hmmm - the medieval battle is impressive and on a huge scale.  A great triumph.  Bravo!

But the vietnam scene repels me a bit.  I dunno - feels a bit funny seeing the civilians in there as well.  War is hell! :(

Yeah that's what I thought too. It's beautifully made but the subject is horrible.

I think it's testament to PM's versatility as a toy that it can be used to create dioramas of dark periods of history and also of fun circuses and zoos.

The Middle Ages is a definite example of that fact. 

I love seeing all of the dioramas that people who have more availability, more creativity, and way more Playmobil than I do, can create.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Or gladiators. I mean, if you think about the colosseum set for a minute, it's horrible!

Same here. I feel like a child wandering through a gathering of great geniuses.
