Where did you get the streetcar?
Title: Re: Skywalkers 1900
Post by: Skywalker on June 23, 2011, 23:15:37
Thanx Bonnie & Gaston.

The Streetcar was a hint from Zugpferdchen ( Thx Daniel  :wave:  ). I was looking for an Alternative for the very overpriced LGB Streetcars. These are from Bachmann. It´s running perfect on the LGB Rails with lights etc. very nice...They have 2 and the price is okay.

Fabulous job!  I really like how you incorporated the 5300 Mansion above the arches.  There is something new to look at and be amazed by around every corner.  Thank you so much for sharing the pictures.

Magical!  I love the vignette where the lady is moving out.  Wouldn't it be fun to move into her vacant place?  As always, your photography and the post-processing is superb.

I noticed that too... Now we need another one of those... They were quite expensive, and I never really liked it much, but once my sister fell for it, so we have one.. Like the pirate's island (and the large 3666 castle), the box makes it look bad, compared to reality. Also, it's probably the one set where the box is FULL.

Darn, that looks AWESOME!

I also liked the tram...

tahra: thank you ! if you want to recreate this house you don´t need a complete house. i used the extra floor 7411 + i bought some roof parts from ebay. the more expensive parts were the arches...

Good point... Though the roof might be hard to come by - I have the arches from the 4300 Train Station..

I just noticed the young man with the bouquet of flowers, moving about in the vignettes, is it my imagination, or is he on his way to visit someone special.  Beautiful use of every nook and cranny in your village, wonderful incorporation of so many architectural pieces.  Congratulations.

I keep coming back to watch this  :love:
I love it.

I have one logistyc question... is that the same table and backdrop you use in Eulenburg? so if it is, you go back and forward putting one up and the other down for the pics?  :o
Title: Re: Skywalkers 1900
Post by: Skywalker on July 14, 2011, 16:22:10
el jefe : thank you  :wave:

Gaston: nice you come back for a look  :)

the table is about 2x6 meter. when i want to build a diorama i have to clear the table. the themes are in my collectors boxes i build and are around the table so i can try out different parts and can combine themes like in the 1900theme.

i will build another table for the big western theme - this table will be about 18 square meters because of the train section. this diorama will maybe stay on the table for a longer time.  :)

Thanx Rene... Im planning to do somehting like it but smaller. My only "problem" is that this would be at my parentsand though it is only 10 minutes away I don't know it I want to leave all my playmos there.... so far Im still planning and researching.
There was a thread with pics of your playmo-room, right? that might help too. Thanks a lot!!  :wave:

Gaston : i started in a corner of my office ( my office/studio is also in my house )with my first castle diorama. this is now our playcorner for my son and guest kids who are visiting us. they love to play there and so i left it together with the port royal as a playable diorama. i moved with the rest of the collection upstairs where i have a loft which i use as a photostudio / playmoloft and woodwork room.

there was just no space after i build the castle dio + port royal  ;D
