Hi everyone!
My little village:

My Klickies make a new blue friend. ;D

Vincenzo the Viking tries out the new sushi bar. He's not really a Viking, in truth he's a shoemaker from Naples but no one has the heart to tell him so.

Meanwhile, the King has started taking up yoga to work off the sushi feast.

I can only agree with Playmovictorian - a perfect start to the day! :wow: :wow: :wow: Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Where did you find the background for your photos, please? I've tried searching the internet but I've never found anything like that. Usually the backgrounds are for model railways and so too small for Playmobil.

Such lovely and funny scenes. Thank you for posting them! :*)
I'm also curious about that gorgeous landscape vista behind your castle. Did you paint it yourself?
-
I really like your diorama scenes :clap:! I, like everyone else am curious in regards to the back ground used in your pictures. Where did it come from?

Hi Cloud Strife :wave:
That street scene is so wonderful with what looks like your custom background. It really makes the scene setting so peaceful and beautiful :clap: The other scenes are great as well , like the wooden floors detail and all the delicious sushi. Oh if only Playmobil would take notice of the gentleness of common folk & buildings in the Knights theme :crossed:
I was wondering what those buildings which looks like a bakery with the water wheel is , and that thing the boy is sitting is are ? I recognize all the other gems just not those . The water wheel fits in so nicely with its color scheme
Thanks for sharing

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
I painted the background myself on a large piece of leftover formica from a demolished kitchen remodel. Acrylic paints and regular house paint cover most of the background. It took a lot of tries and placing random Playmo buildings here and there to figure out what kind of layout my painting needed. Didn't want to do all that work and find out that part of the background is going to be mostly covered by buildings anyway.
The floor is a self adhesive cupboard liner from Home Depot (hardware store).
Rasputin, the Smurf and princess are sitting on a landscape from the Conservatory of the Modern House. They work well with old Steck pieces if the Steck house is perched on a standard System X floor piece. The water wheel is from Sylvanian Families Water Mill Bakery which has been reissued recently I think.
So nice to see so many familiar names from other boards here. Cheers!

i too want to add my compliments on your background, it adds so much, the whimsical style of the clouds, the colors of the hills, are just the right touch of magical make-believe without overpowering the scene in front.

Well done! You are very talented! I wish I was able to do projects like that, with a piece of scrap formica :yup:!

Very nicely done Cloud Strife! Great to see some of the older Klickies and the setting is so peaceful and calm, the background really does add a great deal to feel of the scene. Thank you for sharing this with us and look forward to seeing more of your photos. :wave:

Somehow I missed the first photo and wondered where was the water wheel and the background that everyone was talking about, but I found it eventually and I have to agree it really is superb - well done! :wow:

2 balconies AND a Sushi Bar , wonderful
Rather old fashioned though. Yoga? Isn't everyone doing Pilates these days??
