Are you ready? Settle down at the back there! Here we go:
Here is the ultimate xmas table / side board sideboard display, I made this a few yeasr ago for a 12 days of xmas dinner party / meal i hosted and think now its time to let it go.
It took a good few months to source / find the items , all of which are quality items as you can seem below , thus the price., if you want to host a similar party my menu is listed below but note not included in this sale, it cost more then the asking price to build this / find the parts, etc not to mention the time so please only sensble .
Please ; heres what you get see / cross refreance the pictures to more detail, its a huge talking point and will be remembered for many xmases to come and will indeed last for many uses/ xmases too .
The whole thing stands over a foot tall and its based on an upturned quality street choc tin, its empty / hollow based so can actually be used as a cake tin, or hide things under it for xmas treats. The tin is covered in plaster of paris to look , snow, and the higher end days / numbers/ figures are embedded in this, atop the tine and base is a xmas tree that has colour changing effects, fibre optic,
Heres the list nd what they are made from ; (starting form the base working up if you cross ref the photos)
12 drummers drumming 32nd scale queens own drummers britains soldiers as i recall, plastic bases, base & side drums
11 pipers piping 32nd scale queens own drummers britains soldiers as i recall, plastic bases, these two items alone took more time to find/ complete than all others
