That's it for this year.

Here is a link list of my previous iterations of Santa Castle's and Christmas themed dioramas available here at Playmofriends.

Christmas 3000
Holiday Market Diorama 2017
Santa's Workshop 2016
Santa Town 2015
Santa Castle 2013
Santa Village 2012
Santa Castle 2011
Simral and the Santa 2010
     Simral in Seattle
     Simral Get's a Clue
     Simral's Solution

You may have noticed no masks or social distancing at the North Pole. Also no dumpster fires. I wanted a respite from reality. Thanks for looking, I hope you all have as great a holiday as possible for 2020. Tim

Fantastic work Tim, as always! A real treat, looking through the pictures and spotting familiar and unfamiliar PM parts. 

One of my favourites was no. 74, with Santa's surfboard hung up waiting for next Summer. And his hat and beard on a stand- that explains why he sometimes appears wearing an obviously false beard, I suppose. The cool reindeer in shades was another high spot in many.

Great lighting, great setup. I hate to think how long it will take to put it all away!

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

With all those sweets, it's a good thing they brought in an in-house dentist!  :elf:

Nice work!

Amazing dio, as always! There are so many lovely details! :love:

Your structure is perfect, very well divided; downstairs the warehouse/storage, great Santa-sledge and coffee-break scenes :love:, 2 floors of wonderfully filled workshops (also love the very useful dentist corner, of course he must be needed), and upstairs the offices, the santa memorabilia, and the reindeers getting ready, sunglasses and all!  :love:
Thank you for sharing and cheering up this Christmas, Tim! Merry Christmas!!  <*) :xmascheer: :xtree:

Another brilliant dio, as always  <*)

I love the custom banners (not new, I guess, but I still love them ;) )

And I agree about that spirit sleigh - really nice... and in pretty colors too!

I really like the painted/unpainted dolls in pic 22! .. and all the toys on the shelves (#27)... AND the little elf building the house from instructions (#31) :love:

All the reindeers on the top (and Rudolph wearing sunglasses!  :rudy: ) are awesome - and the harnesses all lined up inside  :wow:   And the weather station too.

The room up top with the charts and computers is also brilliant...

And the surfboard on the wall is GENIUS! :)  Awesome detail, along with the hat on the bust.


Thank you for sharing!

(how many of those elves do you have? :o )

Thanks for the comments everyone !
I have many many elves. I would like to have more multiples of the newer ones yet.  This year's display is smaller and I only used less than half I think.
