<br />
First of all and of greatest interest to most of you, my latest project the Disney Hotel is almost finished and I will have lots of photos up next month. This is a system X building and one of the largest ones I've built so far so I hope you enjoy looking at it :) I've not given up building Playmobil things yet!<br />
<br />
Secondly and most importantly to me I'd like to explain a few things about my work. I regularly get asked to build houses or make carriages and some people are surprised at the costs. I'm not trying to rip people off or charge stupid prices for things but I don't think a lot of people realise the rising costs of parts and materials involved so I thought I'd explain a little of whats involved in a couple of different projects.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbuZnKBd_S789Eb58NrI2LikPuAmb1Byi7BDORBpS3MyDYdDfXLfSSYBW0kkcE8i_9r0fYbKTfonAyn1PS4wQ3Tu4MQ82mxv2XDeOg6OL_Y7tpf8aCvQpWuNHnHXd9oV1YdkF_zYthOX0T/s1600/2-SDC13429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbuZnKBd_S789Eb58NrI2LikPuAmb1Byi7BDORBpS3MyDYdDfXLfSSYBW0kkcE8i_9r0fYbKTfonAyn1PS4wQ3Tu4MQ82mxv2XDeOg6OL_Y7tpf8aCvQpWuNHnHXd9oV1YdkF_zYthOX0T/s1600/2-SDC13429.JPG" height="271" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This is the Victorian horse drawn bus I've only built 2 so far yet it is one of my most asked for vehicles, in fact I was asked for one today which is what has set this blog post off. If Playmobil made a carriage like this I guess they would be able to do it for around £35 based on the large princess carriage being £22 and I, like you would say that was a reasonable price. But for me it costs a lot more, I went on ebay today where I get most of my discontinued Playmobil to price up the parts. Keep in mind nearly everything I build if it's Victorian is from rare discontinued parts that haven't been made for about 10 years.<br />
<br />
So this bus is made from a train carriage, a stage coach and an aeroplane! The only train carriage on there was £40, plus a carriage for the base about £15, plus the seating if I could get it as spares maybe another £10. So that's £65 without me doing a thing. Now add to that the costs of paint, glue, figures, material etc and your getting close to a £100, never mind the time it takes for me to build and paint all this. This is why I've only ever done 2 of these. I had managed to get the parts before really cheap with other items, because to me £100+ is too much to pay for a bus, I wouldn't pay it and I wouldn't ask anyone else to either. But this shows how much even a simple item can cost.<br />
<br />
Now think on how much Victorian house parts are, a second hand wall is about £6-8 not including shipping it soon adds up! Most secondhand houses have parts missing and as it's always the same parts gone, those replacements have risen with the demand, e.g. £2 for a railing post, £1.50 for a base clip. The average price of basic furniture sets has almost doubled in price recently.<br />
<br />
So why not build things from new modern parts your wondering, if it's still available then it's got to be cheaper right? Not always I wish it was.<br />
<br />

This is the arched doorway from the new 5142 Palace, I've just changed the doors on it to those from the farm. Nice isn't it ? I've used these on my Disney hotel and they look great but because no one sells these as second hand spares I had to get them directly from Playmobil at £10 for that doorway wall it's cost me £60 just for the 6 main doors I've put into that building alone. Disney is 2m long 3 floors tall and has 46 windows to give you an idea of size and it's taken 5 months to design and build, when you see the finished building you can have a better guess at the costs involved in making such a large item.<br />
<br />
Now I've just mentioned how long it's taken to make the Hotel because that's the other major thing involved with my work and that's the time taken to do it. I haven't got a little factory here or expensive machinery, it's just me with a hand saw, some clippers and paint brushes basically. Everything is hand cut and painted. This all takes time, a lot of time if it's a house, even small things like a customised figure can take several hours to do. I work and have a family and have other interests so making a figure can use up my evening.<br />
<br />
The first time I make something it's usually because I fancy trying it out. I build it for me, for the enjoyment of creating something new, trying out a new design, seeing if my ideas will work. I don't care how long it takes to build, if I realise part way through the design doesn't work and I have to start again, I don't mind. When at the end I've built it and decide to part with it so I can start something new I don't really factor in all the time taken. If I was to charge for the time spent building I'd hate to think of real cost of a house!!! Think of the Disney hotel at 5 months to build, on average that's 15 to 20 hrs a week some times more, that's 400hrs at least. WOW until now I didn't think about how much time I've spent on that project alone. Maybe I should start charging by the hour :)<br />
<br />
So you see when you ask about how much a house is to buy I can't compete with a company like Playmobil, I don't mass produce to keep the costs down like them, every piece is an individual hand crafted item and I think fairly priced based on the current costs and labour involved to produce.<br />
<br />
I hope having read this little explanation you can all get a bit of a better idea as to what goes into my work no matter what the size or shape. Thanks for reading this and I hope you will all continue to enjoy my creations, best wishes to all :) <br />

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.<br />
<br />
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 <b>my creations can take quite a lot of time to do</b> 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. <br />
<br />
As you can guess to do even <b>a small house can take at least a month to make</b> 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.<br />
<br />
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. <b>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.</b><br />
<br />
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 <b>every thing you see on my blog has already sold</b>. 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.<b> Anything I do have for sale is listed on my <a href="http://emmajemporium.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Emporium blog.</a></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">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. :)</span>Emma.Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03944580670609809360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995702047990928911.post-24125244952477840222013-10-01T10:58:00.001-07:002013-10-01T10:58:50.775-07:00Collection ClearoutThe time has come to clear out some of my ever expanding Playmobil
collection. I have some large projects on the go and I really need the
space. It's a hard decision to have to make but I've got to narrow down
the themes I collect, I can't keep adding to it as my walls aren't made
of rubber :)<br />
<br />
So over the next few weeks I'll be sorting
out some sets, putting them for sale on here and reducing the price of
the items I already have on sale.

