Kirkbean Arctic and Viking displays
« on: August 07, 2012, 00:13:35 »
At last I've finally dismantled all my displays so have a little time to post some more detailed photos from the exhibition.
I'll start off with photos of the Arctic and the Viking dioramas.

I wanted to do a little more than just the eskimos and igloos so decided to contrast these with a more modern arctic research centre...



Every day we hid Wally in one of the displays - when I took these photos he was in the plane - it was lucky that he was wearing his woolly hat.  :lol:



I didn't have any skis for the plane so stood the wheels on two snowboards! unfortunately when I took this photo it was right at the end of the exhibition and I didn't realise that someone had moved them  :-[



and more..

.



Children seemed to love touching the 'snow' and I had to keep moving it back to where it was supposed to be!



















I loved the light on these last two photos...





Hope you're not bored with so many photos, I couldn't decide which to post  :-[ 

Here are some from the Vikings and Sea Monsters display...  again thank you to Sir Gareth who let me use his ideas from his Knaresborough display.

First of all a photo with a fellow Playmofriend ... it was great to meet him.  :)





























It was not until halfway through the first day that I noticed that Will had put a small sea monster on a bed of hay under the fortress... obviously waiting there to grow and take them by surprise  :lol:



Thats all for today, have to start  bringing my Playmo home tomorrow, but will try and post some from another display later tomorrow night.

Wonderful  :)

That sea-creature eating the oar (paddle-thing) is so funny!

great pictures, I like the little details.

Why do the eskimo's have a gas tank with them though?

And one of those vikings looks a bit murderous with his axe and sword in hand, walking behind his unarmed and drinking buddies.  ;)

Great! I absolutely love the arctic scene! To bad I can't play with the snow myself. :)

Superb dioramas and lovely photos! :wow:
So much fun stuff to look at in every scene. I love how you made the icy river and other custom landscape elements. :love:

Kirkbean is very lucky to have such a fantastic Playmo exhibition to visit each year. :)
