Hello :wave:
Today I made my own harbour out on the patio with some blocks I found in the garden. You will need to use your imagination with the sea, and also pretend that the railway line is continuous (I ran out of room) :-[
Here is the first pic, and I will load the rest on like I usually do, but please be patient as there is a lot to upload :)

What i loved most is the old police boat in the boat yard!!!! Great attention to detail there!!! That hangar seems to have a lot and good uses to all your stories!!!
-
Excellent setup and photos Damo :)9, you seem to be able to draw on an inexhaustible supply of Playmobil to flesh out the details in your photostories but every thing is laid out so well! I really like the boat shed, it is spot on. :wave:

The hanger is indeed very useful as it can basically be used as anything you want it to be :)

Thanks Gepetto :wave:
Everything apart from a container ship and goods train :(

I think Panos has said everything I would have said, so I'll be lazy and let him speak for me!
I have the farm storage building and plan to use it as a part of my fire station set up as well as in incidents. You've adapted it in a very clever way for the narrow confines of the harbour.

Great photo story!, Damo :wow:! As always, the details are excellent :)9!

Thanks for the positive feedback Gordon and Bill :wave:

What do you mean :-\ I only plonked it there and haven't adapted the original building in anyway

Looking at another picture, you're quite right, you haven't. However, in this picture:
http://img337.imageshack.us/i/200910020021.jpg/
it looks as if you've adapted it by missing off one side section.
BTW, good to see the LF8 earning it's keep. :wave:

Yes I see what you mean, it does look smaller :-\
And thanks Gordon, the LF8 is great :)

Another great story and photos Damo, as I've said before your attention to detail is superb :wow: :clap:
I especially like the boatyard and I love the photo of Flatcat having eaten your one and only catch!
Well done again.

Thanks Manu, Kaethe, Baden, and Abbot Hamilton - I'm glad you all liked it :)

Brilliant Damo,
As always you have made an extrodinary display. :)
-
you can use my idea to make a small dock to welcome the small boat
a dock like in marina ? you have to use wood it's seem more realistic

Like your loading ramp - yes that is a great idea, and your wooden one looks very realistic! :)

What sort of paint? Outdoor paint for a shed or fence?
