and saw dust and mix with water until you have a creamy liquid. You will need paper napkins. Place a paper napkin on any area you want to plaster and dab with a small paint brush. Cover all the crib in this way. When dried it will give you a good hard finish. Paint to your liking however do not use dark colours
Hi Daryl thanks for your comments. You certainly need to get some sheep and one or two sheperds. Yes a woman washing clothes or a statue holding a bucket next to the water fountain..a shop keeper and a Baker for the Bakery...three wise men are important...the rest I leave to your imagination...every character is nice to have...in Malta for example we have a figure looking downwards from the top of the nativity cave which I have not included in this crib...hope this is useful information to you
For the benefit of those looking through this clip and wanting to construct a Christmas Crib. Basically the crib is made out of jablo pieces fixed together with pva glue and toothpicks and formed by hand to any shape required. The building is done by cutting small blocks of jablo in the form of small bricks and building as we did with lego blocks. After having finished the shaping of the Jablo for rock and the building preapre a mixture of PVA glue, plaster powder (english plaster)

Marco, estupendo trabajo, además me gustaría que me aclararas si pusiste dos turbinas para el agua, es decir una para la fuente y otra para el río, agradezco tu ayuda, gracias
hey hi marco, I really loved your design of this christmas crib and would like to congragulate you for that. I have started making crib for this year I need your hlp on how to put extra statues apart from the nativity statues. Could you please help me, it would be great from your side like the shopkeeper or lady carrying water etc.
First of all want to congratulate you for your good teaching how to make a crib, but I would like to ask you what type of pump I need to make the waterfall and from where I am Maltese like you Marco and thanks.
Hi Marco could you please help me in giving some tip or idea of how can I prepare or make such statues like the baker or the women filling water because in India you dont get such kind of statues apart from the nativity set. It would be very helpful from you. Thanks.
Marco pe ri colori hai usato le tempere, credi che vanno bene anche le tempere delle pitture murali?? quelle che si usano pe rdipingere l'interno degli appartamenti, io ho intenzione di cimentarmi con un presepe di polistirolo ma non adesso ormai il natale e' molto vicino, ma mi organizzo e lo faro' con molta calma e tempo in piu' disponibile, comunque grazie dei tuoi consigli e suggerimenti,significa che lo fai per hobby e non sei geloso del tuo lavoro.
Lupo, Grazie per il complimento, allora ho usato film di plastica quella che usiamo in cucina un po di colla bianca sotto poi sopra ho messo quella cera che viene intorno al formaggio di galbani :) ...ho usato questa tecnica perche la corsa dell'aqua e corta.
Lupo..si puo usare tempere che si usano per dipingere i muri del appartamento pero le tempere devono essere "water based" con base aqua perche se non sono cosi fanno danneggio al polistirolo. Grazie per i complimenti Marco

Marco, ma nafx tistax tghini billi tghidli kif nista' naghmel biex il-mithna, inkun nista' naghmilha timxi bil-mod, meta nqabbadha mal-mutur. Uzajt xi tip ta' mutur partikolari? Jew ghamilt xi haga partikolari? Grazzi hafna
Proset hafna talx-xoghol li inti ghamilt. Ghadni kif lestejt ix-xoghol tal-jablo u l-kisi bil-paper napkins u l-kolla. Wara li tlesti dan ix-xoghol, x'tip ta' zebgha trid tuza biex taghti z-zebgha lill-presepju? Grazzi
jekk tkun trid ibghatli ritratt tal-presepju tieghek ghax issa ghamiltni kurjus ::)) ...rigward il-kulur zommu car kemm jista jkun. Jien mal gibs inhallat sallatura naqra skura tal-oak biex il-gibs ma jibqax bajdani..wara naghmel kannella u nimshu mal-ewwel bhekk jigi qiesu stained u jibqa jidher il gries tas-sallatura skura.
Facli mur ghand xi hanut taz-zebgha u staqsieh ghal kuluri li jaghmlu fuq il-presepji generalment ikunu kannella, isfar u ahdar. Jien l-ewwel nuza il-kannella imma kif naghmel bicca nimshu mal-ewwel biex ma jkunx skur wisq u bhekk thalli ftit mic-car tal-gibs jidher
