to mention a major viking /dragons battle in chapter 4 and of course  a dragon air attack in chapter 10 just before the mother of all battles , the battle of the Time of the Dragons takes place in chapter 11 .....

What an incredable set up Giorginetto. It really is such a shame they didn't produce more good '90's medieval citizens. i see some klickies repeated through your city but I know the options are very limited.

I see already so many great scenes going on in the city and I am looking forward to all the awesome adventures you will be taking us along on.

Thanks Gis  for your encouragement for the Knight Lore Chronicles.  :)

On the subject of medieval townfolk i fully agree, very limited options, i have created some customs and variations with hats etc but still repetition is unavoidable whern you look at a town with 150 or so  residents . I am still on the look out for more townfolk i want to get another 30-40  or so ... it woudl be nice to bring out such klickies once again , much improved from the simple one sin the past , right now mediaval klickies are only foot / soldiers / knights and dragon klickies with wings  nothing wrong with them but very limited in terms of creating dioramas etc. Shame really the steck old houses i always thoght of being a very educational series for childresn , it shouldnt just be about warriors and siege machines nad dagons, looks more like a konan the barbarian  or ad&d range of toys nowaways rather than the classic mediaval playmobil.

Hopefully next weekend i will have much more sets up and trees etc , still need another full 4-5 workdays at the den to finish it all , next weekend will be 2 days fingers crossed

anyways, there are lots of pictures showing how the set up evolved from boxes full of stuff and boxed sets to the city /castle it has evolved...

Dragons and Trees

This weekend , saturday and today ( had the day off especially for my den visiyt ) i spent quite a few hours in the den continuing my project. and i am please to report progress has been made. The lion castle and army and anotehr 80 or so mixed mediavbal soldiers there is no space for, i still need to create a home of the viking and unpack my wolf knights that i want to use, also stil to set up the merry men in the oka trees and and the good magig figures and fairies and of course all the animals, plants and forrest details. Anyways as King Iseroth informed his royal visitor the King of Ceragem , the statue of the founder and first emperor of Krull has been raised, it sin the middle of the city of krull, population increased by about 30 klickies all pre 1980 originals, there is a cart full of chopped wood, a new market stall with vegetables, lots of farmers about in the city , a sheep shelter outside the walls of Krull. General Agnar is inspecting the army and Arngeir the viking is on his to the viking fort ( not raised yet  :lol: :lol: :lol:..) . I set up all the dragon towers with dragons in top, my parents think the dragon alliance kingdom ( yellow, red, green dragons ) is much more impressive than the city. I have also set up the siege towers as an airport for dragons, still to set up a few draons klickies, no fortifications there only natural stones and lots of dragons  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: i have counted 13-14 i reckon.... anyways set up the pine trees , some magic trees still lots of these to set and the oak trees . still to need to create a naval base for the vikings, i doubt there will be any space for my 150 gauls .. anyways , i have also done a lot of detailing in the royal quarters of krull with soldiers, decorations and there is a tabel for 26 gueests full of shiny old silver, new emperor's bedroom, pictures of all these next week, i want to create also a small forest outport for a few black lion guards. anyways , lots lots of green as you can see, when i set up all the mushrooms, bushes, forest animals etc i think the forrest will look rather cool .. here are a few pictures of progress so far. The dragon alliance is very strong i must say , better get a couple of hundred more black lion guards for King Iseroth me reckons....  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

what´s the size of the castle so far ?



.. I wish i had more space actually. The city and barracks are so full of klickies its not realistric at all . i have estimated i need twice as much to have a realistic city and citadel . So i need lots more steck ...  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and i mean lots more ....

i cant really recall the size now how many cms L x W but i suppose if one looks carefully at the latest pictures can easily calculate it , i think it must be about 12 m2 approx  that is the walled area excluding the dragons alliance kingdoms , the forrest, viking etc etc . I have run out of space, cnat set up my lion castle ( yeap system x !!!) , the gauls , the wolf knights and pretty much another 300-350 klickies that is still in bags .. shame really... need more space ...  :-\ :-\ :-\

In one of the Knight Lore Chronicles is a full scale siege of Krull's castle and city by the Dragon Alliance with all dragons flying over and facing the 30 or so catapults/air defences of krull ..... i plan to create photostories for all 12 chronicles, there are two attacks to the castle, one smaller one in early chapters ( havent decided 100% which one  :lol:) and a massive one in chapter 11 . Chapter 12 is the counterattack by King Iseroth  ;)

12+1 = 13 photostories in total . As for the time , i reckon it will be two years at least  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:. the last one will be a photostory of an open battle with all my medieveal klikcies once all the steck is stored away, all the catapults, gauls, vikings, lion knights , dragon knights, dragons, everything, it will be  a battle of approx 1700 klikcies ... but thats for late 2013 i reckon, till then there are ( hopefully ) many other photostories ( Knight Lore Chronicles) two of which are siege / attack to the city of Krull etc etc . Thast the plan  dream i have anyways  :lol: :lol: :lol:

A very amazing collection, I am not sure anyone but Geobra themselves has any more medieval playmobil.

Maybe in the future, roads and small plants/trees could beautify the city further?
Like a road made on the computer and printed on paper, copied and maybe containing straight pieces and crossroads? That way it could always be moved away for storage, and could be put over the green underground.  :)

The city seems big enough for an assasin's creed inspired little story too, that wouldnt require mass army movements either.  ;) Could be fun to see a clickie on a high tower looking out over the city.

