A fanntastic idea and very well executed!  :wow:


Jochen said what I was thinking, when I saw it, Adrian: very good idea!

(It may be useful for ghostpirates as well ...)

A great display, Adrian, and a very clever and well-executed idea for water.

I really like your idea  :)9 It goes so well with the Explorer ship. I may have to use your creative idea for one of my shelves
Thanks for sharing the pictures
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:

Ah, these pictures, I love them!  The idea is genius townklicky!  This is actually the thread that finally prompted me to join this site and pay the membership fee.  I read all the comments saying how great the pictures and idea was and I just couldn't stand not being able to see them for myself.  ;D

Now I finally have an account and I'm very happy to have joined.  :)

Hi

Maybe we should all make our pictures attachments. My pictures are visible to all and does not help to bring in the members  :eh?: I just started to do it through a hosting site from not wanting to change the resolution.  Even the pictures from El Jefe's recommended speech bubble site ( :wow: thank you by the way ) changed the resolution enough to make the picture a bit blurry.

I think you have a good idea Rasputin, Richard commented on this a while back in that some people just graze the site taking photos. I notice also that if you go back into the archives some photos are no longer available because they were hosted elsewhere and the link is no longer good. The photos are a 'value-added' item.

I created the water using layers of cling film stuck together with PVA glue, and painted every other layer blue, then attached around 6 of these double layers together.
I then used coat hangers to extend it and so allow the boats to sit on the surface.




Thanks, Adrian ...

I know that your amazingly clever technique is going to be very, very helpful when I create my Atlantis diorama! ...  :wow: :wow: :wow:

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

Playmobil Atlantis?  This sounds like it's going to be amazing!  I will happily await photos of your diorama, Richard!  :D

Hello, SubaruWolf ...  :wave:

For years, I've been collecting Playmobil that could be used for an Atlantis theme and a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea theme. Finally, with the release of the latest merpeople, as well as the Roman and Egyptian themes, there seem to be enough parts now available to create a Playmobil Ancient Atlantis theme. There are also almost enough Playmobil parts to create a 20,000 Leagues theme.

Thanks to so many of our wonderful and helpful members here at Playmofriends, I now have plenty of really good ideas for photographing an underwater Atlantis theme.

The next step is to gather up the Canada portion of my Playmobil collection and to buy a few of the new sets.

I was hoping that Geobra would make a Playmobil Atlantis theme, but that doesn't seem to be in their plans. I was also hoping that Geobra would produce a Playmobil Ancient Greek theme, but that doesn't seem to be in their plans either.

However, by the time I've gathered everything together, Geobra may surprise all of us. Especially now, since Lego has released their horrible "Atlantis" theme!

And, Geobra may even surprise all of us with a Playmobil Greek theme. After all, whoever expected that Geobra would make a Roman theme and a Greek theme?

Fortunately you are young, SubaruWolf! Let's also hope that you have enough patience to wait a few years for me to put it all together ...  :klickygrin:

All the best,
Richard
