I've only just seen this because previously some of the photos haven't appeared, but it seems OK now :)
Your attention to detail is amazing Karim, I love the light in the oven that makes it look hot and the food is incredible, so realistic. :love:
The cook is going to have a very busy time, I hope she manages to have some time out of the kitchen!

Another awesome episode! Very good "action shots" of beating rugs, washing stairs, and touch-up painting! Great rug-beater (there's probably a word for it)! My favorite is the newspaper announcing the Garden Party! A party this epic is certainly worthy of being announced in the paper!
-
This is wonderful Karim; I love the way that we see different parts of the day and what the servants are doing before the guests arrive.
I love the doormat :lol: and the rug looks so real.
My favorite is the newspaper announcing the Garden Party! A party this epic is certainly worthy of being announced in the paper!
Am I missing a photo? the only newspaper I can see is the one with the paint tin on it ??? The last photo I can see is the man up the ladder with a paintbrush and the other man at the bottom of the ladder.
A few times I've thought that photos weren't opening up, but I don't know why this is happening.

You don't see them very well in these shots but I like the addition of the flag pennants, seems very authentic for a big event of the period.

Love this more and more Karim :love:
Your attention to detail is amazing - I especially like the presents the guests are bringing and the different flags the crowd are waving.
To see Lord and Lady McAngus arrive in the new green car with the Scottish Royal Standards flying on it is wonderful :wow: :wow: :wow:

Truly magnificent as always! I like to catch up every month so I can make time to sit back and absorb the wonderful atmosphere. I need plenty of time to look at all your amazing details. I've already watched the videos and the story looks excellent. You've done a brillant job on customising the house and garden. I can appreciate how much time and effort has gone into doing all this. The set up alone takes ages never mind trying to do a photo story at the same time.
Excellent photography and a great diorama with real attention to detail throughout. Outstanding
Well done my friend I look forward to seeing the next installment.

I've just looked back again over your last post before this and realised that the newspapers had pictures of Lord and Lady Astor on them! Wow sorry I missed it the first time around. Hats off to you again my friend for such painstaking details in your work. I'm just happy that my little figures are fitting in so well with your wonderful dioramas.
:picsplz: Looking forward to more.

Dearest Friends :wave:
I have an announcement to make with regards to the character of Lord Martin created by our dear Friend Daniela which have mistakingly replaced by another Victorian Gentleman in the last two episodes :-[
I am dealing with so many different characters that such mistake was to happen but I would like to apologise to Daniela who has suddenly seen a new Lord Martin St Giles :wave:
I have shot a new episode this morning which I will post within minutes but I promise to re-introduce the one and only Lord St Giles in the next episode in a distinct and amusing way ;)
To recap this both embarassing and amusing situation :
This is Lord Martin St Giles
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/745737100.jpg)
This is Lord Cedric St James

A lot of thought and preparation as always, but I am enjoying so much developing the Alice in Wonderland theme for the Queen of Hearts visit to Regent St :love:
If you were able to see me running around my preparation board as I call it like a little bee making sure that the set up and lighting is right, you would all be in stitches laughing :lol:
Also, for those who are not enjoying high speed internet yet, I will post my instalments of a maximum of 10 pictures by post which I hope, will make the reading easier ;)

OOoh the Queen!
What a magnificent honor Karim - and such a lovely table you have set up.
-
Wow!
Magnific
Splendid
Beautiful work! (it always is) ... I had to share it!
I like the fantasy of putting Alice in Wonderland theme in the Victorian context ... It's so cool!, it fits so well ...
Great, great job! Very, very beautiful. And feels like Fairy Tale, somewhat. Not a simple work.
(Interesting that there's no need for text, only pictures are enough ...)
Anyway, there's a lot to say.
And even if much more were said it wouldn't be enough, I'm afraid.
Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you so much Sir George and Luis :wave:

