Galaktek Posted December 24, 2013 The local train LUG's layout is always a big hit at the Winter Village! Winter Village Train Layout by Galaktek, on Flickr Kids can play with the crane in the busy freight yard ...

ReflectioN Posted December 24, 2013 Very clever, very nice. Another proof that you don't need to build something huge to make something impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoEinstein Posted December 24, 2013 So much great small references in there, the red city passenger train, the city cargo truck. Also love the addition of the castle to the mountain. Great details. The to be train driver kid posing for the photograph is a nice touch. Using the paint roller handle for the crane is really smart. Good luck in the contest.

Heppeng Posted December 24, 2013 Thats absolutely great! I like that they are using 12V tracks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazumpty Posted December 24, 2013 Absolutely brilliant...I live all the 'mini' details and the interchanging of the 4 modules is brilliant. Good luck in the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timmyc1983 Posted December 24, 2013 This is amazing, so many details in it yet it's so small! Would work perfectly in any Winter Village! Good luck and happy building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted December 24, 2013 OMG ! That's a wonderful creation 'Galaktek'.......Brick On and Merry Christmas ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kage28 Posted December 24, 2013 Ingenious! I am most impressed by the scene within the scene idea and the fact that you actually made the miniatures representative of their larger scale counterparts! Good luck for the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted December 24, 2013 Lovely micro scale work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wonderpuddle Posted December 25, 2013 Very nice. Love all the detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrcKing Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Very clever, very nice. Another proof that you don't need to build something huge to make something impressive. Indeed. I always get a kick out of creative microscale designs such as this. It is a real challenge trying to create something in a limited size while giving it the illusion of being more detailed than it actually is. It's very similar to the basic idea of pixel art.

zeki Posted December 25, 2013 Amazing layout! I just love the way it is arranged and so many details on such a small moc! Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted December 25, 2013 The micro scale is impressive. I love all of the little details throughout. It would fit well within a winner village. But I don't think it will work for the contest. It looks way too big compared to the rules. Keep up the great work though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galaktek Posted December 26, 2013 Thank you all for your kind comments! I'm glad you enjoyed looking at it as much as I enjoyed building it. It's funny, I wasn't thinking about reproducing Lego vehicles when I built it, but I can see what y'all mean -- I guess I've seen the Lego sets so often that if I build a micro truck or train, it comes out in those colors :) TheLegoDr, I do hope it will work for the contest, since it's four 8x8 modules, plus minifigs. But either way it was fun to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon_S Posted December 26, 2013 Hey Galaktet! I love to look to this build. It must be the third time I visited this topic, but I didn't comment before. There are so many nice details and piece usages. I also like the micro christmas tree . I hope that it works (why shouldn't it?) for the contest and wish you best of luck!

majorna Posted December 26, 2013 Fantastic detail, and I love the modular element of this build. The freight yard and factory are my favorite. Good luck in the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted December 26, 2013 ^True, the stipulation of 4 8x8 modules might let it fit right in. I was always confused by that bit, so I just went with a 16x16 for mine. Either way, best of luck. It is definitely a neat build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin8 Posted December 27, 2013 This is stunning. Just stunning! Great work, full of details even in such little dimensions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
