Now if only I could shrink up into a tiny little person and actually live there that would be fun LOL I love everything you've done on here early merry Christmas. Just subscribed to your channel I love the creation as you do. Keep up all the great work. I can't begin to imagine how much money you have invested in this beautiful beautiful display.
Thank you for doing this tutorial with an audio as a blind mum I find Diys With no dialogue useless. I can't wait to set up my first village my daughter will be so excited ex ex
This is gorgeous, love all the little details you have added it takes a lot of love and time i enjoy the video I also like it when you add trains ... thanks for sharing
wow,love it :) thanks for sharing this. I always thought about getting to this but it just look so hard to set up things. But you make it look easier then I thought it would be to do .
Department 56 Real Enjoyed watching the video here. And would be nice to find out were to apply to get itams to make up a snow village. Thank you for sharing this post.
The biggest takeaway i got from this is that it is silly to stress over trying to make the various items proportional in size in the strict sense. This is lovely, do-able and the proportions are not accurate. Very informative video!
Most people who build Christmas Villages just cram as many buildings as possible into any given space rather than setting up scenes like this - the hobby has turned into an annual race to show who has more money and bad taste - the more ostentatious the better!
I do like to load the table because I only have so much room. Every year the vilage does grow because I just need more. Where I live it is pretty crowded. So that is normal for me. My village has expanded a little every year in Square footage. And yet it looks just as full as the year before. A new video is in the works. Linsterville!
Pete, you and a few others, are the exceptions to the rule. You only have to troll through FB to see comments like "look what I bought for 1 cent in the dollar - aren't I clever!" with photos showing a mishmash of styles, shops, houses, winter, summer, North Pole. At the end of the day, unless there is a some "white space", like a punctuation mark, it becomes one homogenous glob! More is seldom better ! I know I will get lambasted for my comment, but facts are facts.
I agree . My village is very thought out , each building or home has a story. Sometimes less is more . When friends and family see my village they say"I want to live there". Villages need to pull you in not overwhelmed you.
Can you please answer for me, a question that has bothered me for so many years? These collections are expensive. WHY does Dept. 56, and others similar, not pay better attention to proper SCALE??? The people are always taller than the doors into their buildings and vehicles. Same with the animals. A bunny or squirrel can be just as large as the children playing beside it. This has never made sense to me.
Many collectors ask about the scale of the accessories in relation to the size of the buildings. If you think of looking at the display like looking at a photograph where the figures in the foreground are larger than the buildings in the background, you can get an idea of what our creative team sees when they are designing the figures. This size also allows for much more detail that you would not see on a scale appropriate figurine. Thanks for your question.
In display work humans are usually oversized compared to the buildings to allow for better detail. If they are made to scale they are too small (and a choking hazard) and if you sized up the buildings they get too heavy and large to make even a small village.
This is so beautiful. I love Christmas village 🎄
Same
to add some life into the Village Include a train and streetcar transit system

What is the 2nd hand tool he used to cut the foam?
My Family is from Stillwater, OK and would like to know more about the "Streets of Stillwater".
thanks for the nice video
Beautiful. The only thing I would change is the people. They need to be smaller than the house doors.
Where is your store? I had a big village but 3 years ago, I sold everything but I REGRET. Do you still sell everything I need?

How hard would it be to build a heated foam cutter gizmo?
Great Job!
What are the flashing lights in the background on the wall. Great display. ☃️❄️☃️

Well if anybody can comment it is you UV. Your scenes are awesome in style and design.
Thanks Pete, I knew you would understand my point! Have a great 2017, buddy!

those figurines are much too large for this set-up as that man almost is the height of the roof

Idgarad Lyracant and also they are made to look like a photograph. Because in Photographs, the people are bigger than the buildings behind them.
“60 minutes maybe and hour”
☺️ stop it☺️