Good afternoon dear Friends :wave:
I hope that you have all had a wonderful time at Christmas with the ones you love :love:
I came back home to France for two weeks for the perfect and much needed holiday break :xholly:
2012 is a bearer of good news professionally speaking as I have been offered the opening of one of the hotels in the Olympic development and that means that I am moving back to London at the end of January.
The move back to London is a happy one as I used to live there for nearly 8 years before going to the Midlands, but I am going to be a very busy boy in the first few months until I can reopen finally reopen the magic box again and let my happy little victorians continue their tribulations on Regent St.
I will still be able to participate to the forum as actively as I can until I am able to resume my victorian tales again :cloud9:
I wish you all and your families a happy, healthy and fun New Year 2012 :xmascheer:
Your Friend Karim <*)
-
And the best wishes for you and your familie too. Good luck with your new tasks in real life!
Don't let us wait to long for your victorian tales at Regent St. ;)
-
good to hear the good news about your career and i too wish you a prosperous new year, Karim :wave:
I look forward to whatever follows your victorian tales :love:
cheers! :xmascheer:
-
Great to hear your career is going in a positive direction Karim. Good luck on the move and have a happy new year.
-
Congratulations on your promotion Karim. We will await new tales from your Victorians with anticipation. :)
-
Congratulations on your promotion Karim!! Here's to a lot more success!!! :xmascheer:
-
hey, I LOVE your party on regent street playmo story! i was wondering where you get (and what size) the items you've used in your photos that are not PM. like the vines on the houses, landscaping, etc. I just love love love it all and i am new to this sort of thing. any links, advice, ideas or info you can give me would be appreciated!
thanks
Cyndi
-
There's a 'making of' thread with some of that info in it I've bumped up for you, take a look there
-
Thanks for bumping the thread, Tim. Cyndi, Karim has been in the middle of moving, I think, but should be back with us more regularly soon!
-
Thats a lovely house. good to see the milk boy on time.
-
This is really cool! I hadn't seen this either; well done! ;)

Good morning dear Friends :wave:
First and foremost, I would like to apologise for not having been as present in our community in the last few months as I would have liked to but I must say that this new chapter in my professional career has proved to be a new beginning in more ways than one.
I would like to reassure my Friends who may have been wondering if this new chapter was a happy one that although I am working twice as hard - which is an understatement for anyone one who knows what working in Hospitality really means in terms of working hours and unsociable working schedule - everything is working out to be just fine and I am really enjoying the challenge.
I have never been shy of trying new things and my appetite for new horizons took me over the years to places as diverse as New Zealand, Australia and Canada for my work and now England for a little more than a decade.
This is with great sadness and certainly apprehension that I packed the world of my happy little victorians earlier this year for this move not knowing how long it would be until I could finally open the magic box again :(
This new chapter in my life has involved many changes on a professional level and also personal level and I am trying to make the most of my very rare days off to go out and discover new places and occasionally try to do new things.
I now realise that it was nothing short of a miracle that I was able to juggle managing a very busy 100 bedrooms hotel and what it involves of responsibilities and bringing to life the ambitious project of recreating a world of happy little victorians for the Summer Garden Party on Regent St.
Thoses who are familiar with creating ambitious Playmo dioramas already know the amount of work involved in it in terms of preparation, and setting up but creating a victorian tale that involves telling a story through a multitude of characters evolving in different decors demands not only quite an imagination - which I never lacked of - but a considerable amount of time to set up, light up, photograph, edit and post each episode.
I happily dedicated most of my days off in the second half of 2012 to creating episodes for my victorian tales as crafted as I possibly could in order to thank those who participated with creating custom made characters working up to 14 hours each day off in my "preparation board room" which became for the occasion a mini "movie set", most of the time realising than the day had gone by as I relentlessly worked at setting up the best possible scenes.
This is something that I cannot possibly dream of doing now when so much of time is involved in my work and that I am too much of a perfectionist to cut corner and deliver a cheap version of what I inteded to deliver, just because I do not have the time anymore.
I will not bother you with personal details, but I am not embarassed at all to speak about a serious depression which affected me for years and which very nearly got the better of me and that I need to make the most of my rare days off by going out and about to clear and refresh my mind.
I was extremely lucky to get over this personal ordeal and somehow found the way back into the light only helped with my determination to survive this challenge.
My happy little victorians are carefully packed in a mahogany chemist chest of drawers with a multitude of small drawers lined with red velvet with each holding its treasure of accessories both Playmobil and on a 1/12th scale including mountains of food, of course.
Should I work part time, I would have no problem at all fitting my victorian tales in, but managing a busy hotel is already such demanding task in itself that I cannot possibly consider resuming my tales without putting my own balance in danger towards a burn out that I already know far too well.
So my Friends, I hope that you did not mind me speaking to you all from heart to heart and that you will forgive me from taking a break from my Regent St tales directing while I am embracing the biggest challenge of my life : "being Happy and above all being myself" :)
I am sorry that I created a sense of anticipation when I ultimately did not deliver the complete tale but I still marvel at the fact that I was able to complete two entire chapters juggling a beyond busy hotel and spending entire days off jumping around my preparation board with my head buzzing with ideas, making sure that the figures will show their better profile with one hand and directing the light with the other, pesting when a figure would fall at the very moment I took the picture and sometimes re-shooting a scene if not an entire episode if not to my standards...should there have been a camera over my head, I can assure you that you would all be in stitches watching me acting like a busy bee at springtime 8}
There is no doubt that I will one day resume my Summer Garden Party on Regent St as I will always have an unfinished business taste until Maria Malibran's performance closes the final chapter.
I will of course, be delighted to send the custom made characters to those who would like to and in the meantime, I thank you from the bottom of my heart :love:
You will all be in my heart and in my thoughts :cloud9:
Karim :gent:
-
Great to hear from you, Karim! We will look forward to hearing the final chapter sometime in the future, and until then, all the best in your new job!
-
Good to hear from you Karim! I am glad you are doing well! All the best wishes for anything the future might hold!!!
-
So nice to hear from you dear friend!
I hope everything turns out just as you dreamt it.
My best wishes for you Karim! :rainbow:

