Nutcracker Display

National Trust: Mottisfont   |   Private commission

Christmas 2024

Mottisfont is a National Trust house in the south of England, UK, which holds themed events throughout the year. For 2024's Christmas season, the staff decided upon the 'Nutcracker' theme, and required a 6 -by- 10 foot tabletop model battle scene, stylised to the 1920-30s period. Models and decorations included:

 - A nutcracker prince.

 - A mouse king.

 - Toy model soldiers.

 - Gingerbread men.

 - Toy dolls and nurses.

 - Swarms of mice.

 - Decorative Christmas props and scenery.
