I love your village room. Great to see your train not going 500 MPH like some do. Awesome village and really neat video. It has been chosen as a "Village Video of the Month" selection on our website, and will be featured on the "Village Videos" page of the site starting Thursday, September 15, 2022. Congratulations!

Oh, this is successful. Since a couple of years I watch christmas and winter dioramas. And the most of the american are overloaded and absurd thememixed. And above all colorful. But not this one. You made a fantastic, nearly lifelike display with a very romantic touch in european style. I like this. Thanks for showing.

The Internet-I found brick and stone patterns and printed the style and color I liked. Then after realizing how many ink cartridges, I would be going through, I took it to a local mail/print shop and had 500 copies made much more economically. Then I cut and glued them down to the foam base with Modge Podge.

Thanks, It took a couple years to build the tables and arch, sew the table skirt, do all the electrical for the train and lighting, and just the landscaping, not to mention the planning to utililize space as the table has 298 official lit houses, although I lit some on my own like the Tower bridge and some accessories with the string of Christmas lights dept 56 sells. It stays up all year.

It’s been a few years, but I think I remember as I tried different methods. My table surface is made up of 2” thick Styrofoam insulation sheets that come in 4’ X 8’ sheets. Wherever there was water I took my foam cutter and gouged out small shallow chunks, and then I was going to put spray glue down, and stick Blue cellophane to it. I tested this method and found that the spray glue eats the Styrofoam so then I think I painted it with a coat of leftover latex wall paint, and then different shades of blue acrylic paint over that. Then I can’t remember if the spray glue worked OK on the latex/acrylic, or if I glued the cellophane with Modge Podge. I think I went with the Modge Podge. Then I put a soft towel over it, and a little weight on it until it dried. If you notice at the 1 minute mark on the video, the lights from the passing train made a nice ripple effect on the water surface area. Thanx

Not really? They seem glued pretty well. If it was me and I was willing to take a chance, I would see if I could slip a single edged razor under the plastic bottom plate to see if I could separate the glue that holds it. You'd have to be very careful not to break anything or cut yourself.
