Title: Mini dioramas.
Post by: Georgeag1972 on August 13, 2012, 16:26:13
Hello my friends. :wave:

After my second daughter's birth I don't have much time and place to work with my playmos. I decided to work on mini dioramas and  in this thread you will can see these. So, here is the first one with my new West set. I hope you will like it. :)

Beautiful! Did you use a painting by Bob Ross as background? ;) I've always wondered what exactly the Chiefs put in their pipes, just tabacco or other spice mixtures?

No my friend. It's not from Bob Ross. It's from an itinerant man who sell this at the roads. I bought this for 5 euros. ;D

Many thanks to all for your nice comments, glad you liked it. :)

Hello guys.

With the same background and a different base plate here is one more mini diorama.  :)

A very big and hungry bear.

Nice to see that there is someone to stop the cavewoman from trying to pet the bear. (it somehow looks like she thinks its friendly.  ;) )

It's so pretty with the back drop! The figures look great... I really like the cave people series, but it doesn't fit anywhere in my collection, so I always tell myself I can't buy any of it.

Some more beautiful dioramas there, the Caveman one looks very nice and again works well with that backdrop, I like the amount of detail int hat last one full of colour and life. I't s good to hear that you and your daughter are both having so much fun playing with the Playmobil together  :)

Me too! Always a great eye for detail, George! Your pics inspire me and yes, I did buy a mammoth skeleton because of your skeleton army!

Post by: Rasputin on November 13, 2012, 21:09:50
Very beautiful set up and photography. I too like the way you positioned the heads. The male looking at the howling beast, the child looking to its mother for security.

I must say though I see a different scene than some. The wolf pack looking to feast on the vulnerable family and the males (one with spear and one in the dark) are positioning themselves to defend the clan. Must be the smell of the cooking fish that brought this all about.

Post by: Georgeag1972 on November 14, 2012, 11:16:53
Thank you very much playmofriends. :wow:
The scene with baby came in my mind from my small daughter(Almost 4 months in life :love:) and the way she looks at her mother. She can't take her eyes from her, after all she is the one who feeds her. :lol:

George.

 ??? Well I can't speak for anyone else but, personally I've only just seen these new photos, it looks like pne of those nice quiet hidden bays/beaches no doubt very peaceful I like the boat and the little guy with his scarf and wooly hat looks right for someone out at sea  :)

I like them George,  :love: but I've only just seen them.  :-[

It does feel disappointing when you take time to post photos and then get few replies, but I think that with them being on the end of this thread they were probably overlooked.  ???

What did you use for the beach? I like it, it looks courser than sand, and much neater - sand always seems to get spread out easily.

I've only just picked up on this topic, George, and what a wonderful eye you have for creating a picture!

The farm picture, as Tim said, could be on an early Playmobil box, it's classic Playmobil.  The cave picture is excellently lit with the side lighting (the picture reminded me of the description of the cave in Plato's Republic which I came across in my university philosophy course fifty years ago!) and the first of the beach shots is a perfect example of small is beautiful.

Looking forward to seeing more.

The beach looks peaceful - I like the rocks with the palmtrees framing it.. curious to the "sand" too!

Hope the boat brings the beer! ;)  (better yet, Coca-Cola, I don't like beer)

Hello Elaine.

For the beach I have used decorative gravel. You can find it very easily and I believe that you have seen this, in white color. ;)
Many thanks for your comment.

Friendly George.
