We have quite a few old, old, old Christmas decorations from when my son was little and even from my childhood, and my step-granddaughter Zoe wondered if we had anything she could play with.
Enter Grandpa with all sorts of nonsense on my hard drive
The defunct Disney Spoonful site had a Christmas Village which fits the bill, sort of.
A really bizarre thing. It's a backdrop for the Christmas Village Characters. It's actually one building. Not sure why they would make the two outer buildings low profile, but have the middle building extend back almost as wide as the whole thing.
I built it, just to see how awful it was.
It is clever in a way, but could be a lot better.
Started by enlarging Santa's Workshop
Successful enough to proceed. Now the characters were gigantic, so I reduced the reindeer to 65% and the other characters to 57% to be closer to the scale of the doors on the buildings. They also needed stouter bases. So, in the next photo, I've got the original building with the reduced characters
But I'm guessing she would rather play with this
The trees are from the Cardboard Warriors Christmas Hoard of 2012. The figure bases are from Kev's Lounge (repainted). The two smaller buildings actually fit inside the larger building, with room for the trees and figures, allowing for less storage space throughout the year
