Greetings everyone! As I continue to show the ongoing improvements of all Playmobil City's emergency service organizations, it has finally come time to unveil the new & improved Playmobil City Emergency Apparatus Repair Division! There have been additional equipment & a new arrangement of the overall facility. The newest key member of the wizard design & development team is a wizard called Oz. He is a specialist in regards to designing new custom firefighting equipment as you can see by the fire symbols on his outfit. The rest of the design team has stayed the same with Wiz, Shorty, & Merlin. The paint team has added a new trainee member recently, & is being overseen by the chief painter, & his helper. It seems he has a problem that may require him to go to rehab very soon, but the paint team says he does a better job while he drinks,…..not good :no:! There have been newly updated technician repair stations added, hydraulic lifts in 2 of the bays, which are only capable of lifting smaller vehicles, 3 motorcycle lifts, some air tools, & a complete revamp of the parts & storage department. There have been 2 fork lifts added to lift heavy objects also. Mean while the Wizard's animal population has exploded with hoards of rats, ravens, cats, & kittens, but all of them coexist harmoniously without a problem, & are well taken care of.

Please take a look around the new repair center, & we hope you enjoy the tour!

WOW, BB! :omg: Now I see why it took you so long to set it all up! The detail is just incredible. I'm going to need to look at it ten more times to take it all in. It's obvious you've seen a lot of these shop environments. Are you able to leave this permanently set up?

Btw, looks like the rats are outnumbering the cats... maybe those cats are a hair too peaceful. ;) I love all the humorous touches in it.

There are the real masterminds of the operation over there! :lol: This is my favourite of your groups! And as bonniebeth said, it must have taken you a long time to set up all those detailed scenes; nice work.

I like the shot of the kitten stalking that raven along the high ledge -- just like a cat! Also, love the way that TV is mounted up on the pole, is that custom? And I see there is no lack of boom boxes this time. :)9 One of these days, we are going to need little klicky ipods instead, because no kid will know what a boom box is. :lol:

Pynedor, it took 1.5 days to set everything up as I wanted, & 3 series of photo's to get the correct lighting I was looking for 8}! Thank you for your kind words! I still have a soft place in my own heart for the first photo story about this repair shop :love:!
