Chester Row

I have good weather here for the last few days which has let me take a few pictures. Chester Row is finished and I've created a new page for it here on the blog. Chester Row is based on the Tudor shops of Eastgate and Bridge Streets in the English town of Chester. A wonderful city to visit full of ancient history from the Roman walled city to Medieval buildings. Here is my version of these shops. For more pictures please visit the Chester...

Not Enough Time

If you've had a chance to look around my ever growing blog sites you can tell I love Playmobil. Building , decorating and dressing up the figures. I just love to create new things and I've found Playmobil such a wonderful and versatile toy. When I was a child I had Lego! I loved Lego I loved it that much I desperately wanted to move onto Meccano so I could make things that moved and to make bigger buildings. It was not meant to be. As I grew up I discovered computers ahhh the ZX Spectrum...... and that was the end of my building phase....

Victorian Carriages

A couple of months ago a friend asked me if I could customise a carriage for him, unfortunately at the time I didn't have any I could use.This past month I've managed to get hold of one. I did the conversion as you've seen with the Ripper figures. It came out so well and I enjoyed doing it  as a change from the buildings I was working on. I got the bug and ended up buying several more so I now have a fleet of carriages! I can't decided which...

New Figures

I've been away for the weekend and while rushing about I stopped off at a Dolls House Fair. It was packed out and I spent several hours and lots of money on some new bits and pieces for my upcoming projects. There were some wonderful dolls houses there I'd loved to have had a couple but they were so expensive! Beautiful craftsmanship and they've given me an idea for another Tudor style building. I'm working on a row of shops, a tower and a Victorian...

Harrods Is Finished

Well here are the pictures of Harrods at last and I've had a lot of trouble trying to take them. The weather is turning here and I've had to dodge showers to try and take photos over the last few days. As I've said I got the idea to create Harrods from the colour scheme I used on Claridges which turned out so nice I just had to expand the building. Adding a food hall and a ladies and gentleman's department to the original restaurant I've created...
