Title: Victorian Circus Extravaganza
Post by: Birdie on February 07, 2014, 18:08:32: It's been a while, but finally everything is ready for the evening show of my Victorian circus.
Eventually I abandonned the idea of finding the perfect lighting with mini lantarns and settled for regular Christmas lights on top of the tent. Bear with me ;D

Normally I post my diorama pictures in the Diorama section of the forum, but this is more of a story. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :)

:confetti: Come and see! :confetti:

Post by: tahra on February 07, 2014, 22:57:04: Those are great!

Loved the elephant with the weight... (though I really shouldn't, but in playmoland, everyone is happy :) )

Post by: bonniebeth on February 08, 2014, 02:31:48: Absolutely awesome project, Birdie! I really enjoyed the elephant show... I agree with tahra, in playmoworld even circus elephants are happy. So many lovely details, even in the audience. I loved the way one baby was standing up on its mom's lap. What is that mat the snake charmer was sitting on? Is it playmo?

Yes it's the bed of nails from the 3398 snake charmer set.

I've always wondered what the piece of rope standing upright is supposed to be. Has anybody seen that before, is it standard material for a fakir?

I love the way you arranged the audience and the different artists. The elephant sitting is hilarious. I'm not a big fan of clowns but now I saw Michael Jackson riding a bike.

The rope is used for the 'Indian rope trick'. You can find pictures of this when you use google a normal rope changes into a pilar you can climb in by magic.

Post by: DrDalek6 on February 08, 2014, 12:59:00: What a great circus so much action and so many interesting acts I particularly liked the Arabian family particularly how the little boy looks shocked when his Dad charms the snake out of the basket also the dogs at the end and one of my all time favourite the chimps are always great plus of course the Elephant was great very well posed and a lovely trick offering the lady some flowers. Your audience is really nice as well such a good variety of different costumes and all the families looking so excited :)
