Title: Some pictures of my collection (Castle Neveling, City of Kodosak,...)
Post by: kenc on March 06, 2009, 08:56:03

Hi! Encouraged by the warm welcome I got from you to this board, I decided to post some pictures of my collection.
Most of the pictures have already been posted elsewhere, so sorry for that. I feel like urgently rebuilding castle Neveling because I miss it   :D It's currently put away in boxes  :'(

Enjoy!

Quite staggering photos!  Thanks for sharing.  The use of the lights and the backdrops are really great and as for the System-X church - woooooooooooow!
Also, I've never seen a picture before with a knight dismounting his horse as you have one in your last photo.

Wow, wow, wow!!  These are great and I do recognise your beautiful church!  Great photography (and Photoshop?) skills too! 

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do you do the lights?

So glad that you posted these photos--thank you!

kenc
thank you for reposting them, i remember looking at them via 'another board' and dropping my jaw when i saw neveling and kodosak, and i still enjoyed them just as much again.  i like the angles that you use for your photography, as well as the lighting.

Hi Kenk  :wave:

This is simply awesome !!!

Deep bow for your achievements  :wow: :wow: !!!

Could you possibly post more pictures in the Photo section as your collection really is breathtaking and is museum quality as per its size and settings ?

Could you possibly let us know a bit more about how long you have been a Collector and how long each of the marvels took to achieve ?

Many thanks !!!

Hello, Ken ...

It would seem, from looking at the attached photos, that you may have been the inspiration for Playmobil's new Drachenland Theme ... ;)
(They even included a lightning strike on the box.) ... :)

All the best,
Richard

Great you noticed, Richard, but just a pity that the designers didn't respond to my question to make a set out of Neveling  ;D

Yes, trying to understand Playmobil Deutschland can often be very frustrating.

Especially when we read about how Lego seems to be reinventing itself.

There is a very interesting topic that you may have already been reading here at Playmofriends. The following is a quote by Martin Milner from that TOPIC (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=3147.0):

Quote from: Martin Milner on April 28, 2009, 08:23:17

Another interesting fact - they designed a $300 Star Wars set aimed at the adult collector, and the company thought they were insane, but they sold like hot cakes now there are $500 sets; these big sets become a father-son building experience, re-igniting family play time in the days of video games and the box-in-the-corner-babysitter.

All the best,
Richard

I am impressed/stunned/amazed/fascinated/inspired - you name it - it all fits here perfectly. :wow:  One can hardly call it church - it is rather a cathedral. I am wondering now about the possibility to create castle Neuschwanstein. I like the use of the roman statues and actually hoped to see these in the add-on catalogue. Thanks for the great pisc.
