Been a while since I've updated, but I have a bunch of changes.
20221023_162657Moved the Bakery up, as there wasn't enough room on the upper level for the Gingerbread House. Then I ended up moving the Post Office into that spot and the Gingerbread House back into the corner, for a bit more space around the train tracks on that side. Felt too imbalanced. I gotta go back and decide if/how I can cover up the red plates and multicolor walls inside the tunnels; I used the black and grey that used to be in there to finish more visible walls and such.
20221023_162723Finished up the full plan for this set up of Town Square. Still feel like it could have a better overall plan, but this allowed me some various personal touches on the lower level while still setting up the top stairs to land on proper places for the upper level. Also still need to decide if there's a better way to transition from the back of the Train Station to the Town Square steps. Open for suggestions.
20221023_162706Have open spaces in front of the Fire House and behind the Post Office, but not large enough for another actual building. I still had 4 full sized vehicles, so I put in the road in, but it feels like I'm still learning how to properly do the snow edges. Both ends of the road also just kinda end abruptly.
20221023_162715And started a walking path out of the Fire House to behind the Post Office, to add a little scene of someone filling up the horse & carriage with gifts. Want to make sort of a parking lot area there, but not sure if I have the space to do it properly.
20221023_162734Pretty satisfied (again) with the setup on this side. Had to reduce the landscaping and hill around the gazebo, but there's enough activity around here to make it OK. Love my guy stuck in the snow.
Feel like I'm slowing down as I get near the limit of things I can do without ripping it apart to do more major changes, and it's already nearing the limits of how much space I can dedicate to the Village when it's actually out for the holidays. But more sets being added every year and more things I wanna do!
