Hi guys...

The fireplace village is my 3-D Christmas Card ... it never fails to make me smile when
I finish the installation, turn off the living room lights, and enjoy the scene. I changed
out the old low voltage lights inside the houses to new warm white LED's mini lights,
the advantage being that LED's don't get hot, and some of my houses are closing in
on 100 years old!
Another improvement is a pretty good LED flicking flame rig for the bonfire (Evan Designs)
I'm trying to get a video uploaded so you can enjoy
the twinkling stars along with the fire... to follow!
