As lighted porcelain village pieces become more detailed and sophisticated, collectors are desiring to place them in more realistic settings. The Original Village Display Tips books is a basic reference for building displays. Village Display Tips: Volume II is more advanced. Topics include laying out villages around focal points, transitioning one village into another, merging pieces from one village into another effectively, and developing seasonal displays for spring or Halloween. It also includes adding multiple trains and other animation, as well as using wheat lighting to create brighter or more atmospheric displays. There are also more ways to assimilate water - waterfalls and streams; construct mountains and to develop interesting backgrounds. Additionally, instructions are provided to build several projects to detail a display. Whether just starting out or well seasoned, this informative book is another basic resource for all village collectors., ISBN13: 9780966477504 ISBN10: 0966477502 Material Type: paperback
