I finally completed my first new prop for this year, an infinity Bethlehem star to go on the roof.

@Kartman How does this look up on the roof? Did you take any pictures of it from out front?

Finally finished the lights for the front porch railing. About 8m of pixel trim for Halloween and another 8m for winter, with strip channel for good measure.

I was really happy with how it looked, am out on the road will try and find some.

Manage to find a video on my phone, but can't work out how to post it here, will upload to videos and link that.

I liked how it looked and I thought is added a nice illusion of depth, particularly good for people off to one side. As always bigger would have been better.

I live in the tropics (Cairns) and i noticed after about two week moisture built up inside the prop and I had to remove the front cover and wipe it down so I got the full effect again. This year I will either put some absorbent in it or a fan to keep the air circulating. It was at this point I realisied the error of stainless screws into stainless rivet nuts (don't use a screw gun to remove them), but they all have anti seize now so the cleaning of the mirror out is pretty easy.

Would I build it again, you bet, I love it.
