Good challenge theme! Another option is to have it go until the the middle of January or later. That allows for more extensive moon bases or scenes. The current deadline is good too since it is like the old speed modeling challenge. Setting an achievable goal and working efficiently become part of it.

Collecting free models for furniture and set dressing. Still working on textures but they are ok. Made a fireplace plus free log and container models. Fire simulation takes a while to render so I might not have fire in the finished animation. Will have more dramatic lighting. Dark scenes were noisy ...

The textures could use some fine tuning but too much else to do. Next is furniture, toy train, and decorations. The tree has 300 particle i...

Although that building is a bit grand for a home, I decided to use its style and elements from it for the ...

Spacekdet reported in by email. He is ok and busy with work. He can't post here. Get's a 403 forbidden error. I'll PM Clintonman.

That's a cool hobby Steinie. Congratulations to the happy couple! I wish Spacekdet would report back. Starting to worry if he's ok. The mowing season is over now. I look forward to my winter break. Some weeds, odd jobs, and the leaves could fall soon. Otherwise, I'll post an update on my Christmas C...
