Good morning dear Friends
First of all, I wanted to tell you how genuinely HAPPY I am to be here as I have missed you during these years of struggle for my existence.
Taking these pictures yesterday with the hope of a ray of sunshine that never came, I found myself remembering all these years to running like a bee on heat around my diorama in order to take the best shot, adjust props, straighten a character that always falls at the moment of the click, in short the true happiness to do with all my heart something that I love
Some of you may have wonder if I had not lost my mind and converted to the Sylvanian range, which despite the irresistible charm of the family "Chocolate Rabbit Families ", are only here to present you in detail the content and the finished product of the new collection new Town which will form the foundation of my next diorama.
Now that part of the buildings is in place, I will now demonstrate the Playmo compatibility of the Sylvanian range versus Playmobil in detail so that you can properlu see what works and what does not.
Remembering the original Sylvanian Families product through the customs of our friend Emma Jane who tested with great talent the experience almost 10 years ago in 2009 with a windmill I purchased from her at the time, the relatively simplistic finish of the time has now made way to much nicer finsihed and rather sophisticated buildings and accessories with details of the Victorian era which immediately seduced me.
The only downside is their initial purchase price which makes them pretty expensive toys to say the vrey least.
It is therefore with a Playmobil that you will very soon demonstrate the playmocompatibility of the range together with a presentation of the tram which should make a complement nicely the double decker London bus created by our Friend Playmo Leo.
From a miniaturist point of view, my challenge will be to bring these buildings to life through other materials created a lived in urban but green environment in which the they will fit as I absolutely want to avoid the overall pastel colour and whipped cream effect of a Viennese Pastry pastel, if I may risk the comparison.
For it is a real miniature Victorian world which I want to create ranging from the milk boy, the delivery of coal all the way to the elegant gentlemen with canes and ladies with fans not to forgent my dear Mrs Applepie and her joyousl team in the kitchen who I cannot wait to see again late May
Here is the start of a new exciting adventure that begins at the same time as a Spring we have all been waiting for and I hope to bring you along the way little touches of poetry, innocence as well as useful tips and tricks in the making of a Victorian diorama in the months to come.
Your friend Karim
