Chris has dione a superb job, Bonnie!  The details show the eye and hand of a professional at work and the use of pieces for different purposes is great. (I take it that the blue seating is actually System-X steps, btw.)

I like the positioning of the Chief on the stairs and the figures in the reception area and the wonderful detail in the classroom and elsewhere - all beautifully done.

That design really is cool! And the interior is very nice too, he thought of everything  ;D
The paramedic classroom is my favourite room. Brilliant, those half-clickies!

And now I want a book like that with the picture of lungs... Do you know which set it comes from?

You mean removing the chassis from the legs? I don't know if I mastered it exactly, but it can be done by slipping something under the tab in the front.

Thanks - will have to try that - sometimes I wished for some to have figures frames..

Thanks everyone! The bronze statues are customs, we used krylon fusion hammered copper paint. There was a thread here about them: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=6348.0


Thanks as I said before they look really good  :)9

Great looking building/diorama. Lots of great details, it really captures the mood of a school too. Thanks for posting it for us to drool over.

Yes, good eye. That's from the school sets. They make great bench seats.


And now I want a book like that with the picture of lungs... Do you know which set it comes from?

All the books and laptops are customs I made for him. The heart and lung pictures are from stickers that came with the school. They were made to be wall charts, but I cut out the relevant parts and put them on the books.

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.

Aha! I thought those pictures looked familiar  :)  Very cool customs! And excellent idea to re-purpose the stickers that way.

Great project, and thank you for posting.  I love the layout of the building, but my favorite part is the detail in the classroom equipment, the cpr mannequins, and the various parts and pieces.  The hose and nozzle teaching module is great as well.

Thanks for sharing bb. Your Chris did a great job in designing what looks like a complicated building. It's not as easy as I thought it would be redesigning the school so it's nice to see how others managed. Some clever use of parts for the interior. I guess I will have to show what our kids built now with the schools you graciously got for us.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
