Birdie's medieval town and castle

[gaspodfreud]

Hi Birdie !

Very nice medieval town ! i realy like the relief , the ground witch is clean and playable and realistic . I'm happy to see animals everywhere and things are not too row like it was in reality . Thanks to share your pictures , difficult to say the one i prefer but i like the little girl whith goose and the entrance of the market .  jeremy

A really great set up! so many little details.

That tavern sure looks like a lively place and I love how cramped it is like most taverns actually where back then. Adds to the atmosphere. That alchemist in the tower really adds a touch of mystery, that market seems very busy and theres just so much going on everywhere. 

I do feel a bit sorry for the fellow who has to pull a full cart uphill on his own though. 

Definatly a wonderfull set up, will you use it to tell stories? It seems perfect to tell some tales with.

It might be years in the future, but my eventual goal is to have a rather permanent medieval set up for storytelling, As if it where the movieset of a tv series.

Thank you so much for your kind comments, everyone!!   

I've been a Playmofriend for a few years now, but I'm still very happy I found all you people who share my enthusiasm for the Playmobil world.

When a project's finished, I get a bit lazy with it. I think I lack a creative story-telling bug    I'm already thinking of a new diorama (a Victorian one).
But I don't feel like taking this one down yet, so maybe...
What you describe sounds great though, I sure hope you achieve your goal soon. Aren't you working on a novel with a medieval scene?

Do you mean the farmer with the green cart? He's just trying to impress the maid feeding the chickens. It's working

Very nice settup your photos our very atmospheric my favourites have got to be the last couple of the artist, tailor and the fisherman the tailor in particular is such a nice vibrant room also I like the tavern as has been said the crowded feel makes it seem more realistic my faovurite area has to be the market though those shots really do capture the hustle and bustle very well and the stall with all the different armour and shields really caught my eye  . Hope one day I'll buy a castle of my own anything beyond that really is going into the realms of dreams

I do work on writing a novel set in a medieval world, but its quite a bit darker and more dramatic than the light hearted friendlier and warmer stories that I tend to post here. It's a nice contrast and really allows the two projects to be completely different.
I'd probably have my medieval set up finished before that novel though, very perfectionistic about it. Another reason why I like telling stories with playmobil, fast results.

And nice to hear that farmer's efforts arent in vain, impressing all the chick(en)s.

Wow!!! What a wonderful diorama!! I love it. You have done an excellent job with very nice scene and details. It is so beautiful with great pictures. And your collection is fantastic, congrats!! Many thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's truly amazing, Birdie... I don't know where to start to say what I like about it. Well done!!!

I went through this thread again, and I really love this set up! And though I'm far more into medieval warfare, I confess my favourite picks are from the market place. So crammed with so many things, so full of life, I love it!

[Birdie]

Thanks a lot, Dr Dralek and George and Lynx and cowabounga     

And though I'm far more into medieval warfare [...]

Yeah, in that respect I always end up with pretty unrealistic diorama's 

I was thinking of introducing a jousting tournament, but I couldn't find any of the sets I needed at a decent price.

[Rhalius]

The jousting sets are quite beautifull, still trying to get the swan tent sometimes but am very happy with the tournament stage of that same batch. great clickies too! The lady in the yellow dress that comes with it has become one of my favorite medieval clickies.
