rodiziorobs Posted December 31, 2015 View the whole Flickr album It's the latest addition to the Winter Village series, the historic Winter Covered Bridge! Build the covered bridge and drive the truck through to cross the icy river (*river not included). There is something for everyone along the country road by the historic covered bridge. Help the two city workers get ready for the holidays as they decorate by hanging wreaths and strings of lights, and by changing the lampposts to festive colors! Join the kids in an epic snowball fight! Or spend time with the romantic couple as they share a walk through the trees and enjoy a box of tasty chocolates! Drive the vintage truck up and down through the covered bridge. Set includes 6 minifigures including two workers, two kids, and romantic couple. Set includes unique lamppost with different color bulbs, park bench, and two different brick-built pine trees. Accessories include a toolbox, box of chocolates, four wreaths, ladder, and a string of Christmas lights. See more by rodiziorobs on Flickr Thanks for looking, comments and criticism welcome! Good luck to all contest entrants! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacerSteve Posted December 31, 2015 Well done. This would fit nicely into the holiday village. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New_guy Posted December 31, 2015 Nice work. I like the paneling detail on the outside of the bridge. I think the scale is nice also. Even though the men are in the process of decorating, I think the bridge would "fit" the village theme better if it was decorated more festively (maybe a wreath or two or a string of lights). Good luck in the contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willworkfortoys Posted December 31, 2015 Terrific! I especially like the trees and the poor sap getting hit with the snow ball. Been there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paperballpark Posted January 1, 2016 Nicely done! Having visited New England I love covered bridges, although as far as I'm aware they're almost completely confined to that area. Certainly they're totally unknown in Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redhead1982 Posted January 1, 2016 I didn't read the title at first, and thought you made a wooden garage for the car. We don't have covered bridges here, so that was a bit of a surprise. The idea is nice, and the bridge walls are great looking. I like how you included two different designs for the trees, however I prefer the round one more. Well done!

rodiziorobs Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Thanks everyone for the comments! Admittedly covered bridges aren't abundant everywhere in the world (there are none where I currently live, either), but whenever I see non-Lego winter village displays it seems like there is always a covered bridge. Given that the contest challenge was to find something Lego hasn't made as an official WV set yet, it seemed like a void waiting to be filled. That and they're so charming I've been wanting to do one for my own display for awhile, and am pretty pleased with how it turned out. I like how you included two different designs for the trees, however I prefer the round one more. Thanks! I actually built about six completely different tree kinds this year for my own display, but some of the others were too big to include in this entry! I might make a separate thread to show them off later. Edited January 1, 2016 by rodiziorobs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
