... mostlikely not possible.
i would love to make a roman scene like in bc 10000 when the guys found the pyramide... i know its happend similar in romans times in egypt but with what playmobile part i could ever make a big place like that.. i would love tooo...

but i guess its finacial impossible for a student.. specially when the studnent allready bought way too much playmobil.. lol

anyone got other ideas which would be awesome, but cant really realize because its nearly impossible?

Hello, Mike!

I have to admit that I don't usually think big, and the medium I think, for the moment, seems a bit far away already ...

Even so, Playmobil is ... well, full of very little guys. (I didn't go to the cinema, to watch 10.000 bC ... I watched some traillers, though.) There's some things that can be accomplished with a good studio, and (old) tecniques of shooting (photos, pictures).

But I think I'll have a little harder trouble when I try to make a scenary for boats ... Until now, things have been relatively easy.

You might try to make some medium things, for a start ... Are you used to make pics of your playmo already, or have never done?

& I'll may answer you better, Mike, with examples of my own expectations on my playmoproduction(s) when I watch 10.000 bC. For the moment, I was thinking about the difference between Star Wars (Episodes I, II and III) and The Lord f the Rings, which I consider bad (mobs too artificial), compared to Ben Hur, for example, which used human extras to make mobs, and the movie was like a lot of playmo together, and this is what you have been thinking, I believe ...

There's some sort of limitations, in what concerns playmobil. And it has been discussed here a little ago that it's hard to join great numbers of klickys &/or scenario versus (or with) quality of story. It seems to get a little difficult, so, to me, for the moment, it is a challenge to believe that people who have lots & lots of klickys & buildings will do good meaningful (or artistic) productions. The best I've seen of this sort, not with many klickys, but with what I could call "a complete klicky aparatum for a great production" was a story called "Night of the Reaper". They don't have a mob there, but lots of castle, medieval houses & nature parts, and they use it very well.

Does this have to do with what you were talking about?

Hi Mike,
I had to think about this one for a bit...I looked at the trailer to see what it was about.
(I don't get out much )

You could probably use "Hollywood" type scenes, using Playmobil scale sets.  Easy to build
with plywood.  (Thin stuff.)

Small diorama type scenes might work with rocks, trees, whetever.

If you roam around Playmofriends, and Garden Wargaming, there are many pictures that would give you plenty of ideas, I think.

I hope this helps a little.   

Good luck and best regards,
Jimbo
