That 4123 is what makes Playmobil so special - it's a set which no other toy manufacturer would ever think of producing.

I would like to share a first look on the "world" and would really like your opinions how to go on. i put the main parts in the place i think it makes sense. the castle will be on a hill on the right there will be a medieaval-wood-etc-world. unfortunately the castle can´t be as big as i planned because i want to keep it "playable" at the moment i think of putting some parts of the world in some hills to gain more space.
the pirates are getting a port and the vikings a town above the diorama i finished. i did the farm first and it´s a bit too large but i can´t change it anymore.i`m looking forward to your feedback and ideas... :hatoff:

Oh wow!!!  :o :o :o This is an awesome wagon!!! Thanks for the pics!! Very nice to see the interior! I always wondered how would it be like!
Just came across this post today, don't know how I missed it.  :hmm:  Thanks for sharing all the pictures.  I had never seen the inside of the caboose either and it lived up to my expectations.  The farm is super.  :love:
What a great project, Skywalker!  It looks like you are well on your way with your display.  You have a great space for it!

 :o Very impressive!!!! :clap: (my son says it's cool). Not to sound old-I am only 26-but does it hurt your back to play on the ground?  :-[

It is very wonderful as it is, but perhaps you could include a space for a forest? The large Playmobil trees always look nice  :D
Will you have your world set up all the time?
Well, it is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing  :**:

Joe: Thanx !

Wolf / Playmoholics : when i was a child i allways played on the floor with my playmo. i just want to keep it playable and all the areas should be reachable. the space in the middle would be great to have for more dioramas but for now i keep it like this.

Playmoholics: i have a lot of trees collected over the past months. still not enough...after buying them on ebay here and there i found out that they are sold on the german internet store for a reasonable price ( 3 trees - one large , one middle , one small for 9,90€ - when you order some shipping is free...)

to gain more space i made one decision. i will have 2 big dioramas for the vikings ( one is nearly finished as you might have seen before..) . those will be very easy removable to make more space for the western world. so it will be either vikings or western and i have enough space to make both parts of the world perfect.