ITS DONE !!!! well i indeed run out of space for the vikings/gauls ( over 200 all together ) and the lions castle and its army ( 100 klickies ) with the available space i had to let these go and probably set them in another place or somehow next to the set up i have - very little space though. I spent about 18 hours at the den this long weekend ( Friday was a national holiday ) and i would have spent more but i wanted to enjoy some fast driving etc etc also which i did , however my mind was constantly at the World of Krull I have created. The Forest is complete with all of its playmo trees ( 3 main types ) and you can see the forest and water fountain fairies and the ' good magic world ' also the evil witch , the druid, the magicians home and the merry men and all the various animals which dwell in the forest. i also set up the remaining dragon klickies ( well almost , still have a few sets unopened and i havent opened any wolf knights yet ) and gave them enough ladders etc for a massive full attack at Krull castle ... ( watch out for the knight Lore Chronicles when the massive siege takes place in episode 11 of the 12 ...) and also decided not to create any walls in their fort, wil all these dragons all over i dont think they need a wall. I created a rather dense forest and at the edge of is is the outpost of the brave lion knights guards . Their leader Sir General Arimathias on a white horse is a very brave and experienced soldier and has patrols going up and down the forest line as you can see. Also some farmer's cabbage etc can be s outside the walls of Krull. Inside the city various small additions and alternations have been made , city is now booming with life and prosperity , the flow and transport of goods and the various shops is an indication of prosperity. The city non elected Mayor Lord Vauxhall is having guests and also as you may see in the pictures there is a lot of action in all of the city's beer houses . Outside the city walls, a farmer put his sheep in their den while Viking Arngeir and his trusted assistant are on their way to the viking's island ( still to be created somewhere , somehow ...) in the forest the merry men are having a feast and not far form the them a druid is collecting some stuff for his potions. Unrest at the dragons alliance ( yellow, green and red ) their king is having a war council !!!!! His armies are gathering more and more force and he has a powerful dragon air force ... anyways , here are quite a few pictures of my world of krull ,shame really i have no space to set up so many more things i have /wanted to ( a proper farmers house outside the city and lots of plantations, a shore with fishing boats, vikings island and army and of course the lions castle ... all together i am missing something like 350 more medieval klikcies ..aw well anyways... net you will read in a different section the 12 different Knight Lore Chronicles , thew first one will most likely be created with Sir Wolf also. Anyways , enough said here are some pictures and soon i will create a  big video of the lot once i put some stuff around the set up to cover the bookcases etc etc ....

Thank you Sir wolf , Tahra, Ace,  Elric, Rms008 and Tim . I can only mention once again the tournament you did Tim which was simply spectacular, I was hoping to do a little photostory with Arngeir and Oluf upon their return to Viking island but i eeerr run out of space !!! Will short something out , i really want to set the sea, sea monsters  and the krull island with its vikings /gauls ...

Fingers crossed i will keep that display up for quite a long time and create my photostories the first of which will be created with Sir wolf in a couple of weeks !!!!!!!!!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:... so more to follow , finally despite some ' losses' - vikings, lion castle and knights, farmers small village ( still have 5 steck houses  :lol: :lol: :lol:) etc the world of Krull is (semi) complete and will be the template of what i hope to be some nice photostories. Will be using a professional camera and lenses that my father has ( amateur photographer of nature, cities and varius buildings etc etc ) so hopefully my pictures will be much better that these aweful ones..

BTW a video of the lot is now posted in my youtube account under the username ' TheGiorginetto' or just follow the www link under my Avatar...  ;D ;D ;D ;D

A good question but there is no dust . There is an air filtering/ purifying  machine in this room  and the air duct also benefits from a permanent filter. There is very very little dust that hardly can anyone see and hopefully that will continue to be for the time i will have the diorama up .

Finally , i am posting some progress on my medieval diorama ( and a shorty story elsewhere ). It was a typical busy playmo day at the den, arrives there at 830am after a rather fast drive ( always fast when it comes to go to the den i suppose  :lol: :lol: :lol: ) , i had a big playmo bag of new stuff to add in, there were about 80 black lion guards ( still to pick up another 100 from playmobil greece ) , 7 swan knights, Emperor Iseroth, Yellow dragons champion , Lord Etyr, Jousting Champion ( all three customs from Atelier Cowabunga..)   about 4 pigs and 4 pigies, 2 wild boards,  4 cows, a forrest set , a few old silverware  and about 18 3666 banners ( !!) and 6 bolder release castle defenses !!! Aw and about 50 old style horses and about 20 green dragon guards  and about 10 more forest animals of all types and some roosters and chickens for the city  . With all the excitement when i got to the den , i was rather careless and hit hard the construction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :0 :0 :0 :0 :0 :0 approx 300 klickies fell down from all places especaily the high walls and falling onto city klickies. No pictures taken of that , i was furius for a couple of hours , took me ages to fix that !!!!!!!! Anyways , after that i set up the border guard light cavalry ,  i installed the defences and banners, i think the castle looks far more spectacular with those on !!! I also made some minor changes to the city and the castle , set up the pigies and a couple of small stories going on in the city  and also set up the new animals, there are lots of animals but cant be seen easily i suppose !!! Well , i will poste elsewhere a small photostory that will conclude next time at the den and next time i start with my knight lore chronicles, given that next time i set up the NEW royal quarters design with the new windows and stuff and the extra 100 lion guards are added into the force, i have thought of an idea to set up my viking also , Lord Etyr will be paying a visit to meet Arngeir the Viking also !!! Anyways enough talking this is all about the pictures below , enjoy ...

and before the more needed steck i need more space.  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But i wanted to set up everything eventhouh the whole setting is unrealisitc and too close together, ut i had to set everything up....

I have 100 more lion guards and 300 vikings /gauls to set with their base and 4 longboats, i wonder where these will fit  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you Tim also thanks to Panos, Arnaud , Tigana,  Hadoque also ! Yeap , they are so close to each other , the domino effect is common. i thought of removing a few hundred of those lion guards but i prefer to have everything on display despite looking so unrealistic, next week hopefully i will haev the rest of the guards set , all the vikings , gauls ( god knows where they will fit  and the krull royal quarters upgraded with different walls and glass windows.

( BTW cool xmas avatar Tim !!) , i might be going ina bit to playmobil to get a couple of xmas sets for decoration for the house ( i already have a sant with slaigh and snowman in my office...) and hopefully those lion guards

I am thinking to create a steck wall around the dragon alliance and give them a proper castle , what do you think ????

