To wrap up the year, I built a scale model town after a fresh snow. It was inspired by a painting by Norman Rockwell. Merry Christmas, everyone! Thanks for a great year of crafting.
My friend @9-Times kindly bought me @JerryRigEverything's knife for Christmas. It's great!
Most of my scale model foliage is from Diorama Presepe. You can visit their online store for more craft ideas here: www.dioramapresepe.com/en/

I have to admit your Wild West models are my favorite. And knowing that I'm a strangers may come across strange. But if you decide to do one with a prospector. I'll be willing to send you a small packet of actual real gold to put into your model. Let me know what you prefer. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Merry Christmas, fish. Thank you for sharing your art with us this year. Here’s to another. I’ve learned so much and have been diving headfirst into terrain dioramas. I can’t get enough.… I’ve always been super interested in scratch building model making, but never took the leap. For example, I’ve been a fan of Adam Savage for a few decades now, as well as many other makers of the same ilk. And yet? It was your videos that got me so excited that I simply couldn’t avoid the hobby any longer. Thank you… and again, Merry Christmas.

I've saved this video to my Favorites file. I'm of an age (nearing 70) where I'm downsizing, which includes buying my first artificial tree; it's all of 2ft tall and occupies the top of my treadle sewing machine in my studio apartment window. The wire tree comes pre-lit and I've festooned it with 1in diameter glass ornaments, 2.4in glass icicles, a hand-strung popcorn garland, and a yellow cardstock 5-pointed star at its top. Your video pointed out to me how easy it would be to make a little Christmas Village to circle the base of the tree. I have a background that includes cabinetmaking, electronics, and architectural modelmaking, so doing this should not be difficult for me. Who knows; maybe it will open a whole new side business for myself...