This is a little preview of my current work - a chocolate shop. This has been my most requested building so as I had some chocolates already made from earlier this year I thought I'd better get one made :)Emma.Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03944580670609809360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995702047990928911.post-57784830064599219692013-01-17T07:14:00.001-08:002013-01-17T07:14:10.474-08:00Current ProjectsHello visitors and fellow Playmobil fans, I just wanted to let you know what I'm up to at the moment.<br />
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.<br />

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.<br />

I'm just finishing off a small market scene and a decorated windmill. Photos of both in the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
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.Emma.Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03944580670609809360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995702047990928911.post-49720743039367202742012-12-16T12:06:00.002-08:002012-12-16T12:06:53.895-08:00Regent Street & MarketI wanted to do a different type of shop building using some spare flooring and came up with the idea for a row of shops altogether like a genuine Victorian street. Often built at different times these buildings can vary in style and shape so I decided to make mine various heights and all with different shop fronts. This became Regents Street. I would have liked a raised pavement in front of the building with people strolling along. I built a second base which could be pushed up to the shop fronts and added a traditional market to it.<br />

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.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<u>Grey Mansion</u><br />
<br />
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.<br />

<u>Red House Diary</u><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<u>Wallpaper Sets</u><br />
<br />
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.Emma.Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03944580670609809360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995702047990928911.post-81027691913082987152012-06-11T15:03:00.001-07:002012-06-11T15:03:33.983-07:00Finished At LastHello everyone! If you 've been a regular visitor you might have noticed that I've not been very busy this year on my blog, as you're about to see this is because I have just finished my largest ever project that's taken 5 months to build and a week of packing!. I'd like to say it's something new but instead it's an old favourite Houghton Hall. Not one but three!!!<br />
<br />
I'd been asked last Christmas if I could build a couple but that fell through and in the mean time I asked a couple of friends if they wanted one and they said yes, then another person asked and I ended up building three. In some ways it was easier to build three together but I've not had a living room for months now. I've enjoyed doing it but it was such a huge job that I wont try that again. It's just a really complicated build. But here's a picture of my finished buildings.<br />

I wanted to do something similar to the highly popular Chocolate shop so I created a Victorian tearoom. Tearooms became very popular in the Victorian era as it was a place that the ladies could visit without needing a chaperon. J. Lyons and Co. were one of the leading chains of Tearooms throughout Britain.</div>

Although I did create a page for it I'm only just getting around to mentioning it here on my main blog.<br />
<br />
Like the Cluedo house the Red Mansion actually closes up, which I 've always loved being able to shut it up and keep my cats out of it when I'm not using it. I've also included a working piano in this version.<br />
<br />
So if you like these pictures I hope you'll visit the <a href="http://emmajvictorianhouses.blogspot.co.uk/p/red-mansion.html" target="_blank">Red Mansion</a> page to see more. this mansion is also currently for sale.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well I might have been a bit quiet here on the blog but I can promise it's been nonstop here at home. I'm in the middle of several large mansion I've had commissions for, that have taken over my living room. At the same time I'm trying to do other work here and there and I keep losing things! I've finished a Chocolate shop and I'm hoping to take pictures today of it as I've only just got new shelves. The whole thing has been complete for the last few week all I had to do was put the trays of chocolates on the shelves, but I lost them! I still don't know where they've gone. It's one of those things that when I don't need them they'll turn up - typical.</span></div>
<div style="color: #6aa84f;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">In the meantime I have finished a second Claridges for Raul, I hope Maria who first suggested the idea likes it although she's already said it wont be as good as the original I built for her! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">I've added extra photos to the Restaurant page as well if you'd like a closer look at the newer one. As you can see they're very similar but because everything is hand painted and decorated using currently available parts no two of my building will ever be exactly the same.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well I've been indulging myself over the last few days with dreams of fine chocolates! I've just finished work on my two chocolate shops and the last job was to make all the individual chocolates. so of course I've had to eat a few for inspiration! If you'd like to visit a great chocolate shop for real I would highly recommend <a href="http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hotel Chocolate</a> great stuff a bit expensive but very nice. So having browsed through their pages and my mouth watering at the goodies I made a few of my own.</span></div>

Like the wine merchants I wanted an open floor so you could see the jewelry displays better. They're not finished yet but this will give you all an idea of what I'm working on at the moment.<br />
I decided to to two different coloured interior just for a change. <br />
