Thanks, Tim, for that look behind the scenes which was very informative and helpful.

The ice queen is excellent, the old crown and sceptre in silver being just the final touch of detail.  The ice palace detail is excellent too and a great improvement on the original.  Maybe Playmobil should take note.

On a photographic point, what lighting set up did you use, please?

Thanks for sharing the photos ! The spray paint work looks really great

Yes, the crate is the one Playmofire posted.
For lighting I used the room lights that are flourescent combined with a 500 watt halogen torchier floor lamp set next to the display to bounce light off the ceiling. Adjustments were made in Photoshop Elements using the Levels window.

¿And those two are the size of a clicky? It’s VERY important to get it right the first time for this project…

I can verify that the blue one down below it with the identical description is about the size of a klicky. Don't know about the yellow one for sure, but I would think it's the same size.
