Title: My new cruise ship diorama
Post by: playmojimmy on December 30, 2023, 06:57:57
I would like to show you my largest and longest lasting Playmobil diorama.  It is a mega-sized cruise ship of 230 cm long and 120 cm high. 

I designed and built the cruise ship myself with the well-known Playmobil building system called "system x".  I covered a lot of the cruise ship with paper and fabric.  The entire diorama is also equipped with light, so that it shines beautifully in the dark.  In total, I spent more than a year and a half building this diorama.  The entire cruise ship is fully equipped and has everything you need.  There is a lot to experience for Playmobil visitors.  I have therefore challenged myself to provide as many fun activities on the ship as possible.  It was sometimes quite difficult because I have never seen a cruise ship in real life.  I had to do a lot of research to find out exactly how a cruise ship works.  The project was also not successful all at once, at one point I made the difficult decision that after almost a year of building it, I would tear the entire diorama down to the ground and start all over again.  After I had dismantled the entire cruise ship, construction started again.  At first I was really not happy with how the cruise ship was put together, it just wasn't right.  It is also quite difficult to build a ship from a system that is not actually intended for that purpose at all.  After more than half a year, the cruise ship is finally ready, and I'm quite happy with it!!!!

I will post pictures of this cruise ship diorama below. So you can see with your own eyes how and what this Playmobil cruise ship has to offer!!! 

Greetings playmojimmy

I hope you like it because I have been working on this monster diorama for a long, long time 😉

I also have photos of the cruise ship in the Christmas spirit and photos of the construction of the cruise ship, would you like to see that too?

Wow, that must have taken a lot of work! After a week or two on that cruise ship, you would need a holiday to get over it! There is certainly lots to do on there! Does it all really fit on one ship?

I also have photos of the cruise ship in the Christmas spirit and photos of the construction of the cruise ship, would you like to see that too?

Of course we would!   :picsplz:

OMG  :o

What a Masterpiece you have created with a wealth of details and such creativity  :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

So much thought & love went into recreating all the activities of a modern giant cruises ship and very much lifelike !

I love all the detailed pictures but my favourite would be the blue picture of the ship by "night" quite magical and most definitely a work of Art  :heart:

Whoah this is seriously impressive  :o :love:

I had so much fun recognising the different sets and buildings you used to create this masterpiece. The palace and the hotel work so well in this setting  :D  I love all the different activities and areas you added (hot stone massage, air hockey, actual wallpaper in the suites: splendid  ;D) and like Playmovictorian mentioned, the atmosphere of the ship 'by night'  :heart:

You're so creative. The way you designed e.g. a whole bowling alley using playmoparts: mind-blowing!

Are you kidding? Yes, we would very much like to see more pictures  :picsplz:  :lol:
