Roktman Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Just in time for Christmas, we have Krampus.Along the narrow paths of the alpine countries, between snowy forests and silent valleys, on cold nights that come close to the winter solstice, wild and mysterious creatures roam: they are the Krampus. In the time of year when the sun is weak and barely touches the Earth with its rays, they come out of their shelters in the mountains to go to visit lonely Alpine countries ... They sneak quietly in homes or roam the streets between noises of cowbells looking for naughty children, who kidnap closing them in the bottom of a large sack, to take them who knows where ...Children who will not be rewarded by the gifts of Santa Claus, end up in the clutches of the devils of Yule, the Krampus!Everything that exists, exists because of its opposite: there isn't force, intelligence, virtue, or property that hasn't an opposite that counterbalances. In the popular tradition of the north-east Italy, Austria, Germany and the Slavic countries, the Krampus is the force opposite to that of Santa Claus: he is the companion of Santa Claus, often depicted with him, the other face of a single power that gives or takes away according to merit.The Krampus model comes from Aradia Models, who started out as two brothers from Italy, that have expanded to include a very talented group of artists. The model is very well sculpted and is 75mm in size. It came in about 6 pieces, and was very easy to put together. Thanks for looking.

WildBill50 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Well, HO,HO,HO. An inspiration to be good if ever there was one needed. Well done. I like the setting of the roof top for it. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
