Hello visitors and fellow Playmobil fans, I just wanted to let you know what I'm up to at the moment.
Currently I'm working on a second Grey Mansion and another Regents Street row of shops. Here's some pictures of a few of the room sets I'm working on.
I've also made a start on a 5302 which will become another Bistro although I'm planning to add an extra floor or two to it.
I'm just finishing off a small market scene and a decorated windmill. Photos of both in the next few weeks.
After all that my next big project will be a fairy scene. Playmobil will be bringing out a new range of fairies and unicorns etc and I'll be creating a large set up with their own tree houses. So that's my plan for the next couple of months unless I get anymore requests.
I've justed finished a yellow kitchen furniture set, so now all my sets are available over on the
Emporium page.

Hi every one I just wanted to let you know that the official Playmobil Collectors Club is now up and running. Visit
http://pcc.pm/ to join up. There's a forum, blog, gallery and special members section. It looks a great site and of course you'll find me there!
This is my latest Spanish ship the Santa Cruz. I went for green for a change and added a small rail around the back. Visit the Santa Cruz page to see more pictures.
Here's the rest of the pictures of my latest Mansion. As always follow the link to see more photos at the
Grey Mansion Page.
A slightly different style than the normal 5300 I've also added a nice conservatory, car and a painted fence to match. If anyone is interested in owning this great house I will have it up for sale shortly.

Gothic Mansion
I've just been asked when I'm going to update the Gothic Mansion progress. So far it's sat under my staircase 80% finished. It's furnished but I need to do a few bits of wallpapering and a small job on the roof. I'm also wondering if I should put lights in it or not. I had to stop work on it for a quite a bit, while I finished of more important projects. I will return to it soon I might have pictures by the end of July.
Grey Mansion
I spent today wallpapering and taking pictures of my new grey mansion. Unfortunately I've managed to delete the pictures I took outside so I need another sunny day to take more but here's a picture of the back. The mansion is fully furnished and I've added a separate conservatory, painted car and a fence ( not shown ). I will create it's own page on the Mansions blog soon and a link.
Red House Diary
I bought a couple of red mansions last year and my plan is to decorate them including lighting, real flooring etc. I thought I'd share my progress as a diary page. It's something that will probably take a year or so to do but I thought visitors might find it interesting as I had a lot of good feedback when I did a similar one for Houghton Hall.
Wallpaper Sets
If you've had a chance to look at any of my buildings you'll see they are all decorated with wallpapers and flooring. What you might not realise is I design all the wallpapers myself from freely available images from the web. Creating patterns, adding boarders pictures etc, then shrinking them all down to the correct scale and printing them myself. I've designed custom wallpaper and flooring sets for several people before now and I'm hoping to set up a page with designs on for sale. So if anyone has the original 5300 Victorian Mansion and would like to change the interiors you can do. It will be a limited range to start while I get things set up and I see how much interest I get.
