Winter Village Cottage Automobile Garage

[Murdoch17]

After seeing the pictures of the Winter Village Cottage (set 10229), I decided there was one thing missing: a garage to store the Cottage owner's car! I then made the building as close as possible to the original set without knowing the instructions. This posed a problem with the roof, but I'm confident it will work.

Now onto the Pictures!

The dark green windows are only avalible in the cottage, so technicaly, this model is unbuildable... for now.

The side view showcases the fact that I kept the look of the original building as much as possible.

Oh, and I also kept the wood shed out back.

It seems Grandpa keeps his pride 'n' joy in here: a '57 Plymouth Fury, which fits perfectly into the garage.

The roof is removable for access.

This shot lets you compare my model with the official LEGO one.

LXF is in this link.

Enjoy!

Neat little build and a fine addition the the cottage.

My one issue, with such a tight fit, how can he get out of the car once he pulls it in there?

Otherwise, brilliant!

Yes, the car can roll out of the garage. In the 3rd to last pic, the doors were not opened all the way, so its seems it can't fit. However, If you look closely at the second to last picture, you can see the door's hinges. This door hinge, when opened all the way, sets the doors as straight as the walls, and at the same width. Oh, and if your town is set further back in time, the 1922 Moon I built fits too. Or, if you are from the UK, any of my '59 Ford Anglia's fit nicley too.

Enjoy!
