Gosh, that is an amazing space Ras, and so much Playmobil.  :omg: :wow: :omg:
My eldest boy was looking at it with me and he wanted to know if this was your Playmobil Exhibition - it makes ours look rather small now!!  :-[
I love your Western town - a three storey saloon  :o I was quite proud of my two storey saloon, but now I want more ...
Is the other space the boys' room - the one you had to move out of?

Wow.  Great collection! :wow: :wow: I was wondering how the weather will effect your stuff?  I ask because I'm in the process of converting my old music studio into my playmo den.  I'm a little concerned because it's uninsulated.

Every square inch of that barn will be covered in Playmobil before long, and you’re going to be building extensions and add-ons just to house extensions and add ons… Been there and done that I have…
But since done is done, ¿would you listen to some bad but well meant advice? Many years ago I had pretty much all my toys in a barn. Then one night it caught fire. The water to the barn didn’t work and there wasn’t sprinklers. Had we installed sprinklers and working water, the building would have been saved AND the contents, less a little water related discoloration, would have been none the worse for wear.

HI

This is a night mare of mine. It is an old very dry barn. I have neighbors who like fireworks too  :omg: I have been thinking about sprinklers and will call my childhood friends brother who professionally installs fire abatement sprinklers in large buildings and get a blue print of a system I can install. Wet toys are a lot better than melted ones. I bet my insurance would not even believe what I had if a fire did occur and if I tell them now they will not know how to add it to the policy.

Oh my gosh!!!! Ras this is absolutely amazing!!! I long for the day I will be able to have a big area to place my playmobil on playtables and have it all set up and easy to play!!!

The sheer amount of your collection is truly overwhelming!!!  :wow: :
Love the western set up!!! Its really wonderfull!!!

Thank you it has taken me 6 months to finally get to this point.

:cheerlead: :cheerlead: :cheerlead: :camera: :camera: :camera: :camera: :camera:You have an amazing collection!!!! I can see your effort and money spent on them. Good that your kids also like playing with your playmobil :D

I am eager to get the down stairs ready. I have a few thousand board feet of lumber to move out then I can get the other dioramas built.

Hi

I have not done an official exhibition yet. I am planning one someday and I hope it will be as successful as yours.

I can take some more pictures of the saloon. I had to due some weird things for the porch supports. The content of the inside of the saloon is adult oriented >:D lots of arms deals and other debauchery's   :lol:

Yes the other room is the X-office and now is the kids room. I have to build the loft beds, fireman pole, perhaps a slide and art areas and what ever else is on the honeydew list  ;)

Thanks Gordon , pictures never do it justice. In the western diorama you crawl under the table and enter the wild west. The yellow fabric goes all the way around you shutting everything else out. Then you get the trains going around you and you really just wonder off into imagination land  :D I want to try to catch it all by video to show it better.

I want such a big plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaace!

Yes we have been rearranging stuff for a long time. It never seems to end

The area with the blue paper is for the pictures and we can change the background to clouds, clear sky, or I am looking for some night effects. The area with the yellow fabric was supposed to look like the western hills of dry grass but I want to change it to something that will look better in pictures. Any ideas ?
