Second in a series of advent MOCs.
About this creation
Luke 2:8-15

And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

Here are some of the shepherds. Please notice their purist jackets made from folded short capes.


Merry Christmas!
Soli Deo Gloria!

This is awesome! Great job recreating that scene! I like how you didn't just make it flat, but you had a hill. I also like the design of the angels! |

I'm guessing the stars are photoshopped axel ends? I'm not sure how you got that rotation.
The axel ends towards the top are the only photoshopped ones. Lower down, the ends are stuck into 1x2 bricks with either a peg or axel whole in the middle. The axels in the peg wholes can be rotated. |

I love the facelessness of the angels, and the shepherd figs are fantastic! I'm guessing the stars are photoshopped axel ends? I'm not sure how you got that rotation. |
