CM4Sci Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) B-OV-40B So, that Winter Village contest is going on, and I (surprisingly) haven't seen any entries yet! I can't enter this digital entries aren't allowed. I made this for fun, anyway, I do it every year. Last year I made a candy store. But this year, I thought I'd try something smaller; a book store! Final_Winter_Book_Shop3 The store itself is 628 pieces, there is a light brick, but I will get on to that later. I had a few design flaws, like the rounded window. I wanted it to have some icicles, but using the green rounded plates wouldn't allow me to have them in some places. I tried my best not to have the window's roof from the post office set, so I kinda.. altered it. Some scenery is included; a tree with a snow pile (from the snowblower), and a small bridge with a stream underneath and a little wreath. The minifigures: WBS1 From left to right: Book Store Owner, Mother, Daughter, Father, Snow Worker Then a few inside images: Choosing books Buying a book (Where's the book? ) Upstairs bedroom, bed w/ lamp and a 'picture' (or newspaper ) The fireplace and light brick, that shines through the window! Side view (notice the technic pin hole in the 1st alt image?) So that's my Winter Book Store. I hope you all liked it!

DarthPotato Posted December 9, 2012 This is a really cool build! It looks like a winter village set right from Lego. I really like your snow blower design too. Nice job overall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice LDD creation 'CM4S'.....pity it isn't in real bricks. Brick On LDD On 'CM4S' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted December 9, 2012 This looks very nice for WV series. You should definitely build it with bricks. The snowblower is a nice detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monsinjor Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice... The house looks great. Interesting snowblower and the ice upon the windows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted December 9, 2012 I normally don't feel like commenting on digital designs, because they rarely look all that good - but this one is a very nice one. I'd love to see this brick-built - it'd look just as nice without those icicles, so that's an easy way around that design problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice! I hope you put it into bricks for the contest! Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted December 9, 2012 This looks really great. You've nailed the look and feel of the official Winter Village sets. I would love to see this done in bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CM4Sci Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks everyone! As much as I'd love to make this in real life, I'm afraid I can't purchase them at the moment. That and they probably wouldn't get here in time. If anyone wants certain pics, say so. -Sci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrcool1804 Posted December 10, 2012 I was wondering if anyone was going to use the green life preserver! I ordered for my Winter Village entry back in Oct. Makes a perfect wreath! Nice build too bad you can't make in real bricks. I am excited to show mine off soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLegoDr Posted December 14, 2012 Thanks for sharing. This is a really neat build. I agree, let's see it in brick form! Money is no object right... With that said, I do love the bridge and stream idea. I would almost want to borrow that for an official set. The green preserver/wreath is a good idea. I looove the bookshelf. I always struggle with making nice looking bookshelves, but this is brilliant and simple. I may have to borrow that too (if you don't mind). If you can, try to enter something else in the contest..on second thought, give us a fighting chance so don't enter anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
