Playmobil Shelf Displays
« on: November 17, 2011, 02:14:37 »
I have a few shelves in my living room that were initially hung to display books and decorative items, but for some time now have been a place for playmobil displays. I rotate these displays every couple of months, because by that time they are getting pretty dusty anyway. So I take them down, clean them, and put out something different. I've just spent the last couple of days putting away dinosaurs and romans, and finding another place to put my gift shop, so I could put out Western stuff.

Anyway, I decided to start a thread to show my finished displays, as well as a new display set up on my desk, and next time I change it out I'll update the thread. So here's my western sets, all the western stuff I have, except for Silver Ranch and a few cowboys. But I've got western fever reeeeeally bad now! I have a bunch of bison and teepees in my ebay watch list. :lol:


Overview of the shelves

Bottom shelf:


Trapper trading guns to the Indians for buffalo robes


Little kid making mischief by throwing the oars in the water!




Bringing back an injured warrior on a travois.

Middle shelf:


This little family is heading west in a covered wagon.


They stop at this small oasis to water the horses and fill their barrel and cantenes.


But they don't see the robbers lurking behind the rocks.... until the dog starts barking.


But here come the cavalry, looking for these escaped prisoners. Whew!

Top shelf:




Nothing too interesting, just the stage arriving in town. This shelf is very hard to reach! :lol:

bb: Very cool displays! Your Western sets look great on the shelves. And your beached whale with all the onlookers at the beach is really neat. Thanks for the photos, Pgal ;D

Wonderful displays. I've had a bounty hunter and a small cattle drive on my bedroom shelves for years now. Western is a great series.
We just watched 12:10 to Yuma recently - the more recent version. Excellent movie.

This is a great idea, Bonnie and you have done a beautiful job with the Western theme.  I can see why you are hooked!

What an excellent way of displaying Bonnie! Are they those shelves from Ikea? I must get some - display area is a real problem for me but these are great1

nice!

I have black shelves as well....the only problem is dust collects rather visibly, so picking up entire dioramas to dust, and then re-setting them....is a pain :(
