Playmoholics : sorry i don´t have a pic of the hole room. but i can tell you the size. it´s a table i made out of wood. the table is 2 x 6 meter long. i think the actullal size of the dio is 2m x 4m the backgound pic is 6 meters long and hangs around the table, less photoshop work now ! on this table i build my dioramas , make pics etc. it is the space above my studio which is now my playmo loft  ;D as i have the studio in my home it´s a short way for me to go upstairs and do some "work" there. i also have two softboxes ( lights ) from my fotostudio hangin on the side because light is a very important thing when you want to make pics... i think it doesn´t make sense to see how much space i am using because you may have some different ideas or just not enough space for such a big diorama. if i wouldn´t have the chance to make a diorama up in the loft there wouldn´t be such big diorama possible for me. my wife would go bananas if i would build it in our house in this size ( there i just have my weekly playmoshrine and that´s ok ). anyway you should think of what do you want to have  displayed ? or maybe you just reserve a certain space in your home and build a new set up anyway you like. i think the process of building a diorama is even more fun than to look at it day by day. i always see something i want to rearrange. for example i would like to have a diorama that is more like a medieval town , like eulenburg , but i would also like to do a medieval scene that is more in nature , so i would have to clear the table and build a new diorama. that is the most fun for me. so i change the set up on table every 2 weeks. for me it was more like : ok how much space do i have - then set up everything and what doesn´t fit on the table stays in the box...
but i already plan another table in the room which will be more than double from this tables size just for the upcoming western / train diorama...the madness never ends....  :**:

Truly magnificent! This was the sort of dioramas that inspired my to be a PM collector. I just love looking at them.  :love: :love: :love:

Very much like the old box art but an awful lot better. I am in awe! and very envious. I'd love to have the room and time to set something up like this. I understand what you mean about getting the most fun in building it, it must be very satisfying at the end to step back and admire it all. Bravo.

I can only repeat what the other members have said - wonderful, amazing, great attention to detail - when can we buy the picture postcards  :lol:

I'm also very impressed with the background you've made, I'd love one but I don't really build my medieval stuff up very often. I know you said your going to do a western one next but is there any chance of a general countryside one? I'd love some thing that had hills, fields, woods but not a mountain top version that I could use for both my large Victorian houses and as a palace backdrop. Wishfull thinking here!  :help:

 :picsplz: :omg: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:
Improvise, adapt, overcome ..... If all else fails FAKE IT!

Wow! What an amazing diorama! Such detail, and I love the story it tells. I especially like the material you used for the cobblestones. Would you be willing to tell what it is that you used for them? Makes me want to get my very small medieval collection out again and get building!

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Hi Rene! would you mind sharing the scale of the trees? 1:50?? (if you know it of course)
The biggest I can found is 1:86 which is about 12/17 cmts depending on the tree.... and yours must be at least 22/24 cmts right?
