Making Easter eggs downunder

Midnight and the bunnies and mice are busy getting Easter eggs ready to deliver. This is how the scene left our workshop - the lighting needs to go in underneath the grassy shelf, behind the tree trunks - under ground level and in the windows inside the trees. This will make a great difference as it was designed for the lighting to be done this way and it has been made to allow for easy installation. The wagon is between two tracks so it can be pulled up easily and then allowed to free fall with its own weight running back along the track to a starting point. It is a slow movement and a small distance but it looks effective and lifelike when it happens. The rabbit's paws are attached to this so it looks as if he is pushing - he simply moves with the wagon pull. There has also been housing/access and air allowances for a small motor to be inserted underneath the bowl of pink goo which connects with the wooden spoon and rotates it in a small circle. If a rabbit's paws are attached to the top end of this spoon it looks as if he is stirring and it swings out wider than at the base. Very effective especially if a small 12v or LED light is placed inside the stove so that a warm orange red glow is emitted to add further life to the scene.

Any claims by others to being the 'creator' of the scene, 'the creative force' or 'mastermind' behind it are COMPLETELY FALSE and an infringement of our copyright.

Rabbits and mice by Juanita at her home in Clifton to our drawings and specifications. There is a sign to the true creators at the rear of the scene as shown in the note --hover over screen -- and by copyright law this should still be there, unchanged and visible.