Thanks !! and a yeah it wont prove an easy job for Ithaca eeerr i mean the dragon alliance  ;)  when it attacks the castle , it will be one  bloody siege !!!  I have to create a separate location to set up my vikings , Lord Etir will visit Arngeir for a jousting challenge right by the northern sea and just between then , with the conclusion of his visit the first unplanned attack of dragons to the outport will take place that will escalate to something much bigger. i have another unboxed oupost i might use it if i ever find the space !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great collection George.it looks that you have gathered every medieval piece that playmobil built all those years.Looking forward to see the battle  with the dragon alliance.
As already said before this great army needs a almost equal army to fight.
So if you wish i be more than glad to let you my whole army for the battle.
Your dragon army will need some serious help with all these Krull's soldiers!!!!!!

Thank you Sir, when i get a chance i will post a picture of your king also visiting Krull !!!!!

I am picking up more black lion guards today and hopefully i will go to the den  this or next weekend and more pictures to follow here with those new guards and the vikings set up and the new dragons i got and also in Knight Lore with lord Etyr's romance growing  and the Kings of Ceragem and Melnibone visiting Krull as Emperor Iseroth will inform them of his plans to start the attack  the South and conquer Ithaca  once and for all !!! King Iseroth will show the two kings his grown army and his plans to defeat the Dragon alliance and get all this army by his side as once was all loyal to the Emperor of Krull until the uprise of their dragon wizard king ( a big story ...) , hopefully if i have the vikings set also i will reveal you their mighty force too, there are over 250 all together , probably over 300 but i am not sure !!!!  :viking: :viking: :viking: :viking: AND a familiar face Arngeir will be there now a ..... :shhhh:

...another busy day at the den. Actually arrived rather late as i was playing Skyrim until 3am today( level 46 now...  ;)...over 100 missions completed ...). I dismantled the royal quarters and changed their design slightly , especially on the outside with the new 3666 walls with tiles above windows and of course my beloved glass windows, inside i changed slightly the design and here are pictures of what it now looks like. i also changed the areas infront of the royal quarters gave more focus on the smithie and armor and weapon training in the area infront of the quarters where you can see the swan reconnaisance unit training, also there is some work going  on storing stuff. i also put another water well where the royal court is . and made a few minor changes in the barracks/gail / eating area in the castle. i have also a couple of pictures of ' the making of revised krul royal quarters ' , this job took me quite a few hours. After that i dismantled the church , the world of Krull has nothing to do with christianity etc so the chursh was abolished, the nuns and priests are non christian and are mages ,  the archibishop , now in the royal quarters is now the Arcmage ....  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:... As for the chursh it has been converted into a mercenary den, the wolf mercenaries and you guessed it there will be about 45 wolf knights with the cool color armour and their wolfs as its mercenaries. the wolf mercenaries are under a strict code of ethics and rules and wont do unlawful deeds or killings and also act as land marshalls upholinf the emperor's law where needed. their leader is the beloved special with the wolfs fur on him and his second in command is the black lion special . the wolf knights also act as warrior's and battle etc training centre. i decided as you can see in the pictures to put a lot of windows in this building and i will do some more detailing when i go to the den next. i wish i had some time to set my vikings also but i run out of time. rearranging steck and playmo interiors take hours . anyways , enough said here are some pictures of All That Jazz.....

But, in my eyes, this building is way too high for middle ages. Can't you make it wider instead?

Thank you Queen Elaine !!!! These windows make quite  a difference indeed , still debating in my head if i should use those windows on the sides or leave the metal ones as they are adjacet to the wall defence etc , probably leave the metal ones i suppose. I think the green windows in combo with the 3666 windows have resulted in a nice custom building also , they will most certainly suit perfectly a Hogwarts building !! steck rules !!!!!

As for the dining room with all the shiny silverware , there are two guards at the two far corners of the room and also two sets of flags also in that dining room ..... so they are not unattended ...  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thats an interesting idea.... i will probably add another  floor (!!!!!) in my next set up and also then make it another 4 steck each side wider, but for this design i dont think i will make it wider ....

to be honest i was tempted to add another floor on saturday also ..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Also , thank you tahra, sir wolf , WoT, Skypurr for your support !!!! More to come rest asured form the world of Krull , it will be vikings and gauls next time and a few more dragons, hopefully the Knight Lore Chronicles will continue very soon ( With Lord Etyr Satyest getting engaged and becoming a honorable citizen of Krull ( pending permission from WoT otherwise i will just name him differently and have no referecence to Lord Etyr etc ) and the first attack to Krull from the dragons alliance !!!!!!!! the first battle will take place in the following 2-3 weeks !!!!

Well, i dont know. I sent to Playmobil Germany a link to my youtube videos and an email telling them a few things abou tmy collection etc but i received no reply ... a bit dissapointing really. When i wrote to a car manufacturer about my other hobby which is their cars and my collection of related car stuff - motorsport/ brochures/ rare items etc , the called me , gave me a complimentary 1 year road service and discount for parts card for free ( VIP customer ) and sent me an invitation to the official launch of their latest car . Now thats what i call customer service for an enthusiast . Playmobil has a long way to travel with its collectors. Of course the DS parts and the colletor's club are more than welcomed still along way to go from my experience though ....

It might just depend on the one person that checks such mails. For one company it can be someone enthusiastic who encourages fans and collectors, while another company might employ someone who cares little about it, but who might be good at other aspects of the job and was hired for that.

Looking forward. It would be cool if PM were to come up with a crusades-era ship, wouldn't it? We've had Roman, Egyptian and Viking ships after all. I still think that a crusaders theme would be great, if somewhat controversial nowadays. You could have the crusaders ship, ottoman camps, monks and so on and so forth. It would be cool, I think.

There will be a a harbor with two playmobil lighthouses  :love: :love:

Its just a matter of time for me to find the time to set all this and the naval battle up. This weekend as in the past and probably the next i am spending time with my other 'hobby' and passion in life  ( fast car ) BUT it wont be long i set a time for all this and yuo see the battle between the Krullian viking navy and the Imperial ( Roman) navy....

