Wow, every year you improve an amazing diorama even further!

-I love the flight controll tower, very clever!  :sleigh:
-The pizzeria is a nice touch, I gues santa really likes pizza?  <*)
-Great bakery too, I love how that medieval looking fellow prefers that over pizza, which only the modern looking clickies seem to be eating. :)
-Robot Santa's? I gues that explains how he can deliver all gifts so fast. But now I wonder which one of the ones in the diorama is the real one..  :eh?:
-Rendeer playing soccer? Are they training to beat the easter bunnies?  :rudy:
-Nice banners and castle design too, many kings and knights would be jalous!  :knight:

Such a great diorama, I'll definatly be looking through the pictures a few more times during the holidays to spot all the little details.  :xmascheer:

Are those banners custom made? They are gorgeous!! What is the ground (snow) made of? It has that grainy texture, looks just right. Glad to see the pond, Santa Claus manufacturing, the greenhouse and the flight control tower again: brilliant ideas! And now they have a cafetaria as well.  :)
The reindeer get lots of exercise, I see.

The Christmas card with your avatar dino in scarf and bonnet, it's the best  ;D

The banners are custom, just printed out with a color printer on regular paper. I am still reusing the ones from the Marketon joust years ago now. I will have to do some new ones one of these days. Thanks to Cowabounga for his help with the original banners, most of the design is by him.
The ground is acrylic fleece cloth with a bit of the fake snow stuff you get for Christmas villages sprinkled around the edges of the pond and on a few of the flat surfaces.
We all know there are reindeer games so soccer makes sense, though their team never seems to make it into the world cup.
Thanks go to dear Ronastoo who hand knitted the hat and scarf for Tiermann the Dino a few years ago.

There are bits and pieces in there that I've received with help from collectors all over the world. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this such a great hobby over the years!
