The Santabots are intriguing.  Did you come up with that idea?

I'm sure it must have been used before. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do the open back panel like that though. I think finding something different to do each year with the big pile-o-Santa may be an interesting challenge. We'll see what next year brings

Hi Tim  :elf:

   Thanks for the updated pictures of you festive castle. I too really like how you creatively used so many Santa's for you scene. It is a challenge on how to use so many of them in the same set up and you figured out a great way to do it. As long as that Dwarf gets the wiring correct  :hmm:

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

The light of the pictures is really nice. Do you use daylight? (It looks like that.)

Santas 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 8.1, ... :P Scary, in a way 8} ...

Interesting concept, bringing sci-fi into Christmas. Well, this whole Santa Claus story is quite sci-fi, anyway ... Nothing better than robots to explain it :hmm: And/Or time warps 8}

Thanks for the pictures, Tim! :love:

I use daylight plus fluorescent and halogen light in the room, but no spots on the Playmo. It gives a more natural look, but I have to be careful of camera shake due to slower exposure times.
