Some of my Favorite Things
United States
Приєднався 22 лип 2019
I am a collector/displayer of Department 56 miniature villages. In my case, I collect the "Christmas In The City" series. Although I do not collect as much anymore, I do continue to display the collection that I now have. Even though displays are built all through the year now, these miniature villages used to be setup during the Christmas season. I continue to follow the original idea, and setup my miniature villages during Christmas time; and to a much lesser extent during the year...if I want to showcase a particular building by itself, or a few of them together; and if I want to move away from snowy displays for a change.
Other hobbies such as gardening, landscaping; and certain arts & crafts are also some of my favorite things. This is the content that you will find on this channel. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by, and I hope that you enjoy your visit.

Christmas in the City: "How To" Preview #christmasinthecity #miniature #howto #department56
Christmas in the City: Preview of “how-to” to come.
IMPORTANT Information:
1-Please be sure that you change the setting on UA-cam to HD. Otherwise, chances are that the video will play at a lower resolution.
Preview to upcoming how-to information. I am presently working on “stuff” for the upcoming holiday season. As soon as that is done, I will share information on how I created the World Trade Center Tower, the Sphere, the Reflecting Pools, and how I added lights to inexpensive model cars. I do have rather expensive vehicles from die-cast direct, but I rather work with the less expensive cars; which, by the way, start looking pretty smart after the addition of front and back lights.
Soon I will start taking down my present display and start working on a new scene. This opens up the opportunity for creating new display features from scratch, and also the opportunity for more how-to information.

Make sure that you are viewing this file in HD. This video (slideshow) is an offshoot of a much larger set of landscaping (Landscaping Saga Files) videos I will be uploading in the near future. I purchased my present property in 2019. I came into this purchase knowing that I was going to tackle the landscaping of the property by myself…going solo, if you will. Well, I kept a landscaping journal...

Make sure to change the Settings to watch in HD (1080p). THE IDEA behind the slideshow and the video: (This idea is more prominent on the video, but the slideshow has some of it, as well. I have not uploaded the video yet.)

Make sure to change the Settings to watch in HD (1080p). The Spring Vignette: Revisited. In my effort to re-populate this new UA-cam channel, I am uploading photos of old displays previously posted when current. This particular vignette is from the spring of 2007. I tried searching for the full sized images of this vignette, but I fear that those were store in an external drive that has stopped...

Make sure to change the Settings to watch in HD (1080p). This is just one of the elements of my current display. If you watched my previous video on building the display tables, you know that I have two tables. There is a space between the two tables. This represents the East River which separates Manhattan from Brooklyn/Queens. The Statue of Liberty is one of the Department 56 pieces that will...

Make sure to change the Settings to watch in HD (1080p). This is a work in progress. As you will see on this video, I started the setup for the 2022-2023 Christmas in the City display in November 2022. I am still working on this display at the moment, and we are now in May, 2023 already. As I told some friends, this is going to end up being Christmas in July type of a thing. Anyway, here I am s...

Make sure to change the Settings to watch in HD (1080p). Another Department 56 display. I am calling this a "vignette" and not a full-blown display because the amount of lighted miniature houses is minimal. I would bet that other Department 56 collectors out there would call this a full display...and they are probably right. I shall compromise by saying that this is borderline full display/vign...

Make sure to change the Settings to watch in HD (1080p). This miniature apartment build was meant to be used as a cinematography prop. I will use it to film and photograph my current Department 56 display through the "apartment" windows. The inspiration for the miniature apartment came from photos of several of the apartments atop the Woolworth Tower in New York City. I took some artistic liber...
