thanks to you ! i have always think it was possibe to make nice things using styrodur or polystyrene , it's possible to had resine you can color like you want after scupting what you want , have a look for example on this http://www.aquarium-atc.fr/index.php?page=Produits&cat_id=90&produitid=390&nopage=3&onload=0 

i really prefer a nice place with a beautifull scene like you do than seeing huge quantity of playmobils (just a question of personnal taste)

Awesome dio Skywalker!  Your pics are amazing as always.   

[Skywalker]

Thank you everybody ! 

gaspodfreud : the styrodur is very light which is also nice. the complete dio is build on wooden plates in the size 1m x 2 m . i can store these plates single so it can be transported or stored. there are other ways to do hills but with a heavy material. i will check out your resin infos.  before i don`t forget - i did get the best results with the hot cutter because there are no little pieces left.  there is a very good styrodur that is called "puren"  absolutely awesome material but very expensive . google it and you will see what you can do with it. i have some plates and will start experimenting when i will work again on the dio, maybe this weekend.

i also prefer szenes with some playmos good arranged and not hundreds on a square meter.except if you are planning a roman army - which i would love to have

Same here, I prefer scenes with fewer clickies who are doing things. Seeing lots of clickies can be quite impressive, but my gaze simply lingers longer on scenes with less clickies who are busy, trying to see all the little details.

Rhalius : i was allways more interested to collect different sets which i liked…and there are a lot - mostly old ones. it`s also the point where you spent your money. i wouldn`t buy 1000 knights and have no budget anymore. i would always prefer to have a variety of themes. especially if you like to do dioramas. i mean if i had the money i would buy huge amounts of different armys because if you want to show an army you can`t have 5  playmos - that would be more a "gang"

oh yes your result is very good ! it was a suggestion because i see you use polystyrene . In fact on the link i send you the polystyrene is scupted with a torch or someting hot (like you) and he add resin on it (easy to make the color you want) (it's the same resine like the canoe ) it's very light too . I like your diaporama and ideas .

[Rhalius]

I know what you mean, personly I'd prefer to have each set only once.

For some occasions theres just little of a faction if you have all sets of the theme even, like with the new redcoats for example, or the swan knights. In that case you kind of need extra soldiers. Some factions simply lack balance.

Still, I am not much into wars or such, I prefer the small scale conflicts so my soldiers are usually just used for guard duties.

A wonderful diorama again!! 
Like we're used from you allways with the spirit of the old catalogue/box-images
