the Inventor Posted October 10, 2010 Nice winter village, The Red Brick. I really like all those building together around the Christmas tree, can't wait to see this village get bigger. The HP train does indeed fit in with the rest. Are you gonna make a snowy landscape to put your building on? And if I where you, I add more trees because it looks a bit bare now and maybe some kind of plaza around the big tree. the Inventor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlegoninja Posted October 10, 2010 Looks really nice! I would add some trees and some 1x1 white studs for snowballs! To bad that isn't the holiday train on those tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if I where you, I add more trees because it looks a bit bare now and maybe some kind of plaza around the big tree. the Inventor I dont think I'll be making a huge Snowy landscape to put them on because if I did I'd need quite alot of Bricks and Plates. But I may just put it on a white cloth under my Christmas tree, maybe with the buildings at differnt levels At first I didn't think that the HP train would fit it but now that you mentioned it, it does look quite nice. Looks really nice! I would add some trees and some 1x1 white studs for snowballs! To bad that isn't the holiday train on those tracks. Thanks for those Idea's Mrlegoninja. It's too bad that the Holiday Train isn't avalible anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cwetqo Posted October 11, 2010 I also think so... I am also searching for moderate priced 10173 for some time now, but it looks like that's not gonna happen, so I will probably build similar train from loose bricks. There are no really special bricks used, so I think that I will be able to do so. Regarding winter willage: I really love it and HP train fits in really nice with its red/black number. I also think that both 10193 - MMV boulidings would also look very nice in this willage and maybe even new Hagrids Hut. Obly problem are not-white roofs, but that could be solved (or ignored). Does anybody have that combination (10199, 10216 and 10193)? I would really like to see some pictures of them together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Lightningtiger, I do hope I'll be able to keep all of it together before Christmas I want to make one like this, to replace my non-Lego one. You should make one too, Thats why I have made mine because we once had a small plastic thing under the tree Ooo this looks great will the village be expanding Yes it will be Expanding, as long as I have the room under the tree Euh, which ones are the official Lego sets? Thank you Vincent Kessels I think he knows there is a winter train set but its just so darn expensive Yes I'm aware of the holiday train, I just want it so bad I'll guess I could have a go at making my own I also think so...

GRogall Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Nice set, Will look a little better on either a white sheet or on white base-plates. Yes, that dang Holiday Train, I bet a lot more people would have bought it having known that TLG would someday release a winter village theme. Glad I grabbed three, when the went on sale at my local Lego store saved 50% on them as well. some day i'll will build a nice diorama with a little tunnel But for now I'm anxiously wait for next year's add on!

Good Cheer Posted October 16, 2010 Stunning set up! Look forward to all details you add to this. It's great so far. And I thought you chose the carpet you put it on because that is a relatively accurate color for plowed snow (in the sub-zero Midwestern town I grew up in.)

The Yellow Brick Posted November 30, 2010 Tomorrow I will be putting up our tree and I will be able to set up te village under it, Unfortunatly I don't have any white cloth to place it on but I will be using Tin Foil The good news is that the lights from the tree make a nice 'glow' on the foil and it will make the buildings stand out more. But the bad news is I don't think that I will have enough room for all of the buildings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Jar Jar Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Can't wait for it I might have a go at making my own village for the tree tough the tree will look quite funny under the sky light (everyone wanted a bigger tree so they all want it under the sky light so it will fit ) Edited November 30, 2010 by Darth Jar Jar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MightySlickPancake Posted November 30, 2010 Great set up . But the harry potter train jus looks out of place, In my opinion (not that my opinion is important ). I wonder what it would look like in the snow we're having here in the UK ? Thanks, CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
