I've watched your videos multiple times. I noticed that on another video you mentioned that you painted the building to create your NY cityscape. I was wondering what paint you used on your "Under the Boomershoot", since I noticed that you have a a number of the figurine but with different colored umbrellas. I'm assuming you painted them?
@danadoan9 ай бұрын
Thank you so much. Yes I have painted my pieces when I need to. However, this particular piece is available in different colored umbrellas. Those with colorful umbrellas were special event pieces called ‘Under the NCC umbrella.’ There’s 5 available (yellow, green, red, blue and white). If you want to paint the umbrella yourself, any acrylic paint will work.

@danadoan10 ай бұрын
Thank you very much for your kind words. It’s a labor of love for sure. All these pieces are department 56. If I think correctly, the chocolate stand you referred to is called ‘Dickens Village, sidewalk sweets’. It was a special limited edition 2016 mid year release. The coordinating house is called ‘Christmas Sweet’. At the time, I got it from one of the retailers. I have not seen the accessory available on secondary market. I have seen the house awhile back. I’ll keep an eye out for you.

THIS is what a christmas display has to be! No Bling Bling lights, no flying Santa. Just a landscape that really could have been existed. In a time period which really was. It's an european display, I like these so much more than the most of the KZbin presented from USA. Watch my little one...😉... And I see a lot of figurines here, I didn't know yet. Thanks for showing. At this time the best diorama I've seen this season.👍 Supplementle: I've seen you are from NY. So sorry, if I hurt you because I wrote something about american displays. It's Not personal, it's in generell. And you proves it: There are exceptions....
@danadoan10 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for your kind words. I don’t like blinging lights or flying Santa either. And I usually don’t mix different village collections (scale difference and different period clothing). For this Victorian London display, I only wanted to use pieces from Dickens Village collection. It eliminated the headache of making sure if that certain piece would belong or not. Haha don’t worry about your American comment. I usually like the European displays more with more emphasis on landscaping. (I wish I can do the same). Happy Christmas to you and your family. Cheers!!

Thank you Doug. I really enjoyed putting the display every year (couldn’t do them the last 2 years). I have done a few versions of Dickens displays. But This was the first London display that I’ve done. I wanted to keep it authentic to the city with the landmark buildings relatively geographically correct. I would have loved to have been able to create River Thames and London Bridge, but space didn’t allow me to have those. Happy Christmas to you and your family!!!!
