countrymanlife 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well got a late start on these but figured I would show where I am at on them. (sorry for the crappy pics, my phone messed up and had to use my old one) got a little more writing to do on the signs for the reindeer and penguins. Then I gotta seal them and put them out in the yard, more pictures coming later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billings North Pole 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Those are awesome very nice work they are going to looks great in your display!!! Where did you get the patterns? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countrymanlife 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I free-handed them from images i found online. The elves came from images off shuttershack. The reindeer are based off http://www.thewinfieldcollection.com/product/Reindeer_Trio_Yard_Sign/Reindeer_Sleighs Santa and Rudolph are based off http://www.christmaslightshow.com/Falling-Santa-wood-patterns.html The Train is based off http://www.thewinfieldcollection.com/product/1017/Gingerbread I added the toy soldiers and am planning on hanging a sign off their candy canes to say "Merry Christmas" The penguins I do not recall where I found the image for that.

MrsWhimsy 0 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Really love your train!! I like how you designed it using ideas from different sources - your artwork is better than the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countrymanlife 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) So here are the pics of the decorations out. sorry for the big pictures. I can't wait to start adding more to these. I'll probably cut out the white portion above Santa's head. And a little story while setting these up. One reindeer antler broke off, it survived 2-3 weeks of being moved around in the shop, 1 - 20 mile trip to the house, and while deciding on where to put them it fell over on to my wife's foot and brook off, so for 2 days the middle reindeer had a piece of wood clamped over his face to glue hi antler back on.

mifronte 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Are those C9s or C7s outlining your house? And what is the bulb spacing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Anderson 25 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nice looking display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countrymanlife 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Are those C9s or C7s outlining your house? And what is the bulb spacing? They are c9 led bulbs at 12" spacing. I'm thinking of going with smaller spacing next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mifronte 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Based on your pictures, I think with the C9s, you can go down to 8" without the lights bleeding into each other. I am thinking of doing this for my roof (currently at 12" spacing). However, I was thinking of doing the house and windows with C7s at 6" spacing. I kind of like to see some spacing between the bulbs illumination. Edited January 4, 2014 by mifronte Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CameronInGA 7 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm planning on 9" inch space on my C9s when I put them back up next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
