Title: VERSAILLES in Playmobil
Post by: macgayver on November 21, 2011, 11:27:08
Hello all, It has been a while since we published something

The last two years we have been preparing Versailles to expose at Utrecht for Playmobil

As Utrecht won't take place in 2012 we've decided to expose anyway

We have found a wonderfull place at 50 km from Versailles where we will have our "Première"

enjoy

and thank you for watching

Oh my goodness!!! This is unbelievable! The castle itself left me speechless, sitting here with my jaw hanging open. The Gardens are just amazing! So many of them, and they all look so much like the real thing. But I think my favorite thing is the huge fountain, with all the turtles! Beautifully done!!!

I couldnt agree more with bb !!! I posted earlier on this but keep going back and looking at these pictures, this is really astonishing art. I wish ( and this is somwthing to consider ) that such pieces of work are also promoted by playmobil and perhaps some awards are given by playmobil to such  creations , even a large oscar like klicky i am sure would be enough recognition for such amazing work and i thik thats a good idea for playmobil to consider . when collectors / enthusiasts go to such effort/ expenditure with a company's products to create art , there shoudl be some recognition . ( a good example is the BMW art cars... )  .. Just a thought for my favourite company in the world ....  :) :) :) :)

Just lovely....and amazing! Having the actual photos before the models is fascinating because normally the model is shown by itself. This is an incredible castle and gardens in real and in PM!
Did they cancel the main exhibition this year?
Congrats on such fine modeling again, Pgal :wave:

Beautiful work Michael. Nice to see all the progress you have made. It's too bad the other show isn't happening, but I'm glad you've worked out an exhibition for it.