Things are awfully quite in Krull but not for long .........  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hello all from my master den. It has been a long day at the den today and only a while ago i finished setting up my recent purschases and made some key changes to the medieval set up. Priot to that i had a look at some plaumobil boxes and some other toy boxes i havent opened since the mid 90s !!!! i found a mint 3534 ( playmospace), 2 old robots and 15 astronauts in mint condition !!! i also found quite a lot of other stuff that i thought was gone but  its still here . still to check another 3-4 boxes tomorrow i havent opened since mid 90s !!! anyways , back on topic, i ran out of space today and still have as you can see in a pic about 250 black lion guards in bags, 150 gauls in bags and 120 vikings and viking ships x4 and sets ( not shown) .Anyways, I set all the knights differently and removed from the castle the two swan tents, somehow i managed to fit in all the horsed knights and you can see Emperor Iseroth inspecting alleh knights with his 4 magnificent generals and talking to general Sir Agnar .... I have added quite a few knights as you can see.... moving into the royal barracks i added some decorative crowns ( more conquered kingdoms  :lol:) and some other small changes. In the barracks i also added some soldiers . In the town i added about 25 townfolk all classic 70s medieval paesants and as you can see the city is more occupied than ever. there are  more pigs and more cows in the city also and also the stork nests have been set  :love: Outside the city there have some major improvements. Over 20 (!!!) nabbers have been added to the outside walls, there are a lot of banners now everywhere !!! I have also created some small farming areas with fences and also a new area for sheep and some cows plus two loaded carts ....  everywhere elese there are lots of black lion guards preparing to inavde the old empire.... in the forrect i added some animals and also added over 30 yellow dragons in the dragons alliance kingdom where i also made some minor imporvements. anyways, i will stop talking , post the pics and go to bed i plan to spent all day at the den too tomorrow

Thank you Sir. I wish i had more space to set my remaining 200 or so black lion guards, 160 gauls and 100+ vikings and the viming ships and sets.... and the wolf knights ( mercenaries ) .. but no space .... I started sorting iut my remaining steck too, there is a lot and i mean a lot left enough to make a castle half the size of this set up probably... Anyways i have a cunning plan to create more space so more to follow soon hopefully

PS : Make sure you see my video of all that too  ;)

Adding music is a nice idea, but the slower motion is kind of strange to watch. I think it'd be cooler if you filmed it slower instead of just slowing down the video speed. It makes the flow look unreal. :lol: And now it's really long!

but the slower motion is kind of strange to watch. I think it'd be cooler if you filmed it slower instead of just slowing down the video speed. It makes the flow look unreal. :lol: And now it's really long!

  It adds magic to KRULL  :o :o :o :o ;)
 
 
I think it's really nice sir George !!  :) you can make another one by covering somehow the shelves on the back etc.... and use more and different lighting,
+ slow motion  ;)

Looks great as always  :)

It did occur to me though that your city can only be entered from one side.

As you can see from the bookshelves surrounding Krull, the city is well naturally fortified from the mountains around them! So there is only one way to enter the city... and that is the reason it never fall into enemy hands  ;D ;D ;D ;D
Strategic intelligence coming from one who has visited George's playmoden  ;)

Well said Sir Wolf. One gate is use for entrance and one for exit both next to each other ( traffic control  :lol: :lol:)  . Castle of Krull has 4 water wells and storages full of flour, food and livestock etc and of course lots of Krullian Ale  enough to survice a siege for a long time. I was even going to put a moat around the castle but i dont have the space for it - this would justify the use of those gates. In my previous set up i used a total of 4 such gates on three sides but i think its much safer as sir wolf said to have 2 doors both in one side and more realistic.  :knight: :knight: :knight:

It will take a big army to successfully siege and conquer  that castle !!!!  :lol: :lol:

Hello George.

I have seen your work many times as a guest  here on playmofriends forum and of course all your videos on YouTube. ;)
You have an incredible collection with so many steck sets and so many figures, this is amazing ,congratulations. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
The castle is fantastic with very nice scenes and many details, it's very impressive. :omg: :omg: :omg:
I admire your talent my friend, well done. :hatoff:

Thank you George. I cant wait either and i have some new ones but hey are so similar to the ones i have posted i have decided not to post anything for a while until something significant is added or changed. Since i have run out of space, i might decrease the dragons area and add the vikings/ gauls next . I dont think the dragonland  kliklcies match really i might take them out of the Krull equation actually . apart from their towers and dragons this is . Need more 3669 actually.  :lol: :lol:
Title: Re: Giorginettos Medieval Collection
Post by: Giorginetto on June 18, 2012, 20:06:31
Hello all !!! Its been a while since i have been to the Master Den since our last addition to the family . Spending a good few hours for two days i must say it has been very refreshing. Following some good advice of playmofriends i made some changes to my custom steck tower. I think it looks much more formittable now. this tower will be the home of the wolf knights - the main force of the legendary fighter's club- mercenaries but not assasins.... thanks all for the advice. ALso set up my new 3666 banners to the northern wall. i love those banners, there are over 80 now in my castle set up and some 3665 banners now to follow. Also set up a few more black lion guards, still have another 110 or so to set in their plastic bags, finding space is a problem in the current world of krull... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:... i took some pictures of the  marching army , some good dominos too place during photo shooting too.... i also set up some extra 3669 sets i bought recently - still have a few more coming; in the picture there are 75 or so 3669 horse knights and have another 6-7 on the way , plan is to go up to 150 3669 horsed knights... will take a while.... anyway the plan is to get far more yellow dragon knights and replace eventually the dragonland series /sets which i dont find 'agreeable' i must say. My 2 x MISB 3665 sets arrived today too !!!! ! :love: :love: :love: :love:, will do a full review and then set them up, will use some of the empty shelves space to set up my rock temple and green dragons and put a playmo suspended or steck bridge there too. will then set the two new 3665 towers too.....  Planning to get some 3666 sets and also will place a couple of massive steck orders in the following 12 months and also get some more medieval steck classic houses etc. preparations have started for my next medieval castle/ set up ( the poor viking and gauls i have and lion castles and many other klickies will finally be set too !!) that will take place in late 2013 by then i will have all the extra steck and klickies to set up the entire world of krull in my underground garage where there is plenty of space . Meanwhile i will try and set as much as possible , there is hardly any space without stepping on a black lion guard in the world of Krull !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:... Anyways here are  a few pictures of my latest work / set up

