I agree with tahra, looking great.

The man under the truck is a nice detail and isn't it typical of clowns - there's work to be one and all they can do is clown around!

And the band are very smart - are the figures customs?

But why is the man at the entrance hitting a rabbit on the head with a wand?!  (Joke!  :) )

Thanks playmofire!

I already told tahra that she and you convinced me to keep the handyman in the final diorama! About the clowns, you won’t believe it, but they actually managed to build a stage to perform some musical acts (or did the handymen do it?!). More clown entertainment will be seen in the coming pictures!

About the band; as I told above, they were partly customised, but they don’t come seperately as a set like the Romani band, they come with the circus in set 9040. Though, you can order them separately via the parts service, that’s how I order 3 more of them.

A musical performance by our clowns!


Meanwhile the hard work is going on, I guess there’s an elephant...


Well, good morning everyone!


Breakfast!

Tension is building before the show!

The spotlight photos are superb and a very original idea.

You are a great photographer and scene creator.

Circus is not really one of "my themes", but I decided to check out this thread and I must say your settings are great and the pictures are superb!  8-)  And the Circus Roncalli sets are really nice, the best ones they ever made for this theme.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Wow! you think of everything and the photo titles are nice and to the point.

I hope here is some change from the 100 euro note for the Belgian chocolate.

Great pics - LOVE the hair on the table! And the "opening act" photos are just amazing! :o  :wow:

I thought about that too :)

Thank you Hadoque! It was actually the first theme I fell in love with, since I got some sets of the Romani circus when I turned 6:

Unfortunately a lot of the parts are damaged, because I really liked to play with it. But like you said, the Roncalli sets are really beautiful! I hope Galeria Kaufhof will offer more sets, but I'm afraid so...

Wow! you think of everything and the photo titles are nice and to the point.

I hope here is some change from the 100 euro note for the Belgian chocolate.

I'm glad you really like it playmofire! I will call you if the circus sets fire ;)

Haha, well, at Roncalli we offer chocolate with Golden tickets for the factory of Willy Wonka :lol: (would be an amazing Playmobil theme) ! It's a coincidence you point that out actually, because I was searching myself for smaller notes, but the smallest one is apperently 50, so I didn't change it (and after all we have no clue what the Playmobil currency is of course).

Great pics - LOVE the hair on the table! And the "opening act" photos are just amazing! :o  :wow:

I thought about that too :)

Thanks tahra! I'm glad I finally could use that piano in a diorama! Well, I thought, behind every clown there's a normal person and the idea was born.

:o :clap: :munch:

Please stay seated, Macruran, more acts will be performed!
