Wow, there's some excellent customs there, and I've only looked at 2 to 8 so far.  And excellent photos too.  Thanks for the time you've taken, Michael, in editing and creating the pages.  I shall look through some more of the scenes during the coming days.

Hello, Michael ...

Thank you for all the wonderful photos.

I just spent more than an hour looking at them all.

There were so many wonderful customs and displays. After looking at each and every one, I found my favourite custom. I think what impressed me most was its originality and simplicity (please see attachments).

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

Thanks for posting the pictures, Macgayver :wow:
There are some magnificent dioramas there!

I really like the biplane and the cool little old time 3 wheeled car. :yup:

Great stuff!

Oh wonderful! I totally missed this one. Fantastic. Really looks like the original one (on which I walk by every morning at work). Great!

Wonderful displays! I keep coming back to look at the photos and each time I see something I missed the first time. :love:

Totally bowled over the amount of fabulously creative customs on display. The scale of some of the pieces is just staggering, especially the cathedral. Most of us can only dream of owning enough parts to build something amazing like that. :wow:

Thank you both, Michael & Lydia, for all the time and trouble you have spent taking and uploading these photos and for sharing them with the fans all over the world!  :*)

. . . Thank you both, Michael & Lydia, for all the time and trouble you have spent taking and uploading these photos and for sharing them with the fans all over the world!  :*)

I can only echo what Sylvia and others have said!  These beautiful scenes are so inspiring and entrancing!  I have only begun to look at all of the photos and am enjoying savoring them over time. 

One thing I can say for sure right now, though, is that Michael & Lydia's creations are not just Playmobil customs - they are true works of art.  I am absolutely serious in making that statement even though it may seem odd to say that a "mere toy" can be art.  I believe that Michael & Lydia's creations transcend their plastic medium and stand alone as works of sculpture.
