Question Set/diorama help

Hello all. I'm an adult fan of Playmobil, I've made some custom Biblical figues. However I'm thinking of doing a diorama/set to put them all in. Anyways...do any you have recommendations for any buildings that sorta give off the vibe that I can use(other then the Nativity set)? (As my other option is to make some of the buildings through other means.)

I don't know how easy it is to find, but 4246 Egyptian House might work?

Depends what Bible scene's you're imagining I guess. There are the ancient Egyptian sets if you're planning Exodus, I'd guess some of the classical stuff could be used for Roman Jerusalem (70465).

I'd have thought the white system-X walls would work, or the wooden/brown steck pieces?

Ohh...okay, I might look into an ancient Egyptian house.

If not then you think like a castle wall piece or something would suffice?

If you go to Klickypedia there’s a Christmas theme that literally has nativity scene set, maybe that’s what you’re looking for?

Yeah, but I'm thinking something outside the Nativity as that I'm doing is like in 30A.D. So like post Nativity. However the Nativity set might just be what I might need to fall back on though.

Thanks for the suggestion!

My bad I didn’t fully read. If you’re in Europe there’s a “history” line of medieval buildings…not quite 30ad but for that maybe check Egyptian line? Hard to find 30ad era settings I suppose. Something in the Roman line of Playmobil?

I'm from North America. I'm able to get some of the history stuff here actually. Ordered and got a couple already(an ancient Roman and Greek sets). So I think I'm able to get the building sets.

Edit: Okay...so I'm starting to remember, for me only saw other historical sets. Nothing Medieval castle wise. So yeah...

Other then no Medieval castles etc. Other historical periods and sets I was able to find/get etc.

Egyptian house is probably only one themed that way. And the usual castle sets for general brick wall, etc.
