Skalldyr Posted November 29, 2010 Hi there, I present you my entry for the Winter Village Contest. It's a winter wonderland in this snow-covered little town! The lake is already frozen and the bridge covered in snow. An old man is selling Mulled wine, while the postman arrives with its delivery sleigh. At the Store, the friendly owner has everything important you need to make music and a customer arrives with his violin. Two kids are playing in the snow. Includes 7 minifigures, and lots of winter accessories. Today the first snow fell. I couldn't resist to take a few pictures outside. I hope you enjoyed what you saw. EDIT: I made a tutorial for the violin/guitar case at Brickshelf....can give you deeplinks! --> [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrlegoninja Posted November 29, 2010 Very nice! I really like the bridge on the left, and the interior of the shop is great. Oh, and I see you have been "Fellowafied" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted November 30, 2010 I love the violin case, thats so original. Also your sleigh is a great use of those whips. Two techniques I've never seen before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted November 30, 2010 Real Snow! Awesome presentation Skalldyr! Taking the photos in the real snow setting is a fantastic idea, makes the build more realistic. There are a lot of interesting elements in this entry to be liked about - the mini-bridge over icy water, the effective use of the whips for the sleigh, and the cleverly-built violin case. Great job overall and best of luck in the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cecilie Posted November 30, 2010 So many nice details. I feel I'll just be repeating everyone else, but that bridge is great, and the sleigh is pure genius. And I actually thought the violin case was en existing piece I didn't know about until I read the comments about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted November 30, 2010 Nice idea for a store Skalldyr and I really like the little scenes surrounding it. The guitar case is brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Posted November 30, 2010 I love it! Great little scenes and an excellent addition to the series. I especially like the sleigh design using the whips. Very innovative use of parts. Great work! -Davey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickcitydepot Posted November 30, 2010 Nice job on this one. I like the package art you whipped up and the bridge is a really cool add on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre Posted November 30, 2010 So many nice details. I feel I'll just be repeating everyone else, but that bridge is great, and the sleigh is pure genius. And I actually thought the violin case was en existing piece I didn't know about until I read the comments about it Ditto! LOL! It looks like a molded piece in that first pic and I thought "Great, how did I miss out on such a cool piece?!?!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddy Posted November 30, 2010 Great entry! It was a good idea to build a music store. I too particualrly like the use of whips as sleigh runners and the bridge on the left. And I also like that you have taken pictures of it out in the snow. Very well done. ~buddy~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted December 1, 2010 This is one of my new favourites! I love the mail cart, and the interior is very nicely laid out. The roof is the best par though. It really brings the scene together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
