The King has enough of those grumpy dwarves, he has send his funniest jesters down the mine shaft to cheer them up. Although it remains to be seen how successful it is.

I also used some 12V (train) lighting for the door and windows in the mine shaft.

Very fun.  I like the caverns you constructed in the 12x12 area.

One could get vertigo just watching the scene!

Nice accents on the dwarves' domiciles on the different levels, and the variation in jester torso's doesn't hurt either.

Very fun concept! I like the originality and humor, as well as the craft behind it. Quite fond of the basket with all the different jesters hanging off it, makes for a nice center piece to the dwarven chambers.

Really great sense of movement packed into this small footprint!

I like how the scene is so vibrant and seems like a freeze frame from a movie of some sort. Lights look great! And fantasy era gnomes are always pleasant to look at.

Thanks for the comments. I tried to come up with something original and those jesters fit the bill, especially in a dwarven mine shaft.
