sweetsha Posted December 13, 2014 Hi everyone, Here is my entry for the Expand the Winter Village Contest V - the Christmas frozen fountain : A lovely place for Santa and Gingerbread Man to practice ice-skating Below the details of the different elements - I tried to keep the spirit of official winter sets : Yeti feeding his cat : Holiday elves riding a sledge driven by the fastest penguins of the North pole : And of course the fountain : Hope you'll like it. Comments and remarks are welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted December 13, 2014 I DO like it. Such cute holiday scenes, I like the penguin sled and ice skating the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yooha Posted December 13, 2014 Actually there are no penguins in the North Pole. But in a fairy-tale, anything can happen. And the sledge looks very cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted December 13, 2014 Very cute! Round is hard to pull off, but you did it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heksu Posted December 13, 2014 Excellent! So cool fountain and interesting characters around it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted December 13, 2014 Good looking entry. It looks like plenty of thought has gone into the detailing. I particularly like the greebles you've added to the lower edge of the rink and, of course, the statue at the rear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetsha Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks for your comments ! Well I learned something about penguins - let's say these two are travellers ^^ Note - damn I made a mistake while writing this thread's title, now my eyes are bleeding :-/ How can I edit it ? When I edit the main post I cannot change the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted December 13, 2014 How can I edit it ? When I edit the main post I cannot change the title. You can't. I corrected it for you though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trisha Posted December 13, 2014 Wow how lovely. Everything looks quite polished if you know what I mean. Great job with the fountain! Working with rounds things is hard and you pulled it off really nicely. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManInATopHat Posted December 13, 2014 Awesome! I love the details on the fountain's edge, wonderfully festive colour choices. The statue is also awesome. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickRally217 Posted December 13, 2014 Gosh, everyone's entry is better than mine! Tough competition this year. I love all the details, the penguin sled is very well done. The white and the pearl gold really pop. Good luck in the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted December 14, 2014 This is gorgeous!! The arch over the bench is perfect and the penguins too cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 14, 2014 Great! And I think the penguins are perfectly alright (all along with Yeti & co). Good to see how you have created a round fountain (out of all these straight bricks). Brick on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArchitectureFan Posted December 14, 2014 Très très bien! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabor Posted December 14, 2014 Nice! The penguins are fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zed_43 Posted December 15, 2014 Hey really nice MOC sweetsha! I like all that humor you placed in your creation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnbricker Posted December 15, 2014 Love the penguins! Instantly recognizable and not too big/high. Could you snap a pic of a half-assembled penguin or of the parts? I'd live to try and put one together myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetsha Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks everyone for your kind comments Could you snap a pic of a half-assembled penguin or of the parts? I'd live to try and put one together myself. Here you are, poor quality pic but it explains how I build them - nothing complicated you just need to own these black tiny curved slope pieces, other pieces are pretty common.

Fangorn Posted December 25, 2014 Very creative-- love the Yeti and the archway thing (is there a special name for those?) The fountain just plain rocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3BrickFriends Posted December 29, 2014 Lovely round fountain design. There seems to be a clash of ideas between the running water of the fountain and the ice skating, but its still a really fun MOC. The penguins are cool pulling the elves too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted January 6, 2015 Great work, the concept of a frozen fountain is really neat and you did a good job bricking it! I also really like the use of wings, and that little sled is the perfect shape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CityBuilder Posted January 6, 2015 The statue with the frozen water coming out is very nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
