Last hurrah of winter, goblin carolers, reindeer, and Santa

[InvisibleThumb]

Better late than never.  I started these 3 months ago and finished them about 1 month ago.  Finally have a halfway decent photo area again, so I can post pictures!

 

Over winter break, my elder digit and I spent an afternoon playing with some plastic tree armatures from the train store.  You have to glue your own flock on to make the leaves, etc.  I wanted to make a cluster so I carved some foam into the shape of a little hill and painted white.  The trees were not strong enough to punch through the foam though, so I ended up using the glue gun to get them to stay in.  More recently we tested out a mini string of led lights and tried trimming the tiny trees.  Did not work out great - I lost a lot of foliage in the process and the lights are spaced out too far for the scale - there’s wire all over the place.  Oh well, I had to use it after all that work, so it is the background for this jolly crowd.

You're well on your way to next year's Christmas village set up...

That is really cool, I love the goblins in their winter coats, they look very jovial!

Spot on!  I’m not 3 months behind. I’m 9 months ahead!  

 

Thanks for the kind words folks.  Here’s a bonus pic of something I sculpted today to fit the theme.  Couldn’t fit it into my photo set up though.

Great work on both painting the smaller ones and sculpting the larger one!
