robcat 13 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Started setting up the blowmolds for this year's display. Took a little road trip Saturday and got a really nice arch for the front door (not a blowmold, but it fits in really well!). Got my soldier/penguin wall up on Saturday. No pics yet, but I got all the molds across the front of the house on Sunday. Total this weekend - 111 set up, 250+ more to go. Hope to get the rest set up this week and the wiring done next week.

55cgas 29 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I really like that arch... Is it a one off or can I buy one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pumpkin 1 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Nice...where did you get the soldiers with the arch? I don't think I've seen those any where. Gosh, if you really have 250 more blowmolds to go my husband really has nothing to complain about with my few. Do you use the blowmolds with an LOR? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

basketballmail2 10 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 That arch is really great, I would guess that it belonged to a store display at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robcat 13 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I don't know where the arch came from originally. The lady I purchased it from had a lot of really nice, large decorations (8' tall Santa, 6' tall nutcracker, Santa beside a 7' tall lightpost, etc.). She was moving into a smaller house and downsizing her collection. We only got the arch, a 3' tall sitting Santa reading a list, and three 3' tall elves. The arch is the only outdoor decoration we got; my wife will use the others when she decorates the inside. For lighting the soldiers, I recently purchased 200 inline vampire candelbra sockets with metal clips. I am planning to make two long runs of bulbs. I'll have to remove them when I take down the display, but I like it better than having individual lights plugged into a long cord with many vampire plugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