We can wait for your wonderful story to be continued.
All the best to you!

and I am quite sure it will be as magnificent as ever, if not more so.
Thank you for posting the update, and as Bill says please do drop in from time to time so we know you are well.
Have fun as you can!
-
Karim, I was thinking of you and your story the other day
I totally understand the thing about lack of time to make elaborated dioramas/pictures (I'm kind of in the same situation now)
Whenever you resume your tale I'm sure it'll be as exceptional as it's been so far
Good luck with your career wherever life takes you and I hope you stop by at least to say hi - you're definately missed :wave:
-
Thank you so much dear Tim and Luis :wave:
Karim :)

Hello dear Friends :wave:

Thank you so much for your heart warming comments dear Friends :love:
Most of you will understand that one has to make difficult choices at times and the second half of 2012 was about focusing on the sadly boring but necessary serious aspects of life and I just cannot wait to finally sit down and immerse myself again in the ideal and ever happy world which I associate with our favorite hobby.
I have been serious enough for a lifetime and I just want to shout now at the top of my lungs that I want to have FUN AGAIN, for heaven sakes :lol:
I hope that you are all well and just like myself looking forward to Springtime :cloud9:
I will come around very soon and in the meantime, I am sending you my loving thoughts :love:
Karim :)
-
Best wishes to you too, Karim. So good to hear from you! :D
Joe

Dear Friends :wave:
I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me again with opened arms after such a long absence, and I thought that the best way to say Thank You, would be through new pictures. As the weather forecast of this temperamental winter is set to fair this week-end, I intend to shoot a serie of pictures outside on the Springtime theme and inside on the Carnival of Venice theme, starring some of the wonderful customs created by our friends of the Playmo Community last year :love:
Please stay tune ;)...
Have a great week-end !
Karim :)

Welcome back Karim :wave:

