At last I've finally dismantled all my displays so have a little time to post some more detailed photos from the exhibition.
I'll start off with photos of the Arctic and the Viking dioramas.
I wanted to do a little more than just the eskimos and igloos so decided to contrast these with a more modern arctic research centre...

Every day we hid Wally in one of the displays - when I took these photos he was in the plane - it was lucky that he was wearing his woolly hat. :lol:

I didn't have any skis for the plane so stood the wheels on two snowboards! unfortunately when I took this photo it was right at the end of the exhibition and I didn't realise that someone had moved them :-[

Children seemed to love touching the 'snow' and I had to keep moving it back to where it was supposed to be!

Hope you're not bored with so many photos, I couldn't decide which to post :-[
Here are some from the Vikings and Sea Monsters display... again thank you to Sir Gareth who let me use his ideas from his Knaresborough display.
First of all a photo with a fellow Playmofriend ... it was great to meet him. :)

It was not until halfway through the first day that I noticed that Will had put a small sea monster on a bed of hay under the fortress... obviously waiting there to grow and take them by surprise :lol:

Thats all for today, have to start bringing my Playmo home tomorrow, but will try and post some from another display later tomorrow night.

I love pic number four in the Viking display where only the Viking's legs are showing! :lol:
Nice dios, Elaine! Great job!
-
These displays are great! I look forward to more pictures. :)
-
Wonderful :)
That sea-creature eating the oar (paddle-thing) is so funny!
-
:)9 :)9 for the snowy mountains backdrop.
-
Beautiful scenes, Elaine!!! And as always with great detail!!! Love your work!!!
-
great pictures, I like the little details.
Why do the eskimo's have a gas tank with them though?
And one of those vikings looks a bit murderous with his axe and sword in hand, walking behind his unarmed and drinking buddies. ;)
-
Great! I absolutely love the arctic scene! To bad I can't play with the snow myself. :)
-
Wonderful displays with very nice details and scenes.Congratulations.
Many thanks for the pictures.
George.

Superb dioramas and lovely photos! :wow:
So much fun stuff to look at in every scene. I love how you made the icy river and other custom landscape elements. :love:
Kirkbean is very lucky to have such a fantastic Playmo exhibition to visit each year. :)
-
Great photos Elaine! Love the humor in them! :lol:
That daredevil seagul on the head of Nessie and the vikings in the water were awesome! :lol:
I didn't understand who is the fellow Playmofriend in the fisrt viking pic :-[
-
Thanks for the photos Elaine. Lots of great ideas there
-
Thank you for all your positive comments :wave:
And one of those vikings looks a bit murderous with his axe and sword in hand, walking behind his unarmed and drinking buddies. ;)
They've left behind their drinks in their hurry to go to sea and fight the monsters - the guy with the axe is just telling them they've forgotten to take weapons ;D
I didn't understand who is the fellow Playmofriend in the fisrt viking pic :-[
The mystery Playmofriend is called mobildad. Although from further north in Scotland, he was working nearby, saw a poster and called in to see the exhibition.
It was nice to meet him.
