Just an idea from your kids cool idea and it might fit that longer electric engine.

Yes, indeed. I also bought two of them for my fire rescue engines fleed. The imprints on the building are stickers, so hopefully we see this piece in different situations from Playmobil itself too.

As soon as I finished the setup ;)
The vehicles I already presented here (or on my homepage (http://www.jr-x.de/playmobil/projekte/abs.php?page=4&lang=en)) - nothing special about them but small localization customs.

For the building I want to create some brickwall stickers. The buildings will be used to present my fire brigade team (together with a new special unit) -- but that's off topic in this thread and just an announcement ;)

Post by: playmofire on January 13, 2008, 20:03:46: I look forward to the finished project, Jochen. The changes you made to the fire engine were quite substantial in their overall effect and, as I've just reminded myself, improve the appearance of the fire engine greatly.

When I made a low relief set of buildings out of MDF, I used a commercially produced brick paper for the walls. The actual scale of the paper was 1:16 as the 1:24 scale paper, although about Playmobil scale, didn't look right. I also used a "worn" version rather than a brand new looking brick finish.

Thanks for the hint, Gordon. I would either use such commercial paper (scan and rescale it) or use some tiles found at the Web. In any case I arrange it in the computer to make suitable stickers.
