We decided to make a christmas village this year to go with the home decorations for this holiday season and the family turned to me to lead in making it. So, we took out our small collection of Christmas village buildings and proceeded to make a diorama that depicted the main avenue of the village, a frozen pond and a large tree display. Unfortunately, we only had a small number of figures until we realized that this would be the perfect time to use my mother-in-law's collection of penguin figurines. Thus was born our Penguin Christmas Village! Here are some WIP pictures.
The pond will feature a snow globe centerpiece, park benches and cotton candy.
The frozen pond was made from glitter glue gel and left to dry overnight.
The houses are being wired for lights and small vignettes are being made to be scattered around.
Here's the main avenue. I'm trying to figure out a way to l;ight the streetlamps. How would the carollers get about if they dont have street lights?
The centerpiece is a huge christmas tree. A choir and an orchestra will be performing here soon:)
And here are the townsfolk! A small portion of my mother-in-law's penguin collection.
Inevitably, some of my warhammer elves check out the ruckus the penguins are making...
Ah, the joys of being a miniature wargamer:)
