Popular Post rafairchild2 Posted November 26, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 This one has taken me a while. Just a few more details and it is done. In this photo, I still have not secured the uprights to the base, so keep that in mind when looking closely. Still deciding on how I want to finish it too. A few broken parts due to some delicate design areas. For one of the buildings, I did not add details cuts as it would have been another weak area. Now that I am getting a handle on these types of projects, I am going to mark up the pattern with my changes to strengthen some of the areas and prevent breakage. I am also thinking I am going to go to a thicker wood vs the 1/4", as I would also like to start adding some of my carving details.

Scrappile Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Very well done. I always like the lighted layered scenes. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I did differently from the pattern, was to not use the 'tabs' on the bottom of the upright layers, that would slide into the base. I used 1 x 0.5" x 5" spacers between the layers, which in turn are affixed to the base permanently. Not so great for storage, I know, but I wanted a solid structure.
