Hello all fellow smurfs and smurfettes, Im putting out a help message if anyone can help me? As some of you are awear my lifes been taking a lot of turns for the worst recently and I am in need of somthing positive to think about and keep me smurfy and sain lol. I have got a plan to completly re think about my smurfland idea. Now that we are going to have to move im going to have to destroy my smurf land and frow away alot of it as i just dont know as and what room im going to have when we find somewere else to live. I may even have to get rid of my classic mini as might not have the room
Now what im thinking to keep me positive is what if I can use smaller smurfs as in AH Kinder egg sized smurf to re build a complete new village but smaller? Then im sure i would be able to fit more in and would solve many other past problems like the damp distroying things. As i would be able to use a proper clay as it would be on a smaller scale. I want to incorparate new things such as lights moving parts moving smurfs etc so anamate many of the parts to bring it all to life more. (I know big ideas and lack of funds) But somthing to keep me thinking good thoughts rather than worrying about other things. What I would like to know is is there any other smurf figures out there around the same size as the AH ones I could use? Also do anyone have any spare or broken small smurfies that i can use to make many of the other characters i need for the village? Anyways any help advice on other little smurfs or just to shair more ideas i could use please feel free to drop me a smurfy message as i always say its good too smurf!
smurfy regards
Steve

Steve,
there are lots of different mni smurfs.
Think of the French Ajena`si, the German Edeka`s, the Imps mini`s , the Swiss Zweiffel etc.
(I`ll show a picture of the Ajena`s)
I`m not that creative with idea`s for your village:-)

I do like them Lia but think there just a bit too small, ive decided to go with the AH sized smurfies as there not too small and not too big So i can still put a lot of extra detail in to the models.
Well i have made and almost finished smurfettes little house its all done apart from there is no lighting wired up in her house yet. I will probly do all that as and when im ready to start putting things all together.
Anyways here are a few pics hope you like?
(I like cute and small lol)
Smurfy regards
Steve.

Wow Steve! Looks great and very cute!
Now that we are going to have to move im going to have to destroy my smurf land and frow away alot of it
Sorry about your life not going as planned, hope it improves soon though.
That said, am wondering about your "destroy and trow away" part... why don't you sell it instead? Am sure that there's at least one smurf collector around here that would love to have those. That way you wouldn't lose it all, the money you got from it would help you and you would know that they would be loved and cherished somewhere
instead of ending in a dumpster. (and no, I'm not offering to buy, as I can't afford such luxury
).

well there isnt much worth selling really. Most of the buildings we given away when the damp started to efect them again. In the most part it will be the trees the ground river etc etc that will be frown away mostly. i will keep my castle and store house, feathers and Puppy for now. if anything it would be Puppy and feathers I would posably sell if anyone was interested?.
I of corse plan to re build them but smaller for my new smurf land as well as a smaller smurf castle and store house hehe.
Along with many other character, including :
yohan
peewit
gargamel
azreil
fafnir the dragon
the howly bird
homnibus
hogather
Big mouth
oh and what and who ever else i can think of lol. Being smaller there is so much more I can do with decent clay and fit more in depending on space lol
Smurfy regards

Im Using DAS Modeling clay. The clay that dosnt mind the damp infact there are a few little DAS models out in the garden and there holding up lol.
The DAS clay is a good clay that ive used many times in the past for a lot of smaller bits but as its quite xpensive for a small block i couldnt make the houses with it befor it would of cost a fortune.
But as im now making them a lot smaller I can use it yay!
Smurfy regards
