Wow! I live the church! If the people attending had any idea of what was going on in the attic lol
-
Oh wow, the inside pictures of the big hall are great. Where are those chandeliers from? They're gorgeous!
The architecture is very well done, with those 'niches' and arches. And I like the statues of saints!
But the attick is my favourite scene :)
-
Again an impressive building.
-
Thanks , chandelier are from the original church .
-
Great display! :)
-
Wow that church set was gone too soon. This is another great example of what can be done with those very useful basic pieces. I love the shots looking up to the ceiling and you can see these very tall pillars, really great observation.
-
thanks , yes the roof of the church is wonderfull .

Your gorgeous system X buildings make me wanna get all of it in the empty playmoroom and FINALLY try to do SOMETHING...
However, I have no idea where most of the stuff is - only those last churches (which will of course be something else), since they were bought more recently...
-
:D i'm glad to hear that ! the process 2em ??? is coming ???
be carefull Tahra ... You gonna break all your playmo buiding soon !! (i don't have many building as the original at house personnaly ....) if you start , it will be difficult to stop !!
News ideas = news parts needed and generally , there's always something to buy to complete what we try to do and it has a cost of course .
Sincerelly , you don't have to know where parts comes from (i know , if you need help , i will be glad to help you ! ) , i can give you fews links where you can have choice in private if you want ; generally try to buy kg or big box with a lot of parts , buying just small parts is expensive but difficult to not do that when you need only a roof for example .
Carrefull : system x is not lego , lots of things doesn't work and need to think (compatibilty problems ! ) .
You can do small cute house with the roof of the church and few wall , i will try to do the set up of one i have in the week to show you possibility with very little mix of parts .

That is what I am afraid of... I never liked system X. Mainly because it was just plain white buildings, well, HALF buildings, and they were so... ugly, compared to my beloved Steck. And the holes.. GODS, the holes!
We did get the first system X castle. Our response to it was to go to ebay and buy a couple more 3666.
I never did any real building with system X. Assembled some sets, and even with the darn instructions I managed to make mistakes. Putting those idiotic pieces on the parts is NOT my idea of fun (never got over that space station trauma - over THREE FREAKIN HUNDRED of those.)
After we stopped buying the whole catalog, we stayed away from system X... mostly. But I do think that maybe it would make nice roman stuff. My romanish buildings lose something from being grey stone...
Like Sir Pleamo said, building with System X requires a different mindset, I suppose. One I never achieved. :-[ Maybe (If I live to see the playmoroom done and find the system X stuff) I will eventually manage something. Then I can kick myself over the not bought sets, and give my wallet yet ANOTHER reason to murder me....

I suppose all depend of the interest we have . Sure the old house vintage and first caltle are really beautifull , sure the 3666 is the best to create big one or medieval town or an town with old house , we see recently 2 wonderfuls diorama in spain who show us how it could be beautifull and also look real . The possibility to make big house and to change things are really limited , the number of parts as well , theses house are small and it's a bit like the western : very beautifull outside and very difficult to do the inside and not easy to put a lot of furniture in : a bed and a table with 2 click ...
In the beginig of system x , there was fews moulds and not many possibility , i agree theses holes was not pleasant for the eyes but it not worth than lego with cube everywhere ! Now we have a lot of roofs (build a town with one roof will be bad , i wait a long time before taking my decision in putting a lot of money in this project ) , a lot of differents possibility for door and windows , furniture start to be more important as well . It's very different : for me system x is more a concept who play with stereotipes parts , it's not so important to be near reality but representation of reality is what we can do with it . At house we like creativity , playmobil is a way to do something else but we are really not interesting (and we cannot ...) in bying 10000 roman and 500 tents , it's easy if you have money to do a diorama of 1000 m2 but i can see the same at the supermarket and i will stay 5 mm to watch that (no surprise , nothing new) , that's why we break and create new things with playmobils , as you see my building are also made with the idea of what i will put inside . When i will finish this town (100 buidings ) , i will do an exhibition : lots of surprise , hours to look at all details and all buiding differents with lot of style , social critique as well : impossible to do that with steak !! i have an old centrum with streak for my town but i don't need a lot , too boring , it's nice but always the same wall ...
If you ask me what is beautifull for me : steak ; what is more creative : system x . In fact we are not interesting in copy reality , we like stereotipes ; for me playmobil is a toy made for that , if we wanna make something who look reel , we will choice other thing or toy (i don't know) but no playmobil . I feel a bit proud of that : you don't like system x but you like my buiding so there must be something who work in our way to play with that toy ! I think lot's of people change their point of vue about system x seing my building and what is possible to make , i really hope geobra won't stop this system and will make new parts ! ps : maybe our wallet can talk together , mine feel very "empty" too and is near suicide . :lol:

Fantastic diorama and photography, Jeremy! Love it! :love: And what's happening in the attic; I read a second story in it.. a metaphor: How people can be...sanctimonious. The great church hall shows how people appear: godly and pious; the attic shows what's going on their minds (also the top floor in your body!) and how they really are... ;D
Excellent!

thanks :wave:
