My first contest! I wanted to enter into last year's Winter Village contest, but didn't have any ideas at the time. Shortly after this year's contest was announced, I had a flash of inspiration and decided to enter. So, I present to you, the Winter Village Train Depot! Here's the whole layout. This would be the biggest Winter Village set yet were it to be produced, with a large platform and a couple of pieces of railroad track to go along with the main building, the outlying lamp and picnic table, and the hand cart. There are also nine minifigures: The conductor, maintenance man, ticketing rep, and six travelers waiting for the next train. The icicles were something I had not seen before, and worked out better than I had initially envisioned. An alternate shot of the main structure from the other side. I used the masonry bricks for the foundation, and was partly inspired by a few real life buildings in this regard. As with the existing Winter Village sets, I incorporated a light brick. This one is a bit different in that it projects outdoors, illuminating the lamp above the front door. A shot of the interior, where the ticketing rep is hiding. I built the fireplace and other interior details to be as consistent as I could with the previous sets in this line. A closer view of the interior to show off a couple of the simple details I'm proudest of in this build: The bow around the support pole, the SNOT-built bubblegum machine. and the cozy corner with a different type of brick built tree. The chairs behind the counter are brick-built and the hearth of the fireplace faces the front door, but they were difficult to photograph. There are more pics, including a building from which I drew inspiration, in my Brickshelf folder: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=518699
