Getting Started > Welcome!
Hello from Birmingham, United Kingdom
Ismene:
Welcome Neil!
Many of us struggle with a space issue. I *just* cleared off enough space to set up my old Victorian house, and that took years. I'm not sure how long it will last with life and all. If you can clear off or put up a small shelf, you can have rotating displays of klickies (probably not the buildings). I have, in the past, done horrible things like putting Playmobil on top of books on the bookshelf (not recommended because they can easily fall behind the bookcase :lol:) or having klickies on my already crowded desk. I'm trying to be judicious in my purchases, so that I don't have more than I can appreciate, but it is hard when lovely sets come out. Some sets and themes I have to enjoy vicariously through Playmofriends.
I hope you can find a creative way to enjoy your collection, despite the space limitations of your apartment.
Pynedor:
Welcome! :)
It can certainly be difficult to have enough storage and display space. And often when space becomes available, it is quickly filled. The others have shared some great ideas for managing a collection when space is limited, but perhaps you could look for a larger home (if possible)! ;)
NeilMartin:
Thank you very much Karim, Eplay, playmofire, GrahamB and Ismere both for the warm welcome and great ideas/thoughts. I'm not actually in the UK at the moment but when I do get home I will get myself a 20cm x 30cm dome, I already have a couple of dioramas in mind.
I've attached a couple of photos, the first shows part of my Tercio from when I did have a display cabinet, the second photo is my first attempt at a small castle (still a work in progress). I hope that you like these, all feedback and building advice/tips are welcome.
Best wishes,
Neil

Welcome from Portugal!
I suppose a klicky theme only leads to others... making space a a constant problem... :(
Your army looks great :love: - looking forward to more!

Welcome from Oregon USA!
Display spots are always tricky. I've been making do with the top of the piano and a sideboard in the dining room the last couple of years. I had a zPlaymo room in my old house and while I have storage space now I am still trying to figure out where to put my diorama table in the different spaces where I am now.
