Title: Collector's Display Case
Post by: Little Jo on July 12, 2007, 19:26:54: And another item I realized during the PF-free time (i.e. during the forum update period).

Now you can see for what I needed the cupboard from the 3417 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3417) Children's Playroom I was looking for (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1537.0) ;D

(More information on this item you can find here (http://www.jr-x.de/playmobil/customizing/displaycase.html) on my homepage.)

BTW, this is the original real-life display case which was the master for this little work:

Your whole display is getting quite surreal - Jochen in a klicky world with klickies in the klicky world. It's getting rather like the model village in Bourton-on-the-Water. The model village is a model of Bourton-on-the-Water and is in the garden behind the pub. In the model village, in the garden behind the pub, is a model of the model village and in the garden behind the pub in the model of the model village is a model of the model of the model village with in the garden behind the pub........

When I got to the third picture, I didn't notice the caption at first and thought it was another miniature showcase you'd made with miniature copies of your customs!

Uh, no no, this would be to heavy ;)
So I will make the headline/caption for the real-life photo more visible -- don't want anybody to get a heartattack :lol:

What a fabulous idea!!! :clap:

I have been wondering what you were going to make from that old cupboard. ;)

What parts did you make the 'glass' doors from and how do you get them to stay in position?!

Post by: Dan on August 04, 2007, 17:53:57: My Mum loved that model village at Bourton-on-the-Water. I really think it was going to see it with her that got me into models and ultimately Klickies.

So, as you see, I blame the parents!

LOL!
The display cupboard looks identical. What a co-incidence! :o

Aha! So, the doors are made from tic tac box plastic!
(I really should have read your description on your website before asking questions. :-[)

Very clever idea, Jochen. :yup:

I bought mine (I have two of them) some time ago in a DIY store called "toom". If I remember correctly it was about 20 EUR each.

Yes, that's the reason why I put the text "More information on this item [...]" at the top of this thread ;D

I put a little bit of blue-tac on the back, very thin and "glued" it to the wall. (actually I'm using the German equivalent of blue-tac from Pritt or Uhu, but I must admit, that currently I do not know how it's named and it's to late to walk to the basement and have a look :-[)

Untill yesterday I just placed the glass doors loose inside the cupboard. The photo (cf. top) is a little bit "faked" because Little Jo holds the right opened door in place so that it can not be seen, that it is just loose.
Yesterday I put on each side, where in real live the hinge is, a small drop superglue (Sekundenkleber) on the top and bottom of the glass. This was right enough so that now the glasses are "fixed" stuck inside the cupboard body and still can be moved around this "hinge" (similiar mechanism like with cupboard doors of other real Playmobil items) ... don't know if you understand what I mean (maybe somebody understanding can explain it better).
