KNARESBOROUGH PLAYMOBIL EXHIBITION

[playmofirth]

I was looking through the 2010 Playmobil Exhibition thread (www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4247.15) when I found this photo.  I think it shows the sort of thing we are looking for, except with the emphasis on a frontier town rather than the "Indian" camp shown here.

I'm not to far away from you and at the moment have nothing planned in February and would be interested in attending.
 
 I have a few sets that I could display in the themes Knights, Pirates, Western, Native American, Romans and Vikings.

Just  looked at your poster are those dates confirmed?

Think I should be able to make it 
I could add to existing themes or I could bring a circus display.  I also have Victorians but that would be harder to transport/set up etc.

Thanks to Gary and Elaine

I appreciate your recent interest.  I am now looking at whether the hall is big enough!  

I am going to have to rethink the layout in the hall and the best use the space available. With offers in so far I am getting to the limit of what we can manage. I have some ideas, including bringing the airport and construction into the City Life display.  This would result in:
16ft x 4ft Pirate display
16ft x 4ft Knights/Castle display
16ft x 4ft Walters Trains (Winter layout?)
12ft x 8ft Western display (sorry Damo I am going to ask you to lose 2ft of width)
16ft x 8ft City Life  (Elaine - I'll send you the list of my collection)


What I would like to ask you both to do if possible is take a photo or photos of what you would layout on an 8ft by 4ft flat base board - Garry with Romans or Vikings and Elaine with Circus.  Is this okay?

12ft x 8ft Western display (sorry Damo I am going to ask you to lose 2ft of width)

  WHAT!!!!!!   

Ok, definately no room for forts

I shall just work with the train, a town, Indian camp, ranch, and Goldmine.

We shall see about the mountain/tunnel when I do my next mock-up with a plain oval

Currently, city life is 20ft by 8ft.  What is happening to the other 4ft by 8ft?

Bear with me until I have rerun the layout of displays.  Its all in the pot for now.  I appreciate that your interest is probably in the City Life and this remains very much the centre piece.  The extra 8 x 4 is probably still in.

Walter is keen to put up his winter/Christmas layout.  I await his photos of his new displays to see what is on offer.  The larger train layout may be in danger of "over powering" the playmobil city life.  I may go with high street based approach.  I may still be able to include your train.

OK, Mark, look forward to the revised layout plan.  I can do train and/or emergency service set up.

I have reworked the layout of displays to incorporate all those interested in being involved.  See the PDF attachment.  Comments welcome

Looks great

Is racing really going to be outside?

One thing my parents thought of was how am I going to get to the back of my display table to set things up 8 ft is a long way to reach
