New Figures For The New Year
I know it's a bit late but happy new year to all my visitors.
I've had a hectic Christmas again, so much for putting my feet up for a bit! While the weather here is not so good I've taken the opportunity to do a few figures and vehicles before starting on this years big projects.
Some of these will be on the emporium at the weekend.
As it's the first post of the year I'll do my usual of making a listing of things I'd like to do this year. If you've ever read my other new year posts you'll notice I'm lucky if I manage to get half of what I'd planned done!
So this years list is going to be a bit shorter. In no particular order:
Finish my Death Star - it's been half built for about 6 months now stuck on a cupboard!
Build and design my seasonal Palaces, like the Snow Queens Palace I want to do one for each season that can stand separately or connect together.
Disney Land Hotel - I've been asked if it's possible to build one based on the Paris hotel and even if I don't make it I'd like to finish off the 3D design I've started.
Blackthorne Manor - This will be my largest house to date bigger than Houghton Hall, 15 windows across by 3 floors high, 3 balconies, colonnade front. I plan to start this in the next few months soon as I've managed to get hold of the basic parts.
Natural History Museum - a 3D design I'd like to finish, that one day I'll build when I have the space :)
Neuschwanstein Castle - this will be a 3D design only as I can't resit building the fairy tale castle.
That's the plan for the year fingers crossed I'll get some of it done.

Commissions & Houses For Sale
It's that time of year again when everyone is looking for something special. I always get requests in the last couple of weeks and even days before Christmas for items from my blog. Although this is great to be in demand I have to disappoint a lot of visitors because I don't have many things for sale.
I do go to work for a living and Playmobil is one of several a hobbies I do in my spare time, which I know will come as a surprise to some people. With all the best will in the world my creations can take quite a lot of time to do and I can't make things as fast as I'm asked. Even a small creation like a decorated room set can take a week to make and that's if I have all the parts I would need. Normally I would say I need a week or two just to get the parts ordered and delivered and a week to paint and decorate it.
As you can guess to do even a small house can take at least a month to make if it's a simple job, usually two months, and some thing large normally four months. I don't keep vast amounts of Playmobil tucked away somewhere - although I wish I could :) - I just order things as I need them.
Most of my work is commissions and I'm always happy to build something on request whether it's a repeat of an older design or something totally new. But this is on a first come first served basis. If your interested in something for a certain day eg Christmas or birthdays please ask well in advance so I will have time to build your creation.
I get a lot of visitors who looking through my blog at past work ask to buy a certain item then and there, thinking that I must still own it. I'm glad to say from my point of view that every thing you see on my blog has already sold. Some items will sell from just a preview others as soon as I show the completed item even before I've decided to sell it. Anything I do have for sale is listed on my Emporium blog.
So if you are interested in buying some thing please feel free to ask but order in advance and I hope you will understand if something isn't currently available. :)
