    Hmm, have to say I'm right with you on the coarseness of the snow... If there was some way to highlight with a gloss coat so it sparkled in the lamp light...
    Nice effect on the edges of the trees tho'

          Some progress but I say, this kit is fighting me all the way nothing fits, every plate warped to a lesser or greater degree light slipping in where it should not etc
          blue led ended up on the ceiling instead since the pic was taken

                        Steven, like the idea of this , rather like the box dioramas. This has worked out well, anything with lights in like that, hope she's thrilled.

                          Hi Steven
                          A very clever, very different idea which has come on a treat. Really looking good.

                            Thanks for all the comments Gents
                            In case is was not clear, credit for the design goes to Jen Schachter - look her up - where I bought the SVG files that makes the set - the rest is me....- Including some additional "carpeting" - added panels, and bits and bobs here and there.
