Orlego Posted December 6, 2004 I have been thinking about some kind of automatic that moves Santa up and down the chimney We shall see what happens The automatic Santa going down the chimeney sounds cool. You could built a rooftop with the sleigh & reindeer with santa & the chiminey. Thanks. It is even better that the A-word LOL! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonfett Posted December 11, 2004 Man, that looks great! The sleigh looks really good on top of the house, but maybe just a few more small details on the actual structure and it will be alot better! Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImperialJohn Posted December 11, 2004 but maybe just a few more small details on the actual structure and it will be alot better! I think so to. As I said, I'm not finished :$ I kind of don't like the roof. It looks wrong. And the green around the house should of cause be white as snow. Also I think about some details around the windows.

ImperialJohn Posted December 11, 2004 I have changed a lot to this second edition :$ Also new pictures here of the interior. (When released) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ApophisV Posted December 12, 2004 One suggestion: I'd add a top layer to the roof, consisting of 45 degree slopes and black plates (see below), the current roof top looks a bit like the half of the roof is just cut off.. And similar to the snow you've added to the windows, you could also add some snow e.g. to the chimeney's top... BTW: All those changes are looking very good! :oD I like this organic look of the snow you reached! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImperialJohn Posted December 12, 2004 the current roof top looks a bit like the half of the roof is just cut off I agree totally :( And the suggestion is what I have been thinking about. So third eddition is on teh way :$ All those changes are looking very good! I like this organic look of the snow you reached! Thanks. I think the windows and the snow works much better than before *wub* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted December 13, 2004 That looks very good! The snow around the base looks very nice and I think that Apo's idea will look good, as currently the roof just seems to stop.. Can't wait to see the next version, I am sure it will be great! Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ApophisV Posted December 14, 2004 :oD If there had been a second reindeer, it would look like Santa's personal Pod-Racer... :D (BTW, my crib is almost ready, I'll post pics as soon as I made them....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImperialJohn Posted December 15, 2004 If there had been a second reindeer, it would look like Santa's personal Pod-Racer... Yes. A bit strange that it does'nt have two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImperialJohn Posted December 16, 2004 :oD That is great Apo. It looks excatly like a crib should *wub* The detail picture are very dark :'( So it is hard to see the real beaty of the model. But I like the color-scheme for the crib. I might use that for a "normal" house :D And the elephant :oD How did a reindeer end up i Bethlehem I wonder :$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I know, I took them at one o'clock at night, I will make better pictures with daylight.... Those are just previews... ;) But I like the color-scheme for the crib. I might use that for a "normal" house :D Hehe, it's earth-orange with grey and black.... I'm very happy with it, it looks better than I'd expected...
