Show your layout

I'm well on the way of setting up for this year, but I would really like to do something different on my roof next year.

Every house is different (I'm very jealous of those of you with peaks on your roof) and I would love to see other peoples layouts to get some ideas of what can be done.

Here's my layout for this year (unless I decide to change something at the last minute haha!)
Once I actually finish setting it all up I'll be taking a new background photo and resizing everything to match



Hope everyone's having a blast getting ready for December! (or end of October if you do a show for Halloween)

As someone with peaks on the roof, I'm jealous of your flat roof and prop mounting area



Edit: Added picture, trying to get a decent "static" view in 3D mode is fun!

Flat roof would be sweet for whole roof matrix!

Any of those roofs are easier to work with than mine...

you have an amazing roof for a HD matrix panel

That's not small. My brother has an apartment and is gonna put a 36" Rosa Wreath and some snowflakes in a 4' x 8' window... that might count as a small display.

I am embarking on my first year from nothing so going small. Still not sure of the scale of items yet but at this stage working towards something like this...

How are you modelling this ?

Every wanted a bigger house just for more space to mount the props????????.....my wife thinks that's a bit extreme, but I can't afford a new wife and a new house lol

I build 1/2" EMT frames at a pitch that matches my roof, put magnets on them, and attach metal disks to the roof with screws and flashing sealant. I also use magnets to attach bats where you see roof snowflakes on this layout at Halloween, so that I can switch them out from a ladder without getting on my roof.

The layout I am trying to get out right now.


This is my rough Christmas layout, it will need some adjustments.
