This isn't quite a box diorama, but some interesting pictures from a mini-catalogue from 1997. I felt it better to add to this thread than start a new one. These are blown up a bit from the original size, hence the grainy quality.



I think this rather nicely illustrates that the Medieval Castle and Fantasy themes were initially treated as quite separate.




and finally one for cachalote and Gus



Oh for the days when ships had proper white sails without rips in them!  :lol:

From a '95 mini-catalogue. What's this? A dragon has invaded the Medieval knight world. It's all downhill from here... ;D

Hm, two very important playmopirates, in this picture ... "Blackbeard" (3858 & 3939) and the (in)famous one of 3863, for whom I have no name ...

Thanks, Martin! 8}

About the sails, well, it's a shame but, "that's toy for kids", it has to be colour'ul now ... ;)

Bumping this up in response to Giorginettos suggestion of a box back diorama archive.
My personal favorite isn't here . i will have to get a shot of it as I have it here. The Playmospace shipyard one, where they are building a new ship.

BTW - Heather posts box back diorama shots on PlaymoDB when she has been provided with them.

Thanks for bumping this thread up, Tim! I have a few pics that I want to upload, but can't because I'm on my phone.

it's a great idea to put together all our box diorama pics in one single thread - if I may suggest, that thread (wheather it's this or a new one) should be a sticky so it gets updated constatly :) - what do you all think?
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:
