This is just so cool & appropriate. Well done. I'm sure you'll figure out the trees. PaulE

Thanks, even though it’d be more in my nature to do a model like this around Easter or in the middle of the summer
Ideas are welcome, though, as I’ve still not had any good ones.
See your local hobby shop for trees. Not just model RR, even slot car section has trees, so evilbey should have them easily/cheaply if you don't have a LHS. PaulE
Jakko,
Looking good

The ones left in my general area don’t have anything I would consider usable for this. Perfectly conical pine trees (of which I have a bunch, for wargaming purposes) don’t really cut it, going by the photo of the real thing

Small update: I applied some shading to the model with thinned-down light grey (Rackham “Sharp Gray” for those keeping track), then sealed the decals under matt varnish.

The sleigh is almost finished too, so here it is posed on the LVTP:

Still loose, as I need to paint a few details and add the garland that’s around the sleigh. The tracks are nearly done, just need a bit more painting, and the figure is also getting there. What else? Oh yeah, I still need to find something to make the baubles from, and I’ve more or less given up on the trees because I can’t think of a convincing way to make them

Hi Jakko
What can I say - beautifully done, great fun, so appropriate and I've never seen it done before.
