Welcome to the North Pole!

Two years ago my little son asked me to build something for Christmas. I only had a few dozens of white bricks and an official winter toy shop set, but tried my best. Everyone in the family loved the small diorama so I decided to build one in every year. Last year it was a generic small winter town with a train, but this time I wanted something else. The new idea was Santa's house at the North Pole! This diorama was exhibited a few times during the autumn so I hid some easter eggs for the visitors - children loved to find them and it was a huge fun for everyone. It is displayed in our living room now and the content changes dinamically - my little daughter rearrange the minifigures every day!

Everyone's details are always so interesting.  Demonic elf with an ax was the most unexpected in your diorama.

Cheers!

Clever idea. A bit different than a usual winter village set-up. I like some of the Easter eggs, although I'm not sure I found them all.

I hadn't thought of accumulating a lot of Svens for reindeer instead of the brick built versions. Other than his goofy smile, they work quite well.

Well done. I like that it's different from te WV theme. The stable doors are lovely, and Sven is a great substitute for a brick-built reindeer. I would try to add more Elf cottages, and perhaps at angles to make it look more organic. The fact that your children get ghe chance to move the minifigs around freely is another bonus, demonstrating playability and fun of the MOC.

He would be the Grinch and aiming the christmas tree :)

Snow Chewie, Olaf, Jon Snow with Ghost and Jan Beyer. And children sometimes called the Grinch as easter egg too :)

Unfortunately I ran out of small white plates, needed to use 16x16 ones and it made to place the cottages difficult.

 

Thank you for the comments, somehow I missed them earlier.