A big Hello to Everyone :wave:
From the Luxembourg where I am living since this spring and a summer spent working, I am finally able to pause and breathe as I had the feeling of being constantly on a runaway train ever since I left my home in France to open a new page in the 3 Borders Country ( Luxembourg, France & Germany )
I have wished so much to find a good job and I was granted beyond expectations as I have a carte blanche to manage a hotel and two restaurants, including a gastronomic one on a day to day basis with a flat overlooking a 18 holes golf course, so I was lucky indeed. As far as exploring is concerned, I spent a few days back in June going to the beautiful historic towns of Metz, Sarrebrücken and Nancy so close, and I hope to take you there through a photographic journey together with this Grand Duchy of Luxembourg which has welcomed me...
I have just made a quick journey back home to get some warmer clothes in view of a much colder autumn and winter than I used to experience in England and I had the pleasure of seeing again the mansion of Regent St and all its happy little victorians with a little disappointment though, the décor of Regent St got dampened as stored at the bottom of a stone wall resulting in all the pavement and grass areas being beyond repair. Thanks God that I thought of putting away all the electric components including the transformator and lamps as well as the plants which are safe. This is the sad result of rushed departures :'(
And who says cold and long winter says a hobby to keep one's hands and mind busy and what better hobby than working again on the Regent St project ?
This is only a thought for the moment, but I felt such happiness and fullfillment when creating the decor and having all these little characters evolving through endless tribulations on the set of the Garden Party on Regent St that I very much wish to continue the adventure even if that means recreating part of the decor ;)...
Here are my thoughts as we are reaching the end of a brilliant summer which I hope has delighted you with its warmth and generous sun.
If I decide to reopen the door to Regent St, I will most certainly ask our Friend Emma Jane and her creative talent to bring that special little touch of magic.
See you around soon,
Your Friend Karim :)
-
So good to hear from you, Karim! Your new job sounds like a dream come true. So happy for you.
Joe
-
Karim,
nice job description - good luck!
and can't wait for your victorian tales update!
:wave:
-
I'm new to this thread, and being able to see the entire two chapters at once was awe-inspiring and amazing.
Your level of detail is astounding (I'm going to have to find the how-to thread that was mentioned)! So even though you haven't added to your story in a while, the original is still being thoroughly enjoyed by newcomers!
-
Thank you so much dear Friends :wave:
Karim :gent:

A very good morning to you dear Friends :wave:
I am incredibly happy and proud to announce the return of the Summer Garden Party on Regent St !
I know that some of you dear Friends have waited for this to happen for a long time, but I am sure that you will all understand that life does not always go according to plan and I was very Lucky indeed to get such a wonderful job to secure my future and financial position in order move on...
Those of you who have followed the project since day one know the amount of time and effort it takes to produce not to forget the budget which runs between 500 and 1000 Euros per chapter as I am a bit of perfectionist who believes that these are the small détails that are making a beautiful diorama.
As you already know, I will have to recreate the street and garden decor of Regent St, this time larger in order to accommodate the evening events and the Making Of which I made years ago will be incredibly useful to me in order to work much faster on it and I have all the sources of providers of items such as grass, pavement sheet and so on.
Link to the original Making Of topic :
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4828.0
So that's it dear Friends, this winter the 3rd chapter of the Summer Garden Party on Regent St will come to life with a few little surprizes which I will keep secret until then ;)
Thank you for your patience and your Friendship :love:
Karim :gent:
-
I've only just now scrolled through the entire story and your work is absolutely breathtaking!!!
What a wonderful little world you have created there :(o):
:inlove: :wow: :inlove: :wow: :inlove:
I'm very happy to hear you will be able to prepare the next chapters in the coming months, I'll be looking forward to the end result :)
-
Dear Karim,
we all wait happily for the story to continue. :love:
Take your time! ;)

Thank you so much dear Friends :wave:

Dearest Playmofriends :wave:
I have one wonderful news for those of you who have followed my Summer Garden Party on Regent St project...
I am starting the recreation of the decor outside the Mansion and Pavillon at the end of this month :love: :love: :love:
I could not be happier :cloud9:
I will continue the original Making Of thread with a new enlarged decor which you will be able to follow step by step and in which I will share with you the source of each material and their cost ;)
I will catch up very soon with additional informations on the project...
Karim :gent:

Thank you so much for following the project dear Friends :wave:
Karim :gent:

