Title: Underwater diorama
Post by: skypurr on September 04, 2012, 21:13:05
Sorry I haven't been very active this last month, but since Kirkbean Exhibition ended, I spent over a week packing things away and since then I've been extremely busy with craft fairs and things other than Playmobil, but have a fairly free month now so hope to spend more time here.

I still have Gulliver, Hogwarts and Zoo photos to post but thought I'd start off with Junior's Underwater display.

The display was on an 8' x 4' board, with a frame above it attached to which was a undersea background then thick clear plastic around the other three sides.  To avoid reflection I waited until we were dismantling the display and had removed the plastic before taking most of the photos.

Here's a couple of photos of the whole scene...(the dustpan in the second photo shouldn't really be there  :lol: )

A close up of the octopus (this should have been my giant squid in the Hogwarts display but he wouldn't let me use it  :'( )

I liked his use of the tree house from the bunny sets as its lair!

My incomplete trawler made a good shipwreck...

Hope you like them, it was good to see Junior getting involved with Playmobil again   :) as he's been concentrating on his laptop and game design for the past twelve months.  :(

I'll get on and post pics of the other dioramas in the next day or two, when I can sort out some of the 60 zoo photos!

This looks really great! Junior did a very good job. You're right, the use of the bunny tree was brilliant, and you don't notice it being a tree stump when it's covered in sand like that.



I can't wait to see the zoo pics. ;D You better show us all of them!

Those photos have come out beautifully, Elaine, and really done Junior's work credit.

Another fantastic display, skypurr! The Kirkbean Exhibition really seems to have gone well. :)

Junior did a great job. Underwater is one of the most interesting themes Playmo has done

looks great, I really like the picture where you are looking strait at it. At first I thought you had hundreds of items but then I realised a back drop for a fish tank was used, it looks great and adds a  lot to the overall look
