Moved out to the Barn

Wow.  Great collection! 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. 

Hi

I am wondering the same thing. It is dry and hot in the summer so will things get discolored. I will keep the sunshine off of everything but what about the heat. The dust will wash off and I kind of think it makes it look rustic . I guess if it becomes a problem I can put that stiff insulation between the rafters

very nice rasputin a lot of space and playmo  i would like to be in your son's position if i was a kid  they are very lucky i wish my dad was a playmo fan too!! well .... my kids will be happy now having me as a dad   
 

what do you need to make a playmobil official exhibition ??

I wish my dad collected anything besides military work when I was young. I was able to have large collections of toys but I did not share them with my parents. It really is fun to be able to enjoy toys with your kids 

I guess I want to find a good place that has a lot of tables and a hall. I also want to organize other Northern California members into doing one jointly, maybe in San Fransisco

HI

I think I started collecting about 6 years ago. I really do not have a point of reference in my life so I am just trying to figure out who was born when it all started at Target clearance isle.

It is an old very dry barn. I have neighbors who like fireworks too.

¡¡OH DEAR!! ¡If you can afford it, you might want to consider covering the barn in sheetmetal, stucco, or something else non-flammable as well! (Most people can’t afford it, but if you can, ¡do!)
Otherwise it sounds like you have a good plan going.

how exciting, what a wonderful play place.  i, too, was wondering about the dust and grime from the open rafters.  your boys must be soooo excited.  someday i want to get up there to visit you and the boys, and if i can, i will bring snoqualmie.

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  I want to try to catch it all by video to show it better.

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 ?

Would you mind doing some close up for the background? Is it printout? It is very professional to have a changing background!!!!!

I love that idea... backgrounds are often difficult to make... for the western hills I'd paint something like at the end of Lucky Luke movies on a linen sheet ( http://www.movizdb.com/tags/lucky+luke+dessin+annimes+rapidshare/ ), but I know it's a weird idea....

Great Barn - my only concerns are big spiders ... 

Looking forward to seeing your exhibition one day!

It's good you've got a barn to house your collection.  You really do have a lot of Playmobil, Rasputin!
