This is our 30th year of building giant LEGO models. The first one we did was when my son
00:04
was two years old. At that time we thought it was a big model but it was basically up to my knee
00:11
and then since then we've been getting bigger and bigger. So this year we based our model
00:16
on my mother's crib which she made many many years ago I think in 1969 and it was based on
00:24
these figures. So we've got Joseph here which sort of vaguely looks like the one that we've
00:30
got in the back and Catherine's got Mary. So it was it was based on that my mother handmade these
00:37
from a pattern and we thought we'd use this as a sort of the format for the actual crib itself.
00:44
The figures are more you know based on a sort of stained images of a stained glass window
00:50
so sort of stylized figures with a halo. And we've done it life-size as usual so that's always
00:58
been a bit of a challenge. So I've been sort of trying to sort of the size of Mary sort of
01:03
I was kneeling down trying to get the dimensions and had Mike next to Joseph looking at the size
01:10
and sort of with a with a cloak on it. Yeah and I had to have Catherine kneeling and then I'd build
01:16
round her at first just to get the basic shape. So proportionately it's worked out quite well that
01:22
the models so we're quite pleased with that. We gave up having a standing donkey yes. Yeah because
01:28
the legs that would be too feeble to hold that the whole model up so that's why it's it's sitting
01:33
down which is a shame in a way. But I was quite pleased with the gate because last year we did
01:38
a gate on the the garden wall sort of thing and that was very fragile and that sort of broke very
01:44
easily. Whereas this year I learned from my experience now you can actually move the gate
01:49
quite easily and it's self-supporting. We'll probably still carry on do another model next
01:55
year we've got no idea but I think a building not figures. Yeah but it is something that we do
02:01
together and we do enjoy it. I mean there's just periods where it's very intense trying to get it
02:07
done in time and this year we're actually much later than normal. Normally we try and finish by
02:11
December the 1st and we've literally finished this morning.
