lookl Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Here is one special building among the buildings in a Winter Village. Here you cannot meet Santa Claus, you cannot see elves or pat a reindeer. Here you cannot see how elves produce toys and you cannot buy Christmas gingerbreads. But only here you can get something really special – many wonderful moments spent with your family and friends! In Family Christmas Workshop generations work together to create the most beautiful Christmas decorations. Among a laughter and shouts of joy and excitement here are made beautiful ornaments: paper chains, hand-painted balls, Christmas tree hangers made of clay and crackers. These made with love decorations are not only beautiful Christmas ornaments but also are beautiful souvenirs of time spent with family. In my work I tried to build a mountain cottage in the most realistic way. The cottage is made of wooden logs and its sloping roof is based on the construction of wooden beams. The fireplace was made of stones in different shapes and colors. You can also see wooden walls and the floor made of stones in the inside of the cottage. The interior is fulfilled with wooden furniture: the long and massive table, the bench covered with sheep’s skin, and the decorated bookcase. I also provided an easy access to the inside of the cottage: there’s no back wall, it is easy to take the roof off and you can open the half of one of side walls. As you can see in the photos the minifigs are satisfied with my work and they are working as hard as I was during building my MOC ;).

fred67 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Excellent work, the build of the house is really nice. Good job. I have to wonder if Grandma was last seen last Christmas when she went to get the presents she hid under the house. EDIT: I also like how you did the wrapping paper!

peedeejay Posted December 20, 2015 Superb build with great atmosphere! Hard to spot a brick which is not SNOTed. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted December 20, 2015 Nice! Lots of detail, with great atmosphere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ER0L Posted December 20, 2015 Fantastic! Haven't seen such a great building for quite a while. :thumbup: The build is really stuffed with techniques, plus the whole thing has a very sophisticated structure. All those details are the icing (or should I say icicles) on the cake. The scene is very nice, too. What really impresses me is the effect of the snotted snow on the roof - looks much better than snow with studs in my opinion. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted December 20, 2015 Lovely scene with a charming and warm atmosphere... Nice usage of the S14 Monster Scientist head here. Grandma is missing but she is probably baking some cookies I have to wonder if Grandma was last seen last Christmas when she went to get the presents she hid under the house. OH NOOO! Granpa did it! Look at his face! He is a creeper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunhuntin Posted December 21, 2015 lovely display. i really like the christmas tree out front, the wrapping paper. the lights caught my eye first. love how youve color coordinated the studs with the pieces the attach to.. how are the icicles done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KlodsBrik Posted December 21, 2015 Great build. So colourful. That thick layer of snow on the roof looks great. The interior with everybody sitting around the table making decorations and wrapping up presents (?), looks fantastic. Lovely creation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted December 21, 2015 Lovely creation, inside and out. Love the roof gutters, the roof, the icicles and all the detailing. Perhaps slightly overboard on the greebles of the chimney. Keep clicking those bricks together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted December 21, 2015 ^^ Yes, I should have commented on the icicles, I really like how they were done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palixa And The Bricks Posted December 22, 2015 Great idea! I really like the atmosphere on the inside. There's so much going on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoPercyJ Posted December 22, 2015 Looks great! I like the way you did the outside- using those parts to make it look like wooden logs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Wren Posted December 23, 2015 I love the sense of organised chaos around the table - which is a common theme in many family homes at this time of year! The log cabin and icicles and tree are also great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lookl Posted January 4, 2016 ^^ Yes, I should have commented on the icicles, I really like how they were done. Just connected this parts: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
