That's it for edited photos. Just to finish up here are a couple of views of the diorama in my Playmo room. The diorama table is 4 by 6 feet in size.

It's been a fun project that I have worked on for the few months waiting until summer itself comes. I hope you have enjoyed seeing it. Thanks for looking.
-
That's a great diorama, Tim. I love the detail you've gone to and it's great to see old and new Playmobil together, notably the TVI van and the parking meter maid.
I like the Playmobil table it's on, too - a very clever way of providing display space and storage space.
-
Thrilling stuff. The attention to detail is out of this world.
-
I love it :love:
You have really captured the feel of a busy harbour - so many small details; I must go back and take a longer look at it. :wow:
I do like the way you have extended the hotel with the space in the middle as a seating area.
The whole project must have been fun to do and a great way of brightening up the months leading up to summer. :clap:
-
:love: That is great Tiermann :)
I agree about the old/new mix... the first I noticed was the white torso cop..
Loved the booth selling the beach toys.. great way to make use of it. Without ever meaning to, it's another of those things that we end up getting a pile of (like buckets!)
I really like that red motorcycle.. it's called a moped?
And LOVED the way you made the hotel lobby. Amazing. That is a HUGE hotel, by the way, and looks great - pink and all! :)
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Since I have had it up for a couple of months the details keep getting added on as I think of things. The leaf blower guy for instance just went on this weekend.
I really treat all my Playmo equally - if it fits at all of course I use it. Having pieces from thirty years ago along with last week is part of the charm of using Playmobil at all - it all fits even if the styles have shifted a bit over the years.
Those beach toys - totally agree Tahra, I had a ton of them and thought finally I could make use of them.
Yes the red bike is a moped or a scooter in American English, typically that style would be called a scooter.
I played around a bunch with the hotel shape trying to get in all the parts I wanted - it was important to me to have a bigger lobby area with a proper gift shop and a cafeteria, and also to fit in a cleaning department with the maids and washing machines. I ended up using two hotels and two Suite add ons to get the look I wanted. There is one small section of flooring where the second floor joins together that I made up out of small wall pieces but it isn't too noticeable, even though the color doesn't match up with the cream floors.
-
This put a huge smile on my face. Thanks Tim!!! :love: :love: :love:
It's a-ma-zing! :wow: I'm in love with the hotel, I never knew it was possible to add one to the side to make a bigger one that doesn't look like a sky scraper. I thought the building was too limited for that. Proved me wrong 8-)
It all looks so crisp and bright... My favourite part is actually the side room with extra furniture piled up. Of course a hotel needs that too!
I need to find the time to go back to take a closer look, but I was too excited not to post anything just yet ;D

I saw one recently at PCC I think where they had put three of the main floor next to each other with short towers at each end and a roof terrace in the middle. It looked good but took up a lot of table length. Nice for a beach front diorama like they had done though. I didn't actually have enough room to add a beach or the hotel pool or a bunch of other things I would add if I had three times the space. Playmo is just so darn big. I have a whole room for it and still not nearly enough space.
-
Amazing work Tim!
I've loved all of it!
Friendly, Pcv106 :love:

Yes. :-\

Great diorama! So much detail and so much is happening there. I love the way you have used so many birds, and the rat next to the liferings or whatever they are called. Great use of the little summerhouse with keyside. And the hotel is wonderfull, what a great idea to build it like that. And i also love your playmoroom and yes, it's always too small.
-
The detail is fabulous! I love the colour and fun you have created, it must have made you feel cheerful each time you went back to add more. Inspirational and a complete contrast to your Christmas diorama, thank you for sharing it with us.
-
Fantastic diorama, Tim! I really love the ice cream shop, the beach toy stand, and the way you connected the two surf shops to make a more realistic size. And of course the hotel! :love: I really like the way you left the wood table exposed in the middle to make nice wood floors in the lobby. That was a great idea. So many great details, I have to back and look again!
-
It's a wonderful diorama. The zoo kiosk is perfect for the ferry entrance, and I love the hotel workers going to buy snacks from Jim's. Great ice-cream shop - and the messy seagulls on the roof. And the hotel! So clever the way you have extended it. I really like the hotel shop. And the laundry room.
It's also very interesting to see the whole table. That's a marvelous use of the space.
-
You did a fantastic job Tim! I love the Ice Cream Shop and how you hooked everything together to make the semi-circular inlet.
The Hotel was awesome! I wish I had as many building pieces to be able to create things on grand schemes. But I shall just continue collecting parts as I go...
-
I'm a little late to the party, oops!
Really nice work. The attention to detail here is quite incredible. Some great pictures too. :)
-

I love it when a grand scheme comes together. :D It does take time to collect up enough things, and in the case of the hotel a good ebay win. The nice thing about schemes is that you have somewhere to go, being able to target your spending is helpful. My problem is that my schemes are sometimes too grand.
Thanks for the additional comments all :)

Your going to laugh at this, but what engine is that on the floor pulling the cargo cars on plastic track?
-
Laugh? No tat all, i will simply congratulate you on your discerning eye and refined taste. It is 4085 RC-Mega Güterzug-Set (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4085) the German exclusive set from a few years ago. It comes with that diesel style RC engine in light orange and the old MAN style cargo crane in grey instead of the usual yellow. I managed to get it used and mostly complete (missing a couple of track sections and a few parts for the container car and loose accessories) only with the help of my good friend Stephane in Belgium (current member of the month at PCC) at a reasonable price, as good or really even a better than the price of train sets on eBay. It runs beautifully and pulls quite a nice payload on the plastic tracks. My first RC set and very happy with it.

Great work. I was really surprised to see the whole thing at the end because the earlier pictures make it look huge thanks to all the details you've done and the way you laid it out. Interior hotel shots look amazing.
I still think if playmobil thinks the big land bases are viable then so are more construction pieces.
-
Absolutely stunning! :love: :love:

This is amazing! Great job Tim!!! :o
