Hello, Karim ...

Thanks for posting all the wonderful photos of Emma J's marvelous creations.

Her "Picnic in Hyde Park" is indeed a marvelous "little gem" ...  :wow: ...  :wow: ...  :wow:

Question: When you create a diorama of this type and offer it for auction on eBay, is EVERYTHING in the photo included?

Thanks again for sharing Emma J's lovely creations.

All the best,
Richard

Hello Richard  :wave:

It is so nice to be back !!!

Yes, everything is included - figures, accessories, flooring, furniture, vehicles - so the initial costs are high as per the rarity of the Playmobil Victorian items and the quality of the 1/12th accessories that complete these sets.

Hence, my surprise at seeing that such a gem could go at only 36.01 pounds...

Emma.j's auctions have an atmosphere of their own and her eye for detail is second to none - see the wedding cards or the printed material for the 4th of July's Ball - and I love her sense of humour in the wet paint picture at the "Picnic in Hyde Park".

Her creations are unique and lovely !!!

Karim :)

Hi Guys :wave:

I will walk in the footpath of Richard and invite you to look for a spelling mistake in one of Emma.j's last auctions...

Have fun Playmodetectives !!!

Dear Playmodetectives  :wave:

The answer to Richard's question on the previous spelling mistake is Cabernet [/color] opposed to the terrifying "Cabinet" which means toilets in French...

Now, how many of you will spot the second spelling mistake in Emma.j's last auctions ?

Have fun !!!

Karim ;)

I found it, Karim ...

Actually, the spelling error appears in at least five different photos. I won't give it away, so that others can also try to find it. However, I'll give one clue ... "SoA" ...  ;D

Thanks, Karim,  for the great photos and for some "detective" fun!

All the best,
Richard

The clue could also be "SuA" ... As, both appear to be correct ...  :klickygrin:

Dear Playmofriends  :)

"Masterpiece" is certainly not a word that I would be using to describe something which is not by far extraordinary, original, inspiring and beautiful and Emma.j's last creation is certainly one of them...

I take a deep bow  :wow:

Karim :)
