Title: Another castle from my 2 boys ..
Post by: core on February 12, 2009, 06:56:33

This was from last fall, we had a long weekend and I left the 2 boys (5 & 8 then) alone for a couple of hours in the toy room ... kind of fun/fantasy when dad's into a little PM collecting himself and there's all these pieces ;D
Setup was created mainly for the 'massive' battle scene rather than castle design, or so I was told ...

Looks like a busy afternoon's work!

I like the broken wall sections where the front door would have been - shame Playmo haven't done these in System-X yet. I guess I could create one with a bit of cutting...

I wonder how long they took to make the castle?

Nicely done!  A good afternoon's work I should think and then lots of good play time.   :)

And are the broken walls genuine Playmo, or are they a bit of custom cutting?

That looks really nice. Must have been a lot of fun.

Is it really a toy room or more a Playmo room? I'm thinking in my box as I used to have a playroom which now is more of a Playmo room. The only non Playmo items are our hamsters and their cages.

Looks more like a 'Blue' room, they did do a nice job though.

Nicely done  :wow:! Their attention to detail is excellent! Does it come naturally for them?

Wow, great setup. I especially like the big crack the attacking party has created into the castle's walls.

Thanks all for the kind words - and they have made the 2 kiddos quite happy  :)

I'll post a shot of the room later on when I get it packed a little - fwiw the room's intended purpose is as a guest room (yeah right  ;)) with a roll-out sofa bed, doubling up as the play room at other times with the 2 fold-away tables (let's see, Playmobil (lots), Lego (behind the cupboards and in containers), Board games, and misc stuff).

How fun!  I love seeing what the kids will come up with without adult intervention!  (This week our entire living room was taken over by princesses and pirates, with the 3019 castle under attack by the pirates!  (I have two girls, so pirates seem more popular than "bad knights"! lol)
