Hello :wave:
I have made a Victorian garage for the car.
I used the dark slate type roof pieces to match that of the mansion's roof.
The doorway is just big enough to allow car and driver to pass through

Really awesome Damo!!!!!!! :o
It looks so life like, and the car fits perfectly! :)
-
Nice work, Damo. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thank you WoT and Gordon :wave:
Damo :)

This is a great idea Damo!!! Well done!!!
-
great scene damo :) the medieval house fits great with the victorian parts and car and makes it a great victorian garage ;)
you said in the other thread that you plan to make a victorian england's diorama is this a part of it what are you planning to do ??

Hi
That is a very simple great idea. I always try to make stecks for trains but for some reason did not do it for the Victorian theme. Maybe its the colors. Have you thought about painting the stecks to match the 5300? The pieces you used are not that rare and it would really tie the buildings together
Thanks for sharing

Thank you for your kind words everyone :wave:
It was hard making it look not too barn like, and to stop this I was going to use the medieval red roof pieces, but then it would definately have looked like a barn.

That is a very good idea, Ras, and one I will take into consideration. It would also be a good way to use up discoloured Stecks ;) (I used Steck from my new 3666 to build this one)

I am gradually building up. I still haven't got a mansion yet, so potential bidders beware! :lol:

I have that care and that figure, and with a little modifications Lord Justice COSTA still rules from his bench with an iron fist.
But I’m still jealous. :lol:

Love your garage Damo :wow:
I'm getting confused though - I thought you only collected modern Playmobil!
Could it be a new home for Annie and Avie that you're looking for? :lol:

Thanks, Elaine :)
I have Playmobil from most themes: Modern, Victorian, Romans, Pirates, Western, knights/medieval, 123 etc
But I am primarily a modern collector, but also actively collecting Victorian and Western. I never really get rid of Playmobil, but I just don't add to those themes that I am not actively collecting.
Don't you mean Lizzie and Avie (and of course Flatcat) :D

Yes, Flatcat is the little yellow/orange cat who is in my Avatar picture and in my stories etc.
Avie, Lizzie and Flatcat all live on the mantlepiece over the fire in our lounge so they are never lost in with the rest 0)
I don't intentionally collect 123, I just have a largish collection from where I pick up odd figures/vehicles in lots of other Playmobil, and I have just kept them and the collection has grown. They are quite cool in a way, but I haven't gone out and intentionaly bought them as I have no real use for them.

I really like this Damo..excellent :)

The garage is really nice Damo!
The mix of the roof with medieval Steck is a real good!

Just having a senile moment!
I knew when I'd posted that 'Annie' wasn't right and was going to go back to your picture stories to check so I could change it, but the phone rang and I forgot after that!
Please apologise to Lizzie for me (and to Flatcat of course :D )

I took a chance on whether it would look too medieval, but I think it looks good :)

I think it has a touch of medieval but thats just awesome. I can just picture a HUGE victorian mansion where a 400 year old shed has been restored and is now of use as a Garage. I think that would make perfect sense!

Yes I think you're right - an old medieval barn or somewhat that has been converted into a lovely warm home for the car.
I don't actually know if they would have had garages like this. I just took a gues, as they must have stored the cars somewhere inside.

All you need, Damo, is this:
http://www.playmobil.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-GB-Site/en_GB/Product-Show?pid=7145&cgid=Ds_Gebaeude_und_Einrichtung
in the grounds of your mansion (when you get it) and set to one side and behind it. Then you have a garage and a house for the chauffeur. You'll have to extend the building a bit for the garage, maybe by having the garage door on the end of the building. You could then have extra wall units, maybe some with windows in. With a wall unit with a door between the house part and the garage, the chauffeur then has access to the garage without having to go out in the wet when it rains.

Great garage, Damo. I'm sure it will go well with a mansion.
Here in the Netherlands with the onset of the automobile many coach buildings and stable were converted to garages.

Exactly what I had in mind.

There is literally half a millimeter between the wall and the wheel nuts :lol:
But it goes through 8-)

What an absolutely marvelous idea, Gordon 8-) 8-) 8-)
Do you know if it is possible to swap the red roof with the mansion roof to make them match (bearing in mind I have never seen a mansion before so I wouldn't know)
I think that building would just need extending by one unit, with the door on the end, as you say
Damo :)

this garage is very realistic
congratulations damo

That's a lovely garage, Damo! :)

Thank you, Damo.
One unit should be fine.
I think the roof might fit, and the dormers, but I wouldn't swear to it.
Here are the pieces from playmoDB and they look right. (I am correct in it being the 5300 mansion?)

Yes, that is what I am thinking of, I just don't know whether it will work becuse I have never seen a 5300 in real life to see how it goes together etc.
Damo :)

The roof and dormer units look just like the Steck ones.

:wave: I just happened to have both on hand, so took this snap. The ones from the 5300 Mansion are longer, so they wouldn't fit the end piece. ??? Maybe a spray paint job would be a better solution.
Joe

My bad! ::) I didn't look back at the original sections you used, those are much longer than the orange ones in the picture. Maybe the mansion roof sections would work. :-[

You could use this from the coloured DS houses:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-26-2500
with this dormer from the same source:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-26-2520
and these for the edging:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-26-2520
This would mean extending the garage by two wall sections, but it would give the chauffeur more room for a workbench.
