It's not easy being Santa

Poor old Santa. It isn't an easy life. This time he is stuck in a chimney and the elves are trying to free him. The bucket contains items to help release him such as soap,oil, a lever and if all these fail - dynamite!! - maybe one of these will do the trick. Another, probably the senior flight elf, reads the emergency procedures manual to see what is the correct procedure to use in this instance. We pivoted Santa's legs through a rod so they could be move easily backwards and forwards. The mouse on the right is reading a newspaper which gives the credit to StudioM for its design and creation. By copyright, this should still be there, unchanged and visible to the public.

Designed and made by StudioM at our little home workshop in Tinbeerwah in the Noosa hinterland. Moral rights/ copyright held RGM StudioM. This photo was taken BEFORE a Promotions company bought the scene and added some simple up and down motion into it by inserting a rotating shaft and cam system positioned above with fishing lines connected to objects below to create some slight movement. A simple, commonly used system. Any claims by this company and its director to be 'the mastermind' and 'creative force behind' the scene are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of our copyright.

Juanita Wellings in Clifton made elves and mice to our specifications and drawings, the originals of such are held by StudioM together with copyright.
