Welcome Bill,

I've enjoyed your posts on Playmoboard, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better here.

cheers, Martin

First rule of business is a heart felt "THANK YOU!!" to everyone for the warm reception into this Playmobil family .

Hello Gustavo !
I have recently posted several albums of some of my custom projects in process, you know that projects are never fully completed when it comes to Playmobil, they just keep evolving ! Check them out & give me your opinion.

Hi Richard of the Virgin Islands !

Greetings CountBogro !
I believe you are correct when it comes to Playmofire, Tim W, Fire Chief, & I being kindred spirits! I look forward to talking to everyone about fresh ideas concerning up coming projects! I admire the awesome work that I have seen done by everyone on this board !

Hi Sylvia ,
Greetings to a special person that lives in my mothers family's ancestral country , her maiden name is Turner. I wish Playmobil would come up with a special play pal figure of a Scot wearing a traditional outfit, with kilt & bagpipes ! I would buy quite a few!
If you would be so kind as to send us some of that rain, it would be greatly appreciated !
 
And finally,.... Hello Martin !
It is good to see you here also! I was growing a little bored over on the other place! It didn't seem to have as many people with the same interests as mine! I feel that I have come across at least 4 members here so far that enjoy the same themes as I! Please understand, I do not think anything wrong with the pirates, knights, Romans, Vikings, & such, it just seems everyone else is into them except for me, until now! I am glad to have found this place, & wish I could have found it sooner! I look forward to talking to you in the future!

I've got a fair amount of Fire, Police and Rescue stuff, though most of my collection had to be packed away and hasn't returned to light yet. I can blame Gordon for stimulating my interest in the Fire Service with his excellent customisations and photographs.

I've taken a look at the pictures you uploaded to the photoalbum here at Playmofriends ... They're good pictures, very nicely taken

Do you make stories? ... I'm curious because/ uh, I'll publish a new topic on this

Nice pictures, anyway!

Hello Gustavo,
Thank you for the positive review of my photo albums ! I am trying to find out how to do slide show movies with a sound background, but I am not very computer suave , & that frustrates me severely ! I am not fond of what I believe is called stop motion movies? I wish I could find someone in my area that liked Playmobil as much as I do that could assist me with these projects! I feel with my collection, & someones experience, the possibilities would be endless !

[Gustavo]

Possibilities ARE endless Bill, don't worry!

In time, things will happen, and ideas.

There are excellent ideas for background without graphic computing, and they get much, really much more natural and beautiful! And there's a few people here who might give you a hand, even at a distance.

Do you have a (whole) room (or basement, or attic ...), or a garden to dispose to make displays?

[Bill Blackhurst]

Hi Gustavo,
 Alas, I don't have the existing room utilized at this time to display all that I would like too ! Space shortage is a problem also! I don't have a basement, dedicated room, or garden. I share my display room with my lizards, a tortoise, cats, computer, a bed, my wife's tread mill, etc. ! Even putting up shelves would cost a small fortune, & still would not have everything displayed ! I may post some pictures of the items that I have stored in boxes to give an idea of what I'm up against, but I haven't decided yet . All they would be pictures of are huge brown boxes, not revealing much !

[Gustavo]

Don't worry, Bill ... Just like me: no space. Only, you have (much) more stuff, which probably makes you a bit (hm ... much) more anxious than I

Well, you really won't have everything displayed together so soon, but, bits by bits, small sets by small sets ... &, Please, I'm not giving you these advices (only) because I want to see it, but because I want you to have great fun with your playmos!

For a beginning, what I'd suggest you -- and possibly this isn't news to you ... -- is to get a table easy to assemble & disassemble, so that you can make fast scenes ... Jochen could give you some tips on background ... (Take a look at his site, I'll see to link it here, but you can see it through his profile.)

Hello Bill and welcome!!

 With so many of us having more enthusiasm and klickys than room we should probably start comparing storage containers and labeling systems! At least now I can be surprised when I open a tub and come upon something I had forgotten about.

 I know you will enjoy the community here and see you have already found some 'fire' friends, sure glad I am not into that modern stuff! Too easy to go off the deep end .

Hello Bill and Welcome to Playmofriends

I was just flicking through the photo gallery when i saw some of your wonderfull pictures. I was quite suprised to see someone else who shares the very same interests as myself and Gordon (Playmofire). We are quite a rare breed to be honest as most often people are interested in Pirates and Castles. I wanted to take this opportunity to aleviate your fears on another point you raised, that of wanting to buy or own multiple vehicles . I have built up quite an extensive collection of fire engines and police vehicles, oh and there is also my ambulance service, did i mention that i have my own Playmobil demolitions company with a fleet of tipper trucks and excavators . I remember working out the next additions to my Police force the other week and making a note that i will need at least 4 of the new Police cars to serve my needs !! Two of these will be dog units and the other two will go to traffic, oh and i will need another one for the fire arms unit, better make that 5 .

Hope you enjoy your stay here, we are quite a friendly bunch. I am looking forward to seeing more of your pictures !!

Kindest regards  Tim
