Dear playmofriends,
first i would like to wish you all the best for 2011. i had a very nice new years eve with my wife and son + family. very relaxed
before i start i would like to tell you a little about my connection with playmobil. please excuse any language mistakes.
i was born 1970 in cologne germany. i think there is no better time to be born - in a playmobil context. when all the beautifull first playmos came out i was absolutely amazed. as my parents also really liked playmobil i had a great time with lots of great presents till 1982. then i stopped playing with playmobil and concentrated more on being a teenager
when my son was born in may 2010 i thought : i must show him the world of playmobil !
after i bought just one set ( farm ) i was hooked - again
thanks to ebay we have some nice playmos at home my son hopefully will like when he is 4.
i don´t care if he will not like them because i like them a lot
i had the vision of this little playmo-world in our house so i reserved some space for it. i work in media / film and rebuild the old farm of my grandpa plus some extra space for studio / work. i found a place in our house and now there is my vision:
i want to build this playmo-area with all my childhoods stars : the pirates, the castle and knights, the farm, the trains, the western world + after discovering all i missed in the last 28 years - the vikings !
i have reserved the space of one room in a corner of my studio and would like to finish the project in the next 12 months. i really want to make it look nice like in the old playmo catalogues - that´s why i choose to work with dioramas . all dioramas together will end up in the "world" .
today i started to photograph my collection and would like to share some nice parts of it. i will not photograph everything but the stuff i think is nice / special.
i just started and have just a few pics but i promise to post more in the next days.
this is really just a small collection of some playmo i like and i saw some "collections" in the net which totaly blow me away - but i think after all it´s worth sharing the story and the pics.
before i forget:
my father was a big playmo collector in the 1970s and i will post some pics of his stuff nearby ( thanks to my new collection we rediscovered our playmohobby and searched for every little playmo he had in his home
). expect some serious 200+ nürnberger stadtwache playmos
so here is the start and like i said i will just start with a few pics but will keep up to post more nearby. thanks playmofriends for this great place in the net !
all the best
