Title: Playmobil Theme Park ...
Post by: Richard on January 22, 2006, 17:49:19
Hello, PlaymoFriends ...

I didn't know exactly where to put this ...
So, it's definitely OK with me if a moderator wants to move it ... :)

I spotted this miniature Playmobil theme park over at PlayClicks (http://www.playclicks.com/noticias/foro/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6052&perpage=15&pagenumber=3) and thought that those who had not seen this very interesting display by Victor Hernandez Arcediano (aka Paco Alverez), might enjoy seeing it ... :)

Don't miss the Ski-Lift, the Paddlewheeler, the Nautilus, the LGB Toy Train with the Playmobil Electric Train, and the "lighted" Light House.

Paco's theme park was part of a large display constructed by several of the PlayClicks (http://www.playclicks.com/noticias/foro/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6052&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) members.

Very interesting - thats a clever use of the playground swing ride for the ski lift. Do those seats fit adult klickies or only the children? If adults work it might make a nice sky ride for my zoo.

Thanks for posting these photos, Richard. :)

What a cool display! Looks like it was a big hit, especially with the kids who attended.

My favourite part is the ski-lift. Like Tim, I thought it was a very imaginative use of parts.
And the old-style steamboat with the wheels on the sides is also done well. 8-)

Yes, they are wide enough to seat the average adult klicky too. :yup:

OMG! He painted the victorian fence pillars!?? :o
I don't think I'd dare take a paintbrush to something that rare.

Actually, Paco might have made a mould and those may be just copies ... ;)

They seem to be quite clever over at the Spanish forum (http://www.playclicks.com/noticias/foro/). Take a look ... CLICK HERE (http://www.playclicks.com/noticias/foro/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2784&highlight=malone) and then scroll down. You won't believe your eyes! ...  :o :omg:

Paco, as well as Malone, have been at the forefront of the "casting" movement on Playclicks. So , yes, I am fairly certain it is as Richard has said, and these are castings from molds made from the original fence, and not repainted fences. In fact, I think those guys use tints in order to make their castings in color, and do not need any paint.

The Mofreaky duo have also been casting parts for quite a while, and I believe they even have a short demonstration "how to" video on their site.

OK, Sylvia ... This should answer your question (and allay your fears) once and for all ...
