Hello :wave:
Shooting of 'Discovery parts two' has been delayed, and I was bored today so I made another construction setup (hopefully you aren't getting too bored of them) :lol:
Not exactly sure what they could be building - Ideas anyone?
Overview of the site:

Overviews of the work:

A skip truck arrives to collect a skip

He gets his pass ready to show security

Security control the entrance, and have their hut there where they live on site

A large proportion of workers live on site:

The garbage area always gets in a mess, and becuse the skips don't get emptied regularly, a lot of rubbish ends up going down the ditch behind:
(http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2228/201001290006.jpg) (http://img205.imageshack.us/i/201001290006.jpg/)
A sweeper, however, does regularly go round clearing up

The yard is where construction materials and machinery are recieved, and stored:

Workers are busy constructing an entrance road:

Meanwhile, over the other side of the site, Ditches are continuing to be excavated:
(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1378/201001290016.jpg) (http://img266.imageshack.us/i/201001290016.jpg/)

Site manager drives around regularly to see that the site is running smoothly:
(http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/448/201001290011.jpg) (http://img825.imageshack.us/i/201001290011.jpg/)
Site manager's hut (closed up at the moment because he is out on site)
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/929/201001290021.jpg) (http://img39.imageshack.us/i/201001290021.jpg/)
All excavation material is bought here, where a large loader fills lorries that take it away:
(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6160/201001290012.jpg) (http://img823.imageshack.us/i/201001290012.jpg/)

Excellent photos and very creative use of parts in places. Thanks for posting them
-
Great photos with lots of attention to detail again Damo, well done :clap: :clap: :wow: :wow: :clap: :clap:
It really does look a busy place. I thought maybe they were digging a moat for a large castle!
BTW the portaloo near the ditch looks pretty precarious. It could end up being a wee bit embarrassing for someone! :lol:

A moat is also a good thought, quite why I wouldn't know ??? A theme park maybe, or even a Playmobil fun park ;)
The porta loo is quite near the edge, and it looks as if the ledge could give way any minute :lol: - so only quiet ones ;)

Very nice Damo! As I am not into modernt themes I really enjoy to see the variety of your vehicles and the use of them in your projects!!!

Great work Damo. You still got it!
I like the idea of a Diorama of a Playmobil fun park :-)

Thank you very much, Gis! :cloud9:
A Playmobil fun park would be a great (and fairly easy) creation :D

I think you're right. It must be for the 2012 World Cup.
(Damo, in Norwich today (Saturday) I saw a display of the new construction stuff with an electrically powered digger at work.)

Excellent construction and very realistic scenes Damo :)

2012 world cup??? Do you mean the 2012 Olympics, or the 2014 World cup :hmm:
An electric powered digger sounds very interesting, and something that I've never come across before :D
Was it one of these conventions, or a show or something?

Why not both? :)

It was a display of the new construction stuff in Jarrold's department store in Norwich (sorry, I should have taken a pic for you :-[). The digger was just turning round and the arm was extending.

Was it a Playmobil one do you mean ???

Yes, a Playmobil one!

I had no idea there was such a thing as a playmoloo! (I wonder what accessories come with it? lol. I mean, if they wanna be REALISTIC...... lol
I love your setup! Very detailed and realistic (including rubbish in places other than the dumpsters). You are brave to get your playmobil in the dirt, but it adds realism, and allows the toys to live up to their true nature: to be played with! Bravo!
But seriously, what accesories DO come with the playmoloo, I wonder?

You are more brave than me, taking your ships out on the water :o
My machines all get a clean before they are put back 8-)

Avie and Flatcat have volunteered to give you a tour ;)

The hole isn't really big enough for any 'accessories', but the portaloo is one of my favourite Playmobils :)

That is art... and so going on the wishlist.
In the playmo 2010 catalogue I picked up I was seriously shocked to see that the stable set comes with what appears to be horse poo!!! Playmo Poo!!!

The horse poo has been around for some time. The part number for it is the same as for the chocolate ice cream!

Oh you are kidding me?!?!?!? That's really, really funny!