Good evening dear Friends :wave:
Important Annoucement to all my Friends in the Forum !
You all know by now that I will recreate the outside decors of Regent St and the Grand Gardens of the Mansion which I would like to enlarge slightly and that it will take some time to complete, though much faster and easier since I have the original Making Of thread and above all the references of all the building materials I purchased and used a few years ago. I will continue the original Making Of thread to show the step by step recreation of the decors.
But now is the part where you, dear Friends have a chance to step back into the project again as I would like to create a less formal 3rd Chapter with funny moments as well as darker moments and I will need your creative talents and expertise in creating customs to either help me with building specific elements of the decor or creating your own mini masterpieces which I will purchase from you including all post & packaging fees at an excellent price as I have budgeted accordingly ;)
Elements in which I will need your help to accompany me through the building of the decor :
1/ creating an indoor swimming pool for a specific scene
2/ creating a corridor with multiple bedrooms doors such as in a Grand Hotel for a specific scene
3/ creating a dressing room with jewels presented under glass cases
4/ creating a scene in which a lady is taking her bubble bath with a leg up in the air. I will need a figure that stands in the bath with a leg up and the bubble bath effect which I need to research.
Elements in which I will need specially made customs involving vehicles :
1/ A Two Seater Old Timer with a bi colour paint ( paint and interior finish to discuss )
2/ A Two Seater Old Timer to the colours of Egypt Explorator Lord Carnavon
3/ One Regular Old Timer Cars with a bi colour paint ( pain and interior finish to discuss )
4/ One Old Timer Car extended "A la Cruella Devil" for a specific character
5/ One Old Timer Truck customized as a Van Cleef & Arpels Jeweller Van
6/ One Old Timer Truck customized as a Charles Worth Dressmaker Van
7/ A Red Double Decker Bus drawn by two horses
8/ A Hot Air Baloon or a Steampunk Engine for two persons
Elements in which I will need specially made customs involving figures :
1/ Lord Carnavon, the Egypt Explorator
2 / Lord Carnavon's Egyptian Servant
3/ Luella Parsons, the evil Gossip Column Lady which I would like to be dressed in black and evil "à la Cruella Devil"
4/ The photographer assistant to Luella, also with an evil grin on his face
5/ The Flamboyant Charles Worth, Couturier Extraordinaire of the era with a character dressed in a pink tuxedo and gold jewellery
6/ A cat burglar Lady which I would like to be like Cat Woman, mysterious and dressed in black
7/ Victorian builders to build the stage of the "3 Musketeers" play
8/ Mr Van Cleef Jeweller and one security guard
9/ Mr JP Morgan owner of the White Star Line
10/ A couple of Glamour Model Ladies dressed in underwear with an eye winking and bright red lips
11/ The Great Chef Escoffier
12/ Cesar Ritz the Hotel Magnate
If the idea appeals to you, please do let me know ;) I believe that if everything goes according to plan the 3rd chapter should start by the end of January beginning of February so we all have plenty of time to prepare it at our own pace.
I know that a lot of you are involved in your own dioramas, exhibitions or even special commissions which is the reason why I wish to give you as much time as possible to think about it and possibly join in the project.
I repeat that I have budgeted accordingly and that I will pay each custom creations to an excellent price including the posting and packaging.
I will definitely come back to you soon with a few more ideas but the above elements are already giving you a flavor of how I see the 3rd chapter of the Summer Garden Party on Regent St ;)
Thank you very much :)

WOW! That's an ambitious project!!! :love:
I love it just by imagining what you are up to! :lol: :lol:
I'll try to chip in but can't promise.
I'll write back soon.
:love:

That sounds like such an exciting project! I don't know if I have the customizing talent to get involved myself, but I can't wait to see how this turns out!

I think this is a wonderful idea to involve members of the forum.
There are so many members here who are talented in making customs so I do hope they will help.
I would like to help with some of the figures - I think they would be great fun to do.

I, too, think this is a great idea and a good opportunity to involve other members. However, I wonder if starting a new thread for this element of the story would be a good idea?
-
Yes, it might be good to start a new thread, especially since some may miss this discussion otherwise. Karim, would you like me to split off this new discussion and make it into a new topic? If so, let me know what you would like the title of the new topic to be.

This is such an exciting endeavor, Karim! I love the idea of involving the talent of members here at PF to see it through. :love:

I hope you mange to get everything you need as it sounds like another very interesting chapter in your story and I'm sure it will be excellently designed and photographed.
I shall look forward to seeing what you and the other members come up with, as Joe said there's a lot of talented members here on the forum. ;) ;)

I agree, some interesting ideas there Karim. I'm sure you will find some help with it form various sources.

As others have commented this is quite am ambitious project, not sure that I personally would be able to contribute anything, but I will definitely be looking forward to watching the progress. I wonder if you should start a new thread, with an addendum to your original title, thus catching the eye of members, like myself who have been on this forum for awhile, and would not open your thread as we remember the thread from before.
