Title: Marine Theme Souveneir Stand
Post by: bonniebeth on October 21, 2011, 03:13:27: I wanted to show my newest little project -- a custom souveneir stand that will be in the marine area of my zoo. The stand is from the 4891 Christmas market, repainted to more appropriate colors. A big thanks to Gis for some of these gorgeous souveneirs that will be sold here!!! I still need to make a sign for it, obviously, so I'll post an update when that's done. Hope you like it!

The little seals and seahorses, and the seashell "trinket boxes" are gifts from Gis. Perfect for this gift stand!

Post by: Tiermann on October 21, 2011, 19:28:54: That looks great! It's a great use for the little seals too. They were always in sets as a toy rather than representing a real animal so I haven't included them in Animobil. Do you think I should add them?

Thank you! Yes, these stands have SO much potential. I use krylon fusion spray paint for playmobil. It bonds to plastic really well, and after a couple of weeks, it is almost impervious to scrathes if painted right. I'd have to look up the color names.

Thank you Tim! Hm, I hadn't even noticed they weren't on animobil. Yeah, I would add them, since the micro animals are on there, and I think the blue kangaroo is on there, right? Even though it has only been used as a toy. I think the little seals are sooo cute!

The little seals, as well as starfish, sea horses, and shells, came from Gis. They are from the funpark, so I believe some of the colors are funpark exclusives. I think the little seal has only been released in one color in regular boxed sets. The green color is just lovely, though!
