Glad you enjoyed them Damo!!! Isis says hi, although she is still a bit woozy from the haircut she had yesterday...we had to drag her to keep her still... poor little creature...

This is a bit confusing. Isis, although the name suggests otherwise, is not part of the fotostory. Who is Isis?

Thank you for a marvellous story, Panos - so much excitement, so much action and so well told.    :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

The layout of the sets and the floor went perfectly together, so you have no real need for sand (and I guess that the light reflected from the shiny floor helps with the photography).

I've never seen the Egyptian theme close-up before and the detail and quality of the printing is amazing.  I like the tomb raiders and their camels very much.  I remember that I had some of the metal Arabs made by Britain's, the makers of the best toy soldier in the UK for many years and they were a favourite of mine.  It would be good to see a desert Arab/Foreign Legion theme some day.

Thank you very much gordon for your positive comments!!! The floor did work better than I had imagined!!!

The Egyptians are an excelent theme!!! so many possibilities with them!! Both for playing and for customising!! and the colour so vivid!!! you should see the stickers that go inside the parts of the pyramid that represent hierogliphics and paintings of the Egyptian gods and pharaohs!!! Playmobil did a great job with them!!!!

The camels are also great!! I have to say that in this theme the boxes do their contents a great injustice!!!

I and the Roman fans on this board would love to see that! ;)

Also, I agree that your floor looks enough like sand to pass the muster test.

Epilogue-----

Before the ceremonies took place it was essential that the caretaker of the Giza Plateau be released!
The General, along with two of his officers, searched the house and they finally heard the caretaker's cry from the crypt in which he was imprisoned.
They quickly took him out...
and freed him off his bonds...




Whew !!!   

I feel like I can breathe again ... ...

Panos, please thank the general ...

Loved your exciting story and your wonderful photos ... ...