For those who thought that probably the Empire of Krull has demised in oblivion, let it be known that they are not only wrong but also their lives in danger by the ever so growing might of Krull !!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have been busy the past few days doing some reorganization of my playmobil collections and trying to start getting the wheel in motion for the gradual move to my playmoden in athens where everything i have will be eventually moved there and set up /displayed. Anyways , thats not going to happen soon or easy so apart from that i have continued to set more of my medieval collection. bot really shown in the pictures below but i have set another 70 or so black lion guards and now only about 70-80 remaining. i would to count the balck lion guard when its all set i estimate no less than 950 and no more than 1050 or so ... i have made a few more town folk klikcies courtesy of that  bag full of klickies i found a couple of months ago where some old medieval klickies were there amongt mostly city life old 70s and 80s klickies . i have made some minor changes to the city of Krull and you can see some of these changes - additions really in the pictures below . The dragonland towers will be removed and i will either set the additional yellow dragon towers i have ( 2x MISB with carton also- it will be quite something to open these and set them up i tell you !!! ) or remove the dragons all together from the set and set up my vikings /gauls and also ANOTHER  smaller city with 7-8 steck houses and the custom tower/castle i created some months ago. i am more inclined for the second option as it will allow me to set another city- only small this time - but with two brand new bakeries ( one will be a bakery the other will be either a butcher or fish shop) and some yellow, green steck houses and the lovely steck trsain station ( minus the clock and signs of course !!!) . Anyways, i will work on this in the following weeks and hopefully post some pictures of the new developments of the world of Krull. I will use the existing playbig viking boat also ( 76cm length!) and might even be tempted to open the Playbig second viking boat i have MISB though i think this would be unwise as its sooo rare to have one MISB these days  and i guess it must be worth a few $$$$s by now but i am known to open MISB anyways  :lol: :lol: :lol:.    Without further ado here are some pictures from the world of Krull, you can see the 4 mighty generals of krull plus general Sir agnar and Sir Arnaud's latest creation my female general of krull ( whose name eludes me at the moment  :lol: :lol:) along with the Emperor Iseroth .... and here are the pics .. more to follow very very soon ! PS: I have managed after 3 years to get to the number of 3669 sets i wanted to have  , pics to follow soon of a rather big yellow dragon army too !!!!  :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight:

Title: Re: Giorginettos Medieval Collection
Post by: Giorginetto on March 19, 2013, 20:59:31
crowded is a polite way of putting it  :lol: :lol: :lol:

i will have to remove the dragons all of them and set there the vikings/gauls and also the village nearby . might not be able to set them all up actually as space is a big issue.. between the two i prefer to set the second village and tower and create a beachhead where the vikings can land and invade this village etc. and finally put together a decent photostory from Krull !!!!  i wont be abel to set everythign till i start setting things in my next den . this project will take a lot of time and cost and wil start it probably after the summer, god knows where i will find the strength to pack all this and re set them ( or the time  :lol:) but i thas to happen to be able to set everything together ....

I have created a custom tower that will be used as the guards tower in my new village: guards custom tower, 1 bakery , 1 fish shop ( custom bakery) , 2 tents /open market , 1 yellow steck house, 1 green steck house, 1 steck train station - modified of course to suit the era and 2 more steck plain houses .. :)

Alas all, I just returned from a 2 day stay at the Master Playmoden. I hardly ate neither slept the past 2 days as I spent a lot of time at the den. And it has been a busy two days at the world of Krull , shortly before its upcoming demise and rebirth at a different place that will allow my whole collection to set, over 400 more klickies waiting, 10 steck houses, more castles and of course me beloved Vikings . anyways, thanks to my recent purchase I added over 100 klickies  and they are everywhere  :lol: :lol: :lol:. more nurnburgers , guarding the imperial palace, more people in the royal yard, more knights of all kinds especially the customized heavily armored ones, now I have 5 such captains with doubled horned helmets and a new general, their general with the tall yellow feather - General Gore and you can guess from the name a very ruthless and fierce-some general unlike the four brother generals or general Agnar which some of youse might remember from the tournaments. there are still a few more soldiers to add, in the city more klickies have been added , more carts, a double horse wooden cart is yet to go in ( no space !!) and a lot of classic klickies have been added including two additioa  classic water carriers with the double bucket shoulder carrier a rare item indeed of which  till now I only had one. I added more furniture and other stuff and also another 20or so yellow knights . anyways enough writing here are a few pictures, next time it will be a different set up , much bigger and better!!!! A  photostory full of war and fighting and big armies before that though , where you will see all the generals of KRULL Empire in Action destroying the few remnants of opposing forces to Emperor Iseroth .....   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's a good thing your troops are so well trained or there's no way they could ever get anything done with the crowds to plow through to get anywhere. Looking great if a little over crowded George.  Hopefully the planned new space will be able to accommodate Krull flowering to it's true size and glory.

.. and here is a 'farewell'  picture collection with some era music on my youtube channel. god knows how will i find the strength to dismantle all this but the consolation is its going to be a bigger set up in the future ...

Good-buy from the world of Krull , Era II ( there will be a battle mind you before i pack it all up) and in late 2014 Era III will be set up.....

 :o Wow and then some my Mum thinks I've got to many Klickies  ;D can tell the new space'll be much appreciated certainly right now every inch is being used and that Krull need not fear attack with such a mighty imrpessive army I particularly like the training area and the striped shields look good I'm guessing it's a custom design?

Indeed, as well as a number of custom klickies , such as my King in Jousting Armor ( not shown here byt my avatar ) , the 4 magnificent generals , general Agnar, the Viking champion etc. All designed and brought to life by Atelier Cowabunga  :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

So... this is the land where all medieval Playmobil comes from  ;D

I've never seen anything like it, not even in expositions or PM fairs  :o   I sure hope no panic breaks out, and for that matter, no eathquakes either!

Did they keep falling with a domino effect? That happens here all the time.

