Oh wow, that looks wonderful! Some great well-furnished buildings there. LOVE the store, and the farmhouse. :love: I want it! Lots of nice details, very good job. :)

Btw, is that a black baby with white clothes!? I never saw that before, is it custom?

 :thanks: Thank you all very much for the comments, we're very happy you liked it :)

@ Jrodmobil: Western is definitely worthwile to collect, since the theme is very well varied and playmobil has been releasing sets right from the beginning up 'till now in very good quality.
The wagon and the spotted dog are from the early 1980's 3660: a playmobil color set. I can't take credit for painting it  :lol:  When I was around 8 years old, my neighbours gave me their old collection of PM and there was a lot of PM color in there.



This is a picture I got from the internet, I never had the box. Strangely enough, the box shows a white wagon cover, but inside there was a beige one.

@ Bonniebeth: Yes it's the baby from the Colorado Springs station, but I changed the yellow body. When I was young, I had no idea that the black baby was so rare. So one fine morning I just pulled the head out, basically  :-[ Luckily that method proved to be quite safe.

 Thanks for the info Birdie on the wagon. I still have A LOT to learn with Playmobil, but it's worth it!

Yeah, I did stuff to playmobil when I was a kid that i really wish I hadn't now that its so rare. But at least you've still got a black baby, undamaged!

Great looking town you and your secret partner created. I like all the touches you put in. It must be a prosperous town with all that fancy furniture  ;)

Very nice settings, I like the look of the interiors.
I see the bar from the saloon is lacking, but that one should become available again to order from DS.

This is a co-operation between a secret western collector and myself  ;D
