Oh my God!!! A-maaazing  :omg: My jaw dropped and the pictures just went on and on...

Tiermann, your creativity has no limits  8-)

It's difficult to pin-point my favourite details because there are so many, but I have to mention:

- The white rabbit  ;D  :wow:

- The forrest!!! And the strange things growing in the garden  :love:

- The interiors look perfect to me

- The Halloween party  :clap: It actually makes me feel like setting up a trick-or-treat parade right now. Your combo of strangely dressed clickies made me laugh out loud  :lol:

- The lay-out of the building (I agree with Knight Train about the red house)

- Am looking forward to close-ups of the circus

A few questions:

What set does the lion-boy come from? Or is it a custom? In that case: it looks gorgeous  :)
Will you be showing this diorama in a playmobil fair somewhere?

Hauntingly spectacular, Tim!  Your attention to detail is wonderful, so much to take in.  I really liked the way you staged the pumpkin patch, the lone bunny in the cage with all those bones and the rickety bridge connecting the towers.  Thanks so much for the Halloween treat!

Brilliant ideas realized in an amazing setup! I like the fact that 95%+ is original Playmobil (unaltered by paint etc.).

Cheers,
HDL

That head in the glass jug is a brilliant idea  :o

I agree, it was ripped off borrowed from Emma, she used it in her Haunted House recently. Prior to seeing that I didn't even realize that the bottom came off the jug.

Thanks for the nice comments. I hope to do a few more photos but probably not until after Halloween. There are a few details I didn't get good shots of, like the fact the kitchen has two ovens.

Wow - so many details... And the winged cat! :love:

The winged cat was a gift from MsOmega years ago. The flying monkey custom I did myself, along with the Bride of Frankenstein. I think those three are the only things in the diorama that use physically altered or non-Playmobil parts. The other custom figures are all just swapped parts.
