This was my 1st attempt at building a
base. It was on four bases. The entire
village was done using hot wire foam
factory tools. I used white styrofoam
but have since changed to extruded
polystyrene which yields better results.

This is my entire 3 level village as
setup in my spare room.

The fifth base I entered in a contest.
You can see how the base was started
and how the base turned out. The
night sky is the actual night sky facing
north on December 25th.

The sixth base. This was a small town I
created with 49 cent buildings from
CVS. You can see the layout and how I
used the alcohol and Black India ink to
fill in the bricks. The fence was made
from elegant toothpicks purchased at
Shaw's.

This is the second level of my home
village. I like this level because the
lighting is very bright. I probably would
not use this type of fence again. The
fencing is expensive, 12 pieces cost
3.00.
