Title: Hello from the Midwest
Post by: UnaSigne on April 27, 2010, 18:00:57: Hello :wave:,
I have been interested in Playmobil for about 12 years, since my oldest boy (now 14) was little. I never had it as a child (perhaps my parents thought them to be a boy toy). Now, my sons are outgrowing it but I'm still enjoying it just as much as I did when we first started. When my head gets too busy with life, I find Playmobil to be very relaxing. I love steck and the whole medieval theme, am restoring more pirate ships then I have room for, like placing DS orders and love to trade. I have a huge 'odd bits' bin, as well. I can customize without too many broken bones, although I'm a bit too much of a purist to do much of it. I've been trying to photograph some scenes but I'm not having much luck getting them to look 'real'.
So, greetings! :)

Your Playmo life seems very similar to mine with a love of steck and medievil and having too many pirate ship projects on the go 8}

We would love to see some of your work :)

BTW, I am pressuming you are in America :hmm:

:-[ Yes, flatcat, you presume correctly! Iowa, to be exact. I've changed my profile to reflect that. :-[
(Although I actually wouldn't mind Swindon, Martin!) ;D

I too am a HUGE fan of the Medieval theme :love: , and a mildly big fan of the pirate theme
(mostly Napoleonics, though I do not actually have any).

I think I speak for all when I say I would love to see your scenes! (Life like, or not.)

Glad to have you here! :)
