Happy Friday everyone!

During this stressful time for everyone, I thought a thread of our fun/silly/fanciful things on our layouts would be great.

What I mean by silly/fun: it can be anything from alien, monsters, little people in amusing situations, non-scale figures, etc.

So let’s see what you guys have!

The closest I have ever gotten to "funny" or "silly" on a layout, has been making my interpretation of a Rosebowl/ThanksgivingDay-type parade, right down the middle of a village street. I felt the large figures you see used here were a fair (but likely silly? Fanciful?) representation of the huge floats which have characterized such parades thru the decades since I lived on the Upper Westside of Manhattan, right behind the Natural History Museum, where the floats get inflated early in the morning of the day of the parade, and everybody in the neighborhood, and plenty of tourists,

Oscale_Trains_Lover/ Bryce, Thanks very much for your approval.

And yes, the parade needed a band and got a couple drummers (well, sort of,) some of which can be seen hereIMG_9449 paradealong with a Benz-limo with Santa and a few other characters aboard IMG_9469you will likely recognize, having a good ol' time of it...

I like it!

Here's an idea for a variation on that scene.

As I recall, when I originally saw that scene, even as a 7 or 8 year old I could tell that it was filmed by having them walk on a flat surface with the camera turned sideways.  (At the time, I had no idea how funny that show really was!)  So, lay the building on its back, so that they're walking on a level surface, and see how many visitors get the joke.

Bill T,

Run forest run! 

 

Adriatic, 

I am laughing way too hard at the PRR camelback  

 

James,

I love it! You just gave me a great idea and it involves the Bud Iced Penguin… "doo-bee, doo-bee, doo" 

 

Rob,

Most excellent! Where did you get those figures? I think my layout could benefit from the Caped Crusaders  

 

briansilvermustang,

I see that I'm not the only one who has aliens invading his layout! haha!

 

Bryce
