Winter Village: Gasthaus (Moving Nativity Scene)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

This building is stuffed with power functions and lights, so please take a look at more pictures and movies on my flickr.

Short movie: see here.

More detailed shots (but poorer quality - I have some problems with camera): see here.

I was inspired by special kind of nativity scenes called "Kraków szopka" (see here). However final result looks rather like "Gasthaus".

I should mention that all elements are powered by one Lego motor. And they could be driven manually by one crank.

And this is my first creation where Lego Technic parts (gears etc.) are doing their proper work (they are not used just for decorations).

This looks great!  I particularly like the way Gizmo's balcony is done, though I'm curious what Gizmo's role is.

Thanks! I started to worry that nobody likes it.

According to flickr statistic only about 10% people visiting this post have seen the movie showing how it moves. Maybe I should post some warning that it is a moving toy.

Well, I was looking for some Christmas-themed figs. And "Gremlins" is some kind of Christmas movie. There are more figs on this balcony.

Thanks! You brought back my memories. My parents were having this kind of weather station and I completely forgot about it.

Great detailing throughout and has a wonderful warm holiday feeling. It feels like an antique family heirloom in style. Congrats!

Thanks! You gave me new perspective - I never thought about it as about "antique family heirloom". Actually I didn't know the word "heirloom". But there is something about it...

Most impressive, love the moving features :thumbup:

Thank you. I'm still afraid that most people didn't even notice that there are moving features.