You've got an amazing collection, Giorginetto  :love:

Thanks for your kind words. I have run out of space and the room this is all set is very constrained now. The day before yesterday i was setting up some classic medieval klickies - additional knights this is and with all the excitement, i bumped on a side and about 50 klickies felt etc , took me quite some time to set them all up as space is very resticted inside this city and there are too many klickies. one of the wooden platforms depsite its strong support ( plastic crates underneath ) has buckled considerably and I am also concerned the whole think might collapse -  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ( hopefully not as i put some extra support now )

I really need to pack it all up and reset it elsewhere so i can set up the rest of my trees, yellow dragons, wolf knights ( all in boxes) , steck houses ( 8-10 more) and another castle and my vikings/gauls . its just not easy to pack it al up after all this time and effort has gone into it
 Hopefully i will have some help from a Playmo Guru ...... ;)

Giorginetto, you always have such a massive and great collection, but what I've always thought is the coolest part is your forest. That's a really cool feature, to have a forest outside of Krull like that with the characters throughout it (the maiden with the unicorns, highwaymen, questing knights, and such).

Post by: Rhalius on January 18, 2014, 22:57:41
It is a beautifull collection, I imagine it won't be easy taking it all down and having to rebuild, but I am sure you have had many ideas about the new version of Krull! should be a lot of fun building up again with so many stuff to build.

Neat forest for certain, maybe for the next version it could be fun to have a road going through it, so you could have wagons and such ride through the forest? Protected by Lion guards of course.

I couldnt agree more, for the next version hopefully i will have amble of space to set up a main road going through the woods and a couple small ones like towards the magician's house etc....

thanks, i still have a few magic trees to set , hopefully in my next set up it will be better spread and people will be abel to see all the animals in it as there are quite a fw but can hardly see them !  :lol:

True, might need some open spaces here and there. Maybe a place for the animals to drink?

Such a large and elaborate world though, can't show this thread to my clickies or they might start asking me questions about why they dont have their own city, a forest to walk through or higher walls. I'd have a mutiny on my hands with clickies refusing to be put back in dark boxes.  :lol:

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have no time at the moment to start packing. so instead i will set up the remaining black lion guards ( 40-50 ) , the yellow dragons ( 20) , the wolf knights will stay boxed  and set up my recent purschases of townfolk. no chance to set any of my steck houses and/or custom tower i have made though. i will set more stuff up , who cares as there is no space and probably towards end of summer start packing. there might be a couple of surprises in large scale too till then !  ;)

... been busy searching and buying some classic medieval town folk , their ebay prices have gone up the past 10 years or so ... not so easy to find want to find more  for my next set up. regardless in a few days i will be setting the reamining of Damo's medieval stuff and my latest purchases . the city /castle of krull will be even more crowded but who cares  :lol: :lol: :lol:.. and will be posting some pictures probably askign can you spot the difference with the previous ones etc ....  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

will be getting a fair amount of steck too soon.... i need LOTS ....... i have decided my next medieval set up to be more than 50% bigger of current   :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco:

Well Sir  Tim , allow me to explain .....


The excessive stress caused by thoughts of having to pack the lot can only be alleviated by purcashing and setting much more in the already existing set up. The trouble is the wooden foundations are not safe  at all anynore with all this weight they have deformed and who knows the whole set up might collapse  :o :o :o , then i will have no choice but to pack  :P . So my ingenious solution is to buy and set much more - i want to get lots more townfolk and soldiers, i will set them in the roofs if necessary and steck , there is no space to set steck but my idead is to buy more steck , pack it in boxes and put the boxes underneath for extra foundation . You see sir Tim there is a solution for everything as long as logic prevails

Still dont know  here to fit me vikings/gauls  and Krull's port  :( :(....

The 3rd era of the world of Krull aint over yet ....

This weekend I managed to spent some time in the den and set up 20 more medieval townfolk all very rare pre 80s figures , also set up a few more soldiers here and there and a couple of custom klickies you can see a merchant in one picture in all red clothes and a hooded  hunter in the forest whom you cant see. It was great fun adding more klickies in this overcrowded city ,  :lol:, a few fell in the process especially those in the foundations. Picking up two steck houses from playmobil tomorrow that means I have 10 new and unused steck houses to add to this city and I plan to get another 4-6 so add more or less another 15 to this city . I am posting some pictures if you look closely and have time to kill and compare them to the previous ones (  8} 8} 8}_) you will notice lots of old male and female farmers , new working outside the city walls , the cart outside the city has a couple now and not just a lonely farmer and there are quite a few farmers in the city and a couple of smithies carrying some equipment for their upcoming store ( god knows how and if I can fit another steck house , might have to wait for my next set up) , still have a few more klickies to add, lots of furniture to add to the steck houses. I also added a lot of very shiny old silverware in the castle but forgot to take pics. anyways here are a few pics , probably look exactly the same to most as the previous ones but there are no less that 25 more klikcies added here and some of them are in the  mayor's guarded house where there  are 3 couples going up the stairs for a dinner meal . anyways here a few more pics as I haven't started packing the lot yet ...  ;D ;D ;D

Well i have managed to collect 'quite a few spare steck' pieces but need some more and specific ones too. Will be placing a steck order soon with Playmobil and the plan is to start dismantling this set up and at the same time start building the next . I wont do everything at once, will start with the castle walls and fortifications  first , then  the knights / barracks, palace etc  then the city houses and folk , then the forrest etc , this time the vikings ( in combo with my gauls for their light infantry and arrow fodder  :lol: :lol:)  will be set also and  all the wolf knights. Have quite a few more townfolk also and a couple more steck houses to add ( over extra 10 steck houses  now to set) and i am contemplating if i should get more pine trees, pretty keen to have two separate forests but them oak tree pretty rare to find these days unfortunatelly ...  :'( :'( :'(

Hopefylly my new set up will be all set within the next 12 months. Wont be easy to dismantle all this but as I will be setting a new set up i wont mind that much i suppose ........  :knight: :knight: :knight: :knight:

 I always find it hard to tear down anything that I have made.   :'(  That is the reason  there are so many houses taking up space in the family room.   :-[ 
Best of luck on your newest creation.  Sounds like it is going to be a fun project.   ;D

A shame to take it all down, but building up an even better setup will be a lot of fun too! surely over the years you must have noticed stuff you werent happy about or would have done differently when building again. Might be a great chance to add roads for example!  ;)

Best of luck with the project George. I don't mind tearing down castles, because I know that then I get to build them again. Each time there are new parts for me to add, or I have found new ideas to try and interesting new floor plans to play with. It's always easier to start from zero building than to try to rework an existing building as well. I am sure you have plans to be organized about it, but my biggest advice is to split the parts up into storage bags and boxes by type as you go. It is so much easier to build again if you know you can reach into a particular bag for a two way connector etc. I found a brand of zippered storage bag that's just the right width for the wall connectors, makes it much easier.

