bonniebeth: i see it more like exchanging ideas  :) ...just when i think about what i could make for a zoo project...oh no stop thinking about more worlds...arrrrgh... no serious - it would be fantastic if you find some inspiration for your zoo project  :)9

 :yup: At the moment I'm keeping it all on one level for simplicity's sake (and also because i am from very flat country, no hills at all) but I am thinking in the future of having the zoo be a little more multi-level, with over-head viewing areas and such, so I need ideas!

It looks absolutely wonderful  :clap: I can't wait to see it finished, or is this one of those projects where it will always be a work in progress (as it is always improving)?  :**:

Thx everybody !!

playmoholics: like i wrote in the introduction - this is a project i want to finish over this year. i will have parts that can be removed and this also keeps the possibility to change some things. the hole display will content the viking world ( one half is ready ) the castle + medieval town / medieval sceneries ( hope to finish the castle this weekend ) pirate world ( half ready , the port diorama is next )  farm ( ready ) 2 trainstations (ready) + western world which can replace the vikings - if the train is more in use. and the train that will go around the display. all the playmo is there - the task is to build the missing parts of the dioramas . it took some time to find a start because i wanted to have a real solid wooden base. i had to make some tests with the trains because some parts are higher as others and this is a bit of a problem for the trains but the problem is solved :**:

Is this going to be accessible for your son to play with as well?  Or is it more of a dad thing and he can just look from a distance?

Wesley: this display should be absolutely playable for my son.  if he likes to play with the farm i can just take this part out and he can play with it in his room - when he wants. or play on the hole display. the castle is now very solid and he can hold up anywhere - nothing will smash. at the moment he can just watch as there are too many little parts that are super interesting for him. the older he is - the more he can explore. as there are some special items, i have to check if these parts will be displayed just when i can have an eye on his "battles" - i will see.

it would be cool if he likes to build a diorama for himself one day, because you can lern a lot about working with different tools and of course it´s a very creative process.

I just read the first post of your thread closely (LOL - must be ADD) after looking at the pictures previously and skimming over the text.  Anyway, your story pretty much parrallels mine with getting Playmobil in the 70's (although it wasn't as easy to find here in Canada then - nor now) and then getting out of it and then when the first born was on the way making sure there was plenty of Playmobil to play with.
