See-Stadt, Steck Village
« on: October 24, 2016, 20:53:08 »
This is the largest diorama I've made so far, & it's relatively very small. It took 2 1/2 hours to set-up, photograph, & break-down. I call it "See-Stadt." The location is Piedmont Lake in Ohio. It was a good learning experience; taking involved shots outdoors is very different than using an indoor set-up, but the weather & wind cooperated, though it was a bit too sunny.

Nice pics!
And a beautiful & ideal environment for the shots! Is it near your house? Must be very relaxing to live there I imagine.
What did you used for pavement (underground) of the town? Assuming it is not something like a big stone bench... Whatever it is it looks very suitable!

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Look at all your Steck now!  :lol:

Great pix - there's something very cool about pix using a "real" background!

Beautiful! I agree that it always looks nice to have Playmobil outside in a 'real' setting. Though my enthusiaism for taking playmobil outdoors as a child often ended up in damage  :-[

I also love how busy the street scene is, I always love looking at the little details.

The pavement was the first thing that caught my eye.
Oke second . . . after all the beer in your pics. Great job!
Playmobil will not tire, it will not falter and it will not fail

LOL - it is indeed a big stone bench. Piedmont Lake is about an hour from my house. It is just one of several large lakes near me. My part of Ohio is mostly countryside.
