Christmas Village Displays - with Lemax houses, Department 56 models, trees, snowmen and figurines 

+Paula DeeDee Thanks very much. Yes, I kind of agree with you about the fairgrounds!

Have a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS. .!!!

Thanks so much!!!

You're right, it's great to have this at home. I have made recordings of a Christmas village in a garden center 🙄😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mphpyvywxJk.html

Peahead Peahead Inc. I just put up my village, I ‘d love for you to check it out :)

Kunal Anvade I just put up my village, I ‘d love for you to check it out :)

Dano Art Sadly not, just for a few weeks at Christmas. It's different every year!

Thanks. The Ice Skating Pond is from Lemax and is around £70 online. Well worth considering, as it makes such an impact with its numerous moving skaters on magnets. More info here: www.christmas-village-displays.com/christmas_moving_pieces.html

+Martin Treasure Hi Martin! I would like to create a stand just like this one to display my Christmas Village this year and I was wondering if you can share with me the height, width, and length of the two tiers utilized on this video. Also, do you happen to know a website that sales "MY VILLAGE" mountain bases, that will also deliver to the U.S? Thank you in advance for your time... :)

+Lymari Lopez Hi Lymari, Thanks for your email. The stand was a large 10ft-long dining room table and I extended the width to around 6ft, as I wanted to leave plenty of room for pathways and the green park at the front. If you don't make the tiers wide enough, it is difficult to create the detailed scenes with the people and other miniatures, which to me is the best bit! The tallest tier at the back was made with wooden boxes that were around 14 inches high, with the mountains adding extra height on top. I hope that this helps. Re. the My Village mountains, although they look really good, they are ridiculously expensive (GBP45 each) and incredibly flismy as the plastic is so thin, although they are very good shapes and really useful realistic elements, to add height. Therefore, I'm not sure how well they would travel to the US. You might be better off making your own using chicken wire and modroc plaster. However, check out the resources page on my website: christmas-village-displays.com/ . Webbs Garden Centre, Longacres, Millrace or Swallows might be worth contacting. If they can't help, they might be able to recommend someone. If you want to try something on a slightly smaller scale, I have some nice printable cardboard houses on the website: christmas-village-displays.com/christmas_printable_houses.html . This is a longer, narrower display that I did (top link in the description above): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_uHreZVXf7M.html Please let me know how you get on!

+Martin Treasure Thanks for the information Martin... I wish I could make my own as you suggested, but I am definitely not talented that way :)

+Lymari Lopez Hi again, trying taping some cardboard boxes together (different heights) for the platforms and then draping plaster bandage over them. Paint the sides grey and sprinkle a bit of green powder on the paint, and the flat parts white for snow. I'm sure it would look pretty good, but most of it would be covered by the buildings and trees anyway. I've made things like that before and they are really much easier than you'd think. If you email me through my website, I'll send you some photos and instructions if you like: www.christmas-village-displays.com/ (contact us at bottom).

+Martin Treasure You are the BEST!! Thank you kindly for your help... :)

You have a good memory, lol. Copyright issues, can't even remember what it was, lol. Thanks for the comment!!!

+Joe Hylands It's background music from the RU-vid library, called '89Ford Christmas'. Hope that helps.

Approx 3m x 1.5. Hope you liked it!

@Martin Treasure . I loved it!! Congratulations on your beautiful talent. Thank you for replying. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

Thanks for your comment! Some of the flowers were made using Fimo, others were made from old plastic fish tank plants and some were purchased from a Dolls House shop. More info here: www.christmas-village-displays.com/

Martin Treasure thanksso much for that I would never have thought of it I am good at copying but not very inventive lol..

Martin Treasure do you know what scale the vehicles are in depart 56 i am collecting from Australia and we dont have villages over here so everything i buy has to come from USA..which is a major pain as everything has to run through a stepdown transformer..I thought i could save a heap of money and just use toy cars.

geri G From what I have seen, the scale of Department 56 and Lemax buildings does vary a little. Most people tend to use model figurines and cars that are slightly larger than the scale of the houses, so that the details stand out more. It is funny, but when they are exactly the same scale as the houses, they often don't look quite right! I think that toy cars would be the perfect solution and hopefully save you some money. Are you setting up a Christmas village in January then?! :) Please send me some photos of your finished creation!

No, I don't sell them, but if you look at my website: www.christmas-village-displays.com/ - you will find out how to make lots of the accessories. The resources page contains a comprehensive list of stockists for Lemax and Department 56 buildings, many of which will soon be having a sale! Hope that is helpful.

+benedict santiago You need and lot of time and patience, and it is good to plan ahead. Check out my website for ideas: www.christmas-village-displays.com/
