Welcome HO-HO-Home

After last year's carousel insanity I was happy to see less LED options in 10245 Santas Workshop, so here it is, the 2014 edition of finishlast christmas...

Unfortunatelly the toy machine seems to be broken...

Here is the blinking layout in action.

I'll update this post when I put the whole diorama together later in december, it should fit somewhere in here at least I hope so..

Merry Christmas (soon)

The best part is that one special reindeer with a red nose......Brick On 'finshlast' !

Yeah, there should be one spare trans red 1x1 in th box included.

But anyways, I couldn't wait till december so I put everything together for a quick test.

I just found out the first booth didn't have light, so I fixed the loose wire. Damn you wires!

I need a 1,8meter woodboard. It's getting way too long...

And here is the diorama in all it's blinking beauty...

I didn't put in all details and mini-figs, I have to save something for Christmas ;)

How did you do the lights?

Very cool! Lighting the models really adds to the festive spirit and atmosphere of the village. I would also like to know how you did the lights.

I used 2 different leds.

For the candle effect in the sleigh I used - well - led candles which I bought in one of these 1 € shops. I think it was 4 candles for 1€.

The the other lights are 0805 smd leds.

I used a 6 channel chasing light. Channel 1-4 for the roof, channel 5 for Rudolphs nose and 6 for the toy machine.

I had it flying around for over a year, so I used it for this set. In the carousel I made a 10 channel one by myself.

When you get older you get lazy ;)

All powered with a Fujitsu 19v powersupply.

You have to wire them, just put double sided tape on a metal plate, put the smd led on it and wire the cables, I put some extra superglue on the wires and the led for stability reasons.

I used a 1mm drill to drill the holes.

I love this!

The lighting is very beautiful, great work.

Just found this - love it - and I am sharing it with my electrician (husband) because the lighting is exactly what I want!

If you want to drive him nutz, you can guide him to do the carrusel too:

Have fun!