Some very good tips there , thanks. Finding the time is going  to be the most difficult task  :lol: :lol: :lol:. The bit of free time outside famila i have these days I  spent it in  my car restoration project that has been going on for 2 years now but its pretty much 100% complete ( over 200 parts bought and installed !!! ) which has been great fan and I am very proud of the result. My restored sports car has been featured in a car dealer promo video and will also be featured in a car magazine in a couple of months ( !) , thi sis all done now though so its back to playmobil soon and  hopefully this project will start soon . I will do the castle walls first and overall steck design and then put in the steck houses in a more  realistic fashion and with bigger roads too indeed ! . So much to do but i am sure it will be less stressful as progress is made !!!

Alas , more klickies added to the world of krull, about 30 of them as well as furnishings and other details, i wouldnt say try to spot as i cant even spot them my self ! Have 12 steck houses now to add to the city plus a custom steck castle / keep as well as two baron old steck towers that are still MISB.. and to mention the vikings etc etc .. anyways its ALL GOING  TO BOXES SOON ( !!!!!) so here are some pictures before its all packed away... i am keen to set it all up in a private garage that is 200m2 but with all this climate change there are tremendous floods in athens where this garage is and it was a lucky escape a few weeks back as there was 2m of water only a few metres away from this underground garage ! at the moment i only have most of my victorian collection there, in boxes., where my medieval collection is set ( different city) there is no such risk. So i am a bit hesitant to set all this up in the garage despite the measures taken ( auto anti flood pump and aux system etc ) so i dont know yet if and where i will set it up..... anyways all the stuff will be packed up soon ( its been set since late 2009 !!!!) ,so here are some last pictures before the world of krull goes in boxes... ( only temporarily though as it will be set again ...)

i hope you dont get bored of seeing more pics of this set up asi have posted plenty already as well as videos ...  :-[ :-[ :-[.. but there are the last ones of the biggest diorama i have set up in my life and with parts and sets i have had since 1978 so allow me to be a bit sentimental here as this is the ' This is the world of krull signing off' ( narrated in a similar fashion as Lt Ripley in Alien at the end...) . So this is my last post and the last of the world of Krull , the story line  and the set will be different in my next set up, as this iseroth character will be more of a darker and despotic figure with magic powers too ( currently reserved for the king of the dragons alliance )  and there will be a new set of prominent characters and a complete different set up with focus on sea  and ships as well as  islands and vikings/gauls and wooden castles too .. and  more dragons and magic and big open  farms /farmers . Anyways this is it folks , the end of an era in the world of KRULL....  :wave:

Gigantic enterprise, Giorginetto! End of an era, indeed.

Somehow it now feels like the soldiers are moving out of the city and everyone is preparing to move out.  :)

... in extremely orderly fashion, because the domino effect is looming  ;D

phew...I haven't seen a private collection on such a scale.  Magnificent!! 8}  And what a confrontation looming. The aftermath would be incredible...but terrifying.

Seeing this again since some time...your collection is breathtaking.

The pictures of the massed lance troops got me thinking that it would be cool to recreate one of those medieval battle paintings in klicky fashion. I'm talking about ones like these:

Yes - that would be incredible.  Actually, using playmobil to recreate so many of the old classics would be an interesting project.  I wonder if anyone has had a go at the last supper? 8-)

well everyone , hello !  ;D

I am still about in case anyone wondered but raising two kids takes a lot more time than i thought so dont come to this wonderful forum as much as i hoped for. I have added a few klickies in the medieval collection and set up and have now 13 steck houses waiting to be added but need to bring down a wall and connect two rooms to gain more space  :lol: :lol: or move all this collection to a private underground garage that has lots of space ( 280m2) BUT i dont have the time at the moment. hopefully one day. THe set up is still up , no dust thank god thanks to air purifiers working 24/7 since 2011  :lol: :lol:

here are a few pics of the set up . enjoy , especially any new members that havent seen the most unreasonable set up of all time , there are klickies everywhere  :lol:

I am gong to try get Panos ( Wolf Knight) to help out and maybe this summer i move all this medieval set up to a different location so i can set the extra steck houses, the 300+ vikings and their naval base ( inc a used and a mint playbig viking ship which i have MISB at the momnent but suits playmos perfectly ) and the extra trees ( lots more ) and the wolf knights i still have boxed .... So much to do and so little time perhaps Panos will help and we will make a diorama almost doule the surface of this one....  :wave:

As there are over 20 more steck houses to add and many more klickies (still to use 160 gauls as foot soldiers for the vikings camp that is yet to set ) , plans within  plans are being set to pack all this set up and set a new much  bigger set up  in a big underground garage. One day in 2018 pictures wil be posted when its all set so watch this space, I may be absent a lot these days BUT not gone !!! :wave:

The next set up will have at least  double the footprint of this one at least so that the klickies are more spread and makes  more sense  ;D

If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the top right side of the screen and click them. A drop down should appear. Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on extensions. Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions." In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter. Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again

After so many years of setting up this collection, and after two kids ( 6 and 2 now)  :lol: i am very emotional to report that this set up is still standing  ::) with a few additions as clearly there is no space. I  have lots of additional steck houses ( 15 or so) to add , and with over 40 4 way connectors I am very keen to create a totally different and bigger set up , this time using also the vikings i have ( in combo with 170 gauls as foot soldiers ) as well as more trees etc. To achieve this i will have to box all this set up and transport it to a garage currently 70miles from where all this is set . Watch this space as only and when this is done and the new set is completed I will post pics and update this threat that I am so happy to see that it has received so many views and replies over the years .

