That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

I had no idea that they were still in existance! Some history of the abstract figures who represent Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus and the 3 Wise men on their camels. Pastor Noel Schultz shortly after he came to serve with us gave me a page out of an American Lutheran magazine which showed a very attractive nativity scene and asked me if I could replicate the entire scene assemble it in front of St Johns in Elizabeth Street Gilgandra and illuminate it so it would really make an impact on the passing public. I then drew up a scale drawing and decided for longevity of the display I would use what they used to call 1/2 inch black structural pipe. The fabrication was compelted in our workshop then I did some research and found that there was a fluorscent paint that glowed under ultraviolet light, it was hard to get but a chance meeting with a British Paints Representative in the local Department Store who had a comprehensive catalogue of their products proved fruitful so the paint was ordered in various colours and the figurines were painted with that paint and then the search for a UV light source was found. These were in the form of 20 watt fluorscent tubes at an electrical warehouse in Dubbo, these were duly ordered in and so holders and reflectors had to be made, lights wired in, using long leads and plenty of double adaptors! I had lost track of those figurines after I had moved from Gilgandra in 1994 and assumed that they had long been turned into scrap. As I considered the same display for St Peters Lutheran Church here in Port Macquarie. I recall that the painting was done during a working bee by the members of the Luther League! You have no idea how tickled pink I am to see them being still used to promote the true story of Christmas, they are indeed evoke very fond memories of my younger days in the Luther League in Gilgandra! Those figurines are 50 years old! Thank you for featuring them on your webpage! Many blessing to you all!
