Back ground is perfect!!!

Clever how you dealt with the facades by giving them some depth. I would never have thought of that. Opens up some more possibilities

[@MikesChristmasVillage]

Yes, it is now a bit more realistic, especially with the background. I have now made it into a kind of block / district.

Very good!👍

Awesome village. What a fabulous idea to put the fairy lights on the canal fences! I will try that next year. 😁

[@MikesChristmasVillage]

Thanks! ✨

Fascinated by your stairs - is the flat piece from the plaza set! Loads of great ideas here - I’m definitely going to look for pallets for my base next year.

[@MikesChristmasVillage]

Thank you! The flat piece is indeed from the Lemax Plaza System, which fits really well with the staircase.

😊 Love this! What do you use on the water to make it sparkle like that? Your work always inspires!

[@MikesChristmasVillage]

Thank you! I use small blue gravel together with snow.

[@d9u9tg]

Thank you! I love it! You inspired me to try my own hand at a canal this year!

This is beautiful! Where did you get that background picture from? I'm doing a Dickens Village this year and I want a London background for it.

[@MikesChristmasVillage]

Hello, the background is custom made. The dimensions therefore correspond exactly to the market stall in which the village is built. I printed it on foam board. There are several sites like Unsplash where you can download high-res images for free.

[@mstb2023]

@@MikesChristmasVillage Thanks so much! Your village looks like it's basically coming out of that picture! Fabulous!

Echt fantastisch gedaan, mag ik vragen waarom je alles vast plakt. Zo kan je het toch maar één keer gebruiken. Grote John

Ik doe er een klein druppeltje lijm onder zodat het niet omvalt. Achteraf is het met een mesje weer makkelijk te verwijderen. Zeker bij lantaarntjes en hekjes zou ik dit aanbevelen.
