ACTION FIGURE DIORAMA HOLIDAY PUB CRAWL 2023 - EVERYBODY IS INVITED!

What a lovely cozy set-up and what an exquisite tree!!!

As a bonus episode to my 2023 advent calendar my power couple Violaine and Jonathan want to wish you

a very Merry Christmas and great days with your family and friends!

Very cozy, MMI, lovely set and that dog totally steals the show.
Violaine and Jon look very sweet together, Illusion. Always great to keep the spark alive.

Woooow! It was fun to catch up! So many lovely and super creative photos! 

And funny how Keanu always gets away looking classy.  What a gorgeous pair!

Dave, that's... wow. Particularly loving those super tight shots! They sell the scale extremely well! 
MMI, so fun to see your characters like that in such a beautiful setting! 

So much creativity all around!

Very nice to see the holiday cheer, plus some really cool scenes too.

All of these look great BTW! And yes, Keanu is the definition of "classy"!

The following day a new friend showed up, and formal photos were taken before heading out to dinner. Not everyone participated however as formalwear just isn't for them (read IRL of I don't have anything for them lol) and if they went to dinner without dressing up they would be responsible for the bill.

Illusion: It's great to see John Wick in a peaceful setting!

MeMyself&I: The fireplace is a nice touch. And the fuzzy friend seems to be behaving pretty realistically.

Another entry - not so much pub-themed, but holiday-related nonetheless:

Oh, is this for me?

Great shots, everyone!

Nice contributions, everyone, it's been fun to follow along!

I sooo wish I could have participated, but we ended up with a bunch of clients wanting their dogs to stay last minute, so been far too busy to do the photoshoots I'd intended to do prior to Christmas. Maybe I can squeeze something in before New Year's Eve or 'the twelfth night'.

Wow, those ladies dress up nicely! Especially Ayane!

And hehe... Katie's gotta gun...

Thank you to everyone who is inviting us in to their pubs, living rooms, and cozy nooks for a bit of holiday cheer!

Ayane, the most fashion conscious of the enter gang, had an outfit that was literally pulled out of my accessories box at the last second for those photos. The boots? Had to paint them cause the black flocking was coming off. The purple sash? Ribbon. The shawl (did I name that right?)? A piece of white microfiber cleaning cloth from my technician days working on PCs. I'm glad it worked and so is she!

Thanks for the invite (I'm glad I got my display done in time)! Everyone has been partying hard and enjoying the holiday season I would say!

That crew is going to need a drink... hot cocoa or cider, 'natch... to warm up after traipsing through the snow!

Thanks for sharing a holiday get-together with us!

The sleigh is seriously loaded down! Santa's helper is gonna have a busy night!

Nice job BW, but I can't help but think it's got to be one hell of a party they are headed to, to brave the icy wastes with so little clothing.

Great photos Everyone!

Thank You guys for the great comments!

Well the ladies seem to prefer hot toddies after a group photo. (it was way to cold out for them)

Thank you for hosting this thread. It's great fun. (same time next year?)

Oh yeah she has very busy that night. But she loved it.

Indeed it was a great party.

Late to the party with slim festive pickings at the castle, the wine won’t last long…..

Ah, keeping it cozy in the castle keep... and getting a head start on the New Year celebrations!

They look ready to crack open those Christmas crackers! What trinkets or treasures will they hold?

All manner of fun things to look at in this detailed scene!

Thank you for joining in the festivities and opening the portcullis to holiday visitors.

I love the castle diorama and the participants. Over time, I'm sure you'll be able to put together a more lavish menu.

that's awesome!

Thanks for the encouragement, hmm a portcullis would be a good addition to keep the riff raff out! Yes I will have to get to more menu items, it’s a never-ending list of wished-for extras for these projects….

Ha-ha good fun!
Judging by the size of those beer's, they could located in Germany ;D

Nice shots, very fun. I don't have much of a pub, and the only bar in the area got closed down and no one knows why yet so.... lets have a back alley get-together since I doubt anyone would  bother these folks .

However you celebrate the holidays is fine... as long as we're all invited!

Looks like a fun-loving crew!
