Pictures of My Work Room

[Bill Blackhurst]

Hello Bill,
Thank you for the feedbak. I wondered if you would find the pictures, there are a couple more since you looked last. I think you might see a few things on and around my work bench that you will find particularly interesting

Hello Jimbo,
Thank you very much for the kind reply. I am glad you found the pictures interesting. Most of my collection has been built up with tings that my parents come home with from charity shops and car boot sales.

Hello again Tim  !
As a matter of fact, I do see some very familar projects in process  ! I can't wait ! It's fantastic to see other members into the modern, city life, construction, fire rescue, & EMS themes with excellent ideas  !

Thanks for the insight into your workroom, Tim.  It's interesting that you can find 95% of stuff without trouble.   I find the same until I tidy up, then I can't find anything!

You've some interesting stuff going on there Tim and I look forward to seeing the projects completed.  I've some ideas if what some are.  I think the one for me is another roof, although it looks much longer than the one I collected from the post office today - thank you.

I wish I had a space like that.

ahh the master playmobil craftsman toy shop  It truly is a wonder of the collectors world . I bet even if you showed it to "normal" people they would see a room full of broken toys , but not us here . We see treasures 

[Gepetto]

Thank you for sharing your workshop photos with us Tim!! It is nice to see a working shop space and as Rasputin was  quick to note, we see beyond the perceived clutter to the creative processes at work behind the scenes. It must be nice to have a dedicated space to work in.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for the kind feedback. I think what you said was spot on, that's what i keep telling myself anyway . I am glad to see that i am not alone in having an organised mess on the floor due to lack of space. I really must solve my storage problem by getting those shelves. At the moment the crews ambulance/police crews don't have names but i plan on changing that in the future when post a thread on the forum. I have to say that most of the officers in my fire service do have names   . There will be more posted on this soon

Hello LHAAP,

Thank you for the kind reply, i am glad you found the pictures interesting. As you probably noticed there is quite a lot to see if you look closely .

Tim

Hello Bill,

I thought you might find a few interesting things if you looked closely at the work bench pictures. Infact there is quite a lot to see if you know where to look .

Tim

Hello Gordon,

Thank you very much for the kind feedback. These pictures were taken after the great tidy up which we discussed a few months back. I guess you can imagine what it was like back then I am quite lucky to have the room available to work in, i don't know what i would do if i didn't . I guess i would probably have to invest in a shed in the back garden because i wouldn't have space in my bed room.
I am glad the roof arrived safe! I was beginning to worry slightly that it had gone astray. The picture of the window does indeed show your roof ! Its the same one as before it just looks a little different because the plastic hasn't been glued on yet. There are also a few things for you that are sitting on the work bench

Hello Rasputin

Thank you for the kind feedback. Its great to be able to share stuff with like minded people. I think people tend not to see past the 'toy' aspect of things and are quick to judge us on our hobby. Its nice to see that everyone who has replied can see past the untidy clutter as well . I think one of the projects i am working on would be just up your street, especially when it came to large logging operations . If you look at the last pictures you might get a glimpse of it hidden under the junk on my work bench.

Tim

Hello Gepetto

Thank you very much indeed for your kind reply. I found the pictures quite interesting myself as it gave me a different insight into things. It was allmost like looking at it from a different aspect. It certainly is great having a dedicated place to work on my projects. I was saying to Gordon that i don't know what i would do if i didn't have such a room. One of the options would be a shed in the garden .

[Rasputin]

If you could just move that box that is resting on top of it we might be able to get a better perspective . If it is the one i think you are working on it looks long with some sort of arm on the front or back and a loader cab . Is it some sort of harvester or log skidder ? I sure got enough of my business partners skiders to last me a lifetime . In our Playmo forest ( like Bills Fire department ) we have unlimited operating capital so we do it all via helicopter removals . 

[Tim_w]

Hello Rasputin,

It is quite difficult to see under all the junk . I dont know if it would come in usefull for removing trees but if any equipment got stuck or needed pulling out then this is the peice of kit for the job. I suppose you could use it to remove stubbourn tree stumps or to clear roads aswell.

It is indeed a bulldozer, similar to the picture you posted not long back for Bill.

[Rasputin]

well bulldozers are a very common heavy piece of equipment on the larger commercial jobs . I was hoping with the recent mining sets that playbobil would have made a D9 or similar . The one that they have is so tiny and more of a piece of farm equipment than a construction dozer . After i saw Bills roll bars ( from the dino ) used on his brush fire equipment i have been wondering what to order, to make some sort of Roll Over Protection ( ROPS ) for the tiny dozer .

Your project looks very interesting and i will look forward to seeing its completion 

[Timotheos]

Hi Tim can you discuss some of the tools you find yourself using the most (RE: your stash of tools, drawing boards, etc.).

My customizing kit is still pretty primitive--

1) A can of spray paint primer that melds to plastic
2) A dull x-acto knife to gnash through ply-paper
3) Craft glue
4) detergent ("Bartender's Friend") to rub-off factory paint jobs

WOW! ... ...

I just saw your thread, Tim ... 

Incredible is the only word that comes to mind.

I think that almost everyone here would probably like to poke around and discover your treasures.

It would be very interesting to see what items in your collection would be considered a "treasure" by different members here at PF. I know that when I've had visitors, I'm usually amazed by how differently each person looks at my Playmobil collection.

Thank you very much for sharing your "secret" room, Tim.

I really enjoyed the "virtual" peek ... 

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard
