    Don't hold your breath the link below is NOT the new set. I am unsure if a big tram would fit the buildings tbh. I'd rather have a small tram that looks more like this: LEGO Winter Village Tram for the holidays! (thebrickblogger.com) Or in my case a tram with horses, I'm more into the dickensian style of buildings and stuff.

    They had no problems with the Taj Mahal. With its symbolic it has -at least- something to do with the hindu god Shiva and on the other hand it is called the jewel of Muslim art in India, so a combination of two religions. I know it's a mausoleum and not a mosque or church but it's religious none the less. Lego released graveyards sets lego Set 4766 semi mausoleum style. If there was a church in one on the Harry Potter movies and it would have been importend for it then they would have done a church, I'm sure.

    If you want to drive him nutz, you can guide him to do the carrusel too: Have fun!

    100$ Oho! My "Winter Village Cottage Alarm bell is ringing", please no remamke of that one. I would rather see somethink like a winter bookshop or maybe a shop that sells christmas ornaments and nutcrackers and stuff. Or as a funny addition the house of Scrooge&Marley with a lil Ebenezer minifig ...

    On the "Facebook lego winter village" page is the front and back cover. I don't think it really fits the time line of the other smaller sets. Will get it though.

    Big.... mmmh, oh I got it! It's a set including the remake of the backery and post office. Do we know the setnumber yet?

    Over at the brickset forums someone postet: I heard that Marcos worked on this year's Christmas set, describing it as 'big.' Whatever that might mean....

    Ah, I'm pretty late for that... but it's never too late I suppose. I'm all in for the idea to have a train station this year, well actually I'm all in for any idea, as long as it's not a toy shop. Found this one here on "ideas", that would be a good start I think: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/163876 But I would be "ok" with this one too: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/165844 ;o)

    I used 2 different leds. For the candle effect in the sleigh I used - well - led candles which I bought in one of these 1 € shops. I think it was 4 candles for 1€. The the other lights are 0805 smd leds. http://www.led1.de/s...d-bauform-0805/ I used a 6 channel chasing light. Channel 1-4 for the roof, channel 5 for Rudolphs nose and 6 for the toy machine. I had it flying around for over a year, so I used it for this set. In the carousel I made a 10 channel one by myself. When you get older you get lazy ;) http://www.conrad.de...ef=searchDetail All powered with a Fujitsu 19v powersupply. You have to wire them, just put double sided tape on a metal plate, put the smd led on it and wire the cables, I put some extra superglue on the wires and the led for stability reasons. I used a 1mm drill to drill the holes. If you want to know how I did the carousel thing just click the link in my signature.

    Yeah, there should be one spare trans red 1x1 in th box included. But anyways, I couldn't wait till december so I put everything together for a quick test. I just found out the first booth didn't have light, so I fixed the loose wire. Damn you wires! I need a 1,8meter woodboard. It's getting way too long... And here is the diorama in all it's blinking beauty... I didn't put in all details and mini-figs, I have to save something for Christmas ;)

    Welcome HO-HO-Home After last year's carousel insanity I was happy to see less LED options in 10245 Santas Workshop, so here it is, the 2014 edition of finishlast christmas... Unfortunatelly the toy machine seems to be broken... Here is the blinking layout in action. I'll update this post when I put the whole diorama together later in december, it should fit somewhere in here at least I hope so.. Merry Christmas (soon)

    OK, for me every christmas set means illumintation, so I tried to count up the needed light sources. The machine needs a 2channel blinker red and green. 1x red 1x green Santa's sleight needs 2 tealight LEDs. Rudolph obviously a blinking red nose. 2x tealight LEDs 1x red blinking LED There is no?!?!? light inside the house. The interior. Well. So we better add a light of some sort with 2 LEDs. 2xwhite 8channel chasinglight on the roof. 1x red 1x pink 2x green 2x orange 2x blue Lamps on the walls 3x yellow: left lamp 2 and on the right side 1. Christmastree 2x red 2x yellow ************ So we should need: 2x blue 4x red 1x pink 5x yellow 3x green 2x orange 2x white Special LED 2x electric tealight LED 1x red blinker for Rudolph Blinker transparent red 1x1 or just a round led So all in all 22 LEDs, did I miss anything?
  15. finishlast
    No big chance that the interior will be something like this? https://amodularlife...aa4672c32_b.jpg https://www.flickr.c...ickabrad/page3/ Ok the set won't go under 3000$...
  16. finishlast
    I guess I will need up to 20-25 LEDs for this set so this is a piece of cake compared to the illumination of the caroussel last year which was like 80 leds. I really need a transparent red plate for Rudolph with a blinking led. I hope it's under 100€. I don't really mind the fake reindeers I can place them in front of a garden as christmas decorations or something.

    So after weeks of festive work I'm done for this year, so take a look at its final destination (over the television) I hope it was at least a bit interesting for you!
  18. finishlast
    Thanks but I fear what Lego is going to come up with next year! Less lights I hope! Please! Shudders.
  19. finishlast
    Lovely, indeed. I have to figure out how to place the diorama above my tv. It about's 1,5 meters long - eh - about 5 feet. I think I have to buy some wood board on monday. All work and no play makes finishlat a dull boy. Mmmh christmas markets... mmmh remember happiness is just a Flaming Moe away.
  20. finishlast
    Ok boys and girls I put everything together to test it, here's the preview of the diorama. Enjoy!

    I finished the caroussel display part, my wife told me to do something against the "epileptic" lights.... or she doesn't allow me to place it in the living room ;) OH DEAR. So I had to make another switch for the caroussel lights itself. It is green and placed next to the red one. Well now I can decide to run the caroussel with lights, without lights, or not moving or whatever. I seriously need a break!!! Anyways, now I have to place the last 2 booths somewhere and I'm done for this year. ROCK'N ROLL!!!!
  22. finishlast
    OK then, I placed everything on the bigger diorama "part"-base and got the switch into place. I can now stop and start the motor by pushing the red emergency button, the button concept works very well. I connected everthing and put some light into Gandalf's - eh - Santa's street lamps.
  23. finishlast
    There's no space in the base of the caroussel, so you would need to somehow wire the 48leds to the top if you really want to be able to light every single led via microcontroller, I don't see a place for the arduino except in the top part. I placed 10 transistors in the top and it's already only little space left. Maybe the next winter set will give us more space for fancy arduino fun. A max7219 with 64 channels could do the trick. 8x8 Matrix with max7219 and arduino. But then again.. getting the matrix wired wouldn't be that easy. Placed the motor to the right side, so now I can move the caroussel more to the back of the diorama. I know its too fast, I aIready changed that and integrated it into a larger base plate and soldered everything into place. Next thing I have to come up with is a custom motor switch. Oh dear, will this ever end?! I think I move the other 2 booths somewhere in the other bases. Will have to --- sleep over it ;D OK. Slept over it. I came up with this, oh well.
  24. finishlast
    Yes, but that would mean 62 leds. So you would have to handle 124 wires. I think you'll get a problem with space and a major headache. But I would love to see that anyway!
  25. finishlast
    Looking pretty slick. You still need a way to get the power from the base to the top. My rotor/brush system works better than expected, the caroussel is running for 30 minutes now without problems. I think I will try to get a seperate switch for the motor into a 2x8 brick, but I dont have a god idea where to start. I'll sleep over it.
