Recommended Posts

Good day!

Here's my contest entry: Victorian era tools and candy shops on Christmas eve:

Christmas spirit on the street - carolers singing, hot chestnuts are being sold, both stores are decorated (as well as street lamps):

We have four different compartments inside: in the bottom left is well equipped tool shop, next to it is a candy shop with decorated Christmas tree and candies on shelves. In the upper left room is fully loaded table waiting on a Christmas dinner and in the top right corner a family is decorating a tree. There is also a grandmother clock in there. All four compartments have a fire place:

Everything (except the carriage) is mostly (in about 95%) built out of bricks from 4 official Lego sets: Winter Village Bakery, Toy Shop, Post Office and Cottage...

Nice! I like how you did the shopfront on the hardware store.

Really nice!

I especially like the Christmas decorations, the interiors, the snow on the lampposts and the carriage.

Good chimneys, too. I like the fact you combined lbg/dbg with dark tan and flesh. Looks great.

Best of luck, and keep clicking those bricks together!

You did a great job creating this very busy scene with a rather limited selection of parts. The hardware store's front window looks beautiful, however my favourite part is the candy store interiors. I have a bit of sweet tooth. :blush:

Great build but is't it to much 'town like' for a Winter Willage? Two big street buildings beside small cabin-like houses... I think it is a bit out of place. If this contest was just about winter themed models, I'd give this nothing but thumbs up.

christmas in 4 rooms... 1 working all year towards christmas, 2 cooking together for a wonderful christmas diner, 3 a table ready for the family and a great christmas diner, 4 the living to come together with the whole family.

love this "little part of" the street, very nice and recognizable theme with a warm feeling...

Ha, does give me indeed a feel for the 'christmas spirit', while time has actually already passed.

Good job! Really nice!

Thank you for your kind comments!

Well, I built it as a store + one apartment on top, so it's a similar concept as other WV sets, except it's a bit bigger :classic: ... It's also built as a sole structure, so you can think of it as the main building (or one of the main ones) at the centre of the village :classic:
