It was a great layout Gordon, really inspiring....and it was lovely to be able to meet you and Diane.

Best regards,
Claire  :wave:

Good to meet you and your father, too, Claire, and I look forward to seeing you again next year.  :wave:

Thank you, tahra.  I've had a good morning gardening and a snooze after lunch so I'll post a few more photos before going out to sort out the PM I took to Kirkbean.

It's the beach scenes today, and I must admit I was so pleased with some of the groups of figures in last year's beach scene that I used them again with one or two additions.

The old harbour wall means sea fishing is possible and the catches good.  (You can't see it in this picture, but this is the young lady's third catch of the day.):



Where there's water, there's danger, so a lifeboat patrol is maintained at weekends and during the hoilday season:



This sea canoeist needs to take care as there can be awkward currents round the bridge piers, especially as the tide turns:



However, you don't actually need the sea to have fun in a boat:



A pool left by the tide provides this mariner with enough water for sailing:



For these young ladies it's as the pop song said, "School's out!"



While for others it's "Dive! Dive! Dive!":



Last row of the day:



Ready for tomorrow:

Those beach scenes are amazing! The sand, the klickys... the poses... wonderfully imagined and executed :)
(though I do find half a klicky kinda.. creepy :-[ )

The beached little boats look awesome!

It really was a wonderful display Gordon, with so much attention to detail and so much to see.

Thank you very much for bringing it for everyone to share.

I have finally packed away all my Playmobil   :(  and for the first time in three weeks or more I have an evening to spare so will try to sort out my photos ready for posting.

Thank you, Elaine.  Both Diane and me enjoyed ourselves tremendously.  I've started tidying up the garage so I can then start putting the Playmobil away, and not just from this year, but back to February 2011!

I'll aim to post the rest of the pictures tomorrow when we get back from our walk from Robin Hood's Bay to Whitby.

I really love the guy getting into the boat, clever how you removed his legs! I assume the arms are somehow tacked? Also, the guy teaching his wife/girlfriend how to fish. Brings back memories of when Chris and I were dating! :love:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Thank you tahra, Rhalius and Bonnie. 

Klickies cut in half aren't to everyone's taste, but it's easier than cutting a klicky shaped hole in the baseboard!   :)  His arms are angled so that his hands are either side of the boat's deck which sticks out clear of the sides.

The klicky about to roll back over the ship's side and into the water kept being turned round so she was going to jump in feet first, so I guess there were some youngsters there who hadn't seen too many underwater nature films on the TV.

Glad to bring back happy memories, Bonnie.  I did set the figures up so the man's left hand was steadying the right arm of his companion, but in this picture I notice it isn't.  They did fall over once or twice early on as a seagull kept falling off the bridge and hitting the fish.

Awesome pictures! Everything in that diorama looks great! Thanks for sharing! :)