A quick update to a long forgotten diorama and life project. A most likely layout of the next diorama has been drawn. it will involve putting in the castled city another 15 steck houses and also more klickies. I will also set up all of my vikings and toying with the idea to used a Playbig viking ship as their master ship next to the playmobil viking ships . I will probably also use my 150 strong gaul army ( still MISB bags) as foot soldiers for the vikings realm as i think they go well together . will use more trees and animals in the forest and also set up a proper dragons army layout and not this crazy overcroweded set up. I have estimated to set it all up properly i will need about 40m2 of elevated wooden boards as i have done with this set up. I have this space but elsewhere so my current dioramata will have to dismantled , packed , transported and that is probably the hardest part

I havent decided if i use the new dwarfs and trolls. I also find my green and red dragons collections and their dragons and castles somehow aligned with the rest of my original 90s dragons collection and rest really

I have a big debate at the moment if my next castle will be 2 steck level high walls or 1 level as per original . i most certainly find the 2 level walls far more impressive but i think something is lost somehow when building such high walls. either way 1 level or 2 level the next castle will have two walled wallswith lots of square and round towers as per current diorama. any advice or views on whereas to go 2 level high again or return to 1 level steck walls will be more than welcomed. I estimate it will take me 12- 18 months to do all this once i start ...

..but they are still in their plastic bags .... it will be a while till all these are set up. Meanwhile as i mentioned above I am very interested to hear views and opinions if i should make the castle wall two steck levels high or single level for the reasons mentioned above . its a difficult question  that i want to decide upon as having over 40 4 way connectors now will allow me to make much more complex and interesting steck designs.....

Do the biggest, most complicated and interesting design you can. If that means 2 levels, do it.

One of the things about going two high is that then you will likely feel the need to go higher on the castle as well. I often feel like the ground floor of my bigger Steck constructions is almost wasted space. It feels like a basement rather than part of the main living areas somehow. Some of that is because I don't put windows on the ground floor usually, so that's certainly a factor. (most of my castles are at the North Pole and I am concerned about snow drifts so don't put windows on the ground level) Also just for defensive reasons I wouldn't think windows - and therefore more light - would be a thing you want on ground floors.
Two high walls do seem more forbidding of course.
On the other hand a certain open quality is nice for the viewer who is looking at your diorama and big walls can get in the way of that.
Don't know if I have been much help, but those are my initial thoughts. A general vague vote int he direction of single high walls I guess.
Nice to see you posting again George!

Definitely and entrances to keeps (donjon) were often higher up to make it harder to smash the door in. Playmobil keeps do this well. You have to go up stairs to get to the living areas.

I think the curtain wall height will depend on the footprint of the castle. If it's large then two walls high should be used. I assume lots of klickies will be used in this so higher walls will stand out better.

Don't know if I have been much help, but those are my initial thoughts. A general vague vote int he direction of single high walls I guess.
Nice to see you posting again George!

thanks for the view and thoughts Tim. As much as I like the 2 level steck walls which do look quite impressive especially with all the 3666 banners on them ( I have over 30 on my current set up ) the single level will allow a much bigger foot print ( god knows how  I will access the centre , I need to learn to fly somehow ... :P) , if someone bothers to look at a very early diorama in my website you will understand. I want to make a complex design of inner walls as well now that I have 4 wayers and two level most certainly hide and make it almost impossible as you say Tim.... I might go crazy on Iseroths living quarters though , its already 6 storey and with the 4 wayers I will double the width ( aleluja) and probably add a couple more levels there !!!!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The first picture for this thread is very impressive. Your collection is absolutely massive! What are those blackened medieval houses? Also, if you don’t mind explaining, how did you enclose your ramparts so that there are battlements on either side of the rampart walkways? (left walled side of the forts photo)...

Thanks so much for your kind words !!!!  :-[ :-[ , cant believe it was all set up over  10 years ago.... the middle wall with battlements is my favorite, in fact when i set up my next steck medieval diorama with all of my steck ( over 60 houses and more walls) i dont plan to go two level up but keep all the walls in one level but with battlements on both sides most likely as in the said middle wall in my diorama separating the troops garrison and kings quarters from the city.  These walls look amazing with the original steck gates with red stripes as well. LOVE STECK  :prays: :prays:

Cant wait to use the 4 wayers as well  , i have like 30 or 40  of them iirc , they give a whole new meaning to complex steck designs , next time  the kings quarters will have twice the depth and look monumental.

Thank you for posting again about “layer up walls” I was just about to respond to the last post where you mentioned such. Please do explain what you are talking about. You mentioned that one layer up was the most realistic in a different thread and now you are talking about wanting to go four layer up. Your work is definitely an inspiration for me and one day when I have enough playmobil, I would like to have a better understanding concerning some of these artistic endeavors. Any and all help with wall work would be greatly appreciated...

One level up and use of the 4 way connectors , I was dreaming for 4 wat steck connectors for decades and our dreams came true some years back. they allow connections to all 4 corners a must have for more complex steck buildings !!!! cant wait !!!!

Interesting, I found the four way connector, but I’m struggling with the realization of what forms of buildings or ideas that can be sprung from such a piece. I have no doubt there are many fun creations- I just can’t seem to think of what great mysteries this solves. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, would love to expand my mind. Also, the “level up” wall differences remain an elusive and confusing subject for me. Apologies, I’m still learning...

No worries , I learn something new everytime i log into this awesome forum !!! The 4 way connectors is an absolute gem. Far more complex wall designs to all directions  can be created , bigger , deeper steck rooms can be made , really solves all the limitations posed by the 3 way connector. As for the level up question I refer to the number of steck walls on one another. If you see the external walls of my medieval diorama there are two levels up and the square towers are three levels up steck wall  +  steck roof. The amazing round steck towers are 4 levels  up + steck round roof. The middle wall with fortification on both sides separating the kings quarters and the barracks from the city ( overcrowded all of them  :lol:)  are only onelevel - one steck wall with the square towers going up two levels + steck square roof. I hope all this explains . One last think , 4 way connectors can create steck bridges connecting towers and buildings.. how awesome is that !!!!  :yippee: :yippee:

I have over 60 steck houses, lot of unused walls and steck, my next diorama , probably when i retire and have some time will be quite something, plan to add a huge port to it with ships and the vikings/gauls base with longboats  !!!! and 1000 more klickies most likely   :loco: :loco: :loco:
