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).

Hi everyone, I'd like to share with you my diorama for this year, It's the first time I've created such a thing and it's been a lot of fun and joy..and some frustration, because I wasn't sure I was going to finish it before Christmas. Luckily, I did. For some reason, I wasn't able to upload the photos here, but here's a link to my flickr album. The quality of the photos could be better, but I still hope you'll enjoy them, Happy Holidays!

Call me crazy. This year I'm making custom Lego Advent calendars. Every year we seem to buy two of the 3-4 available Lego advent calendars for my two girls, and we usually end up disappointed. Apart from the minifigs, the builds are usually a little too close the micro build size for us and a little too far away form the mini build size. In addition, the parts usually just end up in my "parts" pile and no one ever really builds those models ever again. This year I'm going to make it a little more fun. (Hopefully) The first mini build I've designed is this fountain. All of the models will have some use (every year hereafter!) in our small Winter Village. Since I have two girls, I'll have to make more than the usual 24 builds. Some days will be one each, others will be a "you need to work together to make this one" build. Wish me luck. If you're at all interested in building this model, the building guide I'll be giving the girls with this one is on my site: http://www.charlesp.org

Maybe a little early to be thinking about Christmas and the Winter Village, but I've updated my 2016 Old Red Truck MOC using some new techniques and newer parts. I've also made a pdf instruction manual that you can get for free at Rebrickable. Others to follow.

I've been working on my Christmas village the past couple months and I've finally finished (at least for this year ;). I've been coming to this site for about a year or so and I've really enjoyed seeing everyone's creations and they definitely helped inspired me for this village. Special thanks to @mouseketeer's Holiday Train additions and @alex54's sidewalk idea, they both added so much to my scene. I used the major Lego Winter sets like the Post Office, train, bakery, toy shop, cottage, and market, but then also added some City sets and just winterized them like the train station and corner deli. The big thing I added was the ski slope with train tunnel underneath. First time building something like that and it came crashing down quite a few times as I was learning how to make it sturdy. Here is a video of the village as well as some of my favorite pics. If you want to see all my pics, you can look at the album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/42918210@N02/albums/72157673805943793/with/31192649580/ Holiday train pulling into the station: A good look at the additional train cars designed by @mouseketeer This is a good look at how I winterized my train station and you can see my traffic signals and the sidewalks inspired by @alex54.

The Glass Blower is showing off his skills for the village kids. The interior is a shop on the first floor with living space above: The interior of the workshop features a light brick in the furnace. Thanks for looking!

Built for the 7th annual Expand the Winter Village Contest. All the doors open, there is a pop out ice block function, and a secret compartment under the house for hiding presents. The building itself was inspired by this model. It was quite an enjoyable build process, especially the wooden porch section. The ice house is particularly busy in the winter months, as blocks of ice are cut and then put into the storage shack to await delivery via truck to customers’ homes. Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt Thanks for looking, C&C welcome!

Includes 1 vehicle, Vintage Dropside Steam Truck inspired by a 1930s Sentinel S4 Steam Waggon. Looks pretty plain doesn't it, Wait until you get inside.

Where to begin with the Fully enclosed interior, Features a wide range of tools and a (brick built)? Clothes rail where you can purchase workwear.

Although a Winter Village Contest doesn't seem to have popped up this year There is a Winter Village competition after all! I decided to spend my afternoon and evening today coming up with my attempt to expand the LEGO Winter Village. I'd been collecting pieces for this for a while, and it finally seemed time to sit down and do something with them! Earlier this year I got the one WV set I was missing (the Post Office), and had the realisation that if I want my Winter Village to keep growing by more than one set a year, I'd have to design some things myself! I've already built a Winter Village Church (https://www.flickr.com/photos/146006635@N03/albums/72157672738224763), now here's my second addition: a Winter Village Chocolate Factory. My goal with this was to make it as close to what an official Winter Village set might be, so I made sure to match it in scale and part count to the official sets, and include some supplementary builds with the hot cocoa van, the chocolate house sculpture, and the festive lights. There are also play features! The handle on the interior makes the Christmas wreaths rotate above the door outside. I've also included chocolate bars for sale on the shelves, mugs hanging behind the counter for hot cocoa, and even a chocolate fountain with marshmallows on sticks! And just like the official sets, it includes a light brick! In this case it lights up the boiler, used to melt the cauldron of chocolate pieces ready for the hot drinks! Just over a month ago I had a go at making some extra cars for the Winter Holiday Train (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/142031-modmoc-expanding-the-10254-winter-holiday-train/#comment-2682886) and got some great responses to my Hot Cocoa Tanker. I like to imagine this van works for the same company, shuttling hot cocoa around the Winter Village!

Every rail line needs a train station and this one lets passengers from Eastern Ontario, where my Winter Village is located, travel to the North Pole to visit Santa’s Workshop. There are a few old Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railway Stations in Ontario that have a large round architectural element to them and this was the inspiration for my MOC. A cast iron wood stove warms the inside of the train station that is decorated for Christmas. I have included some photos of my Winter Steam Engine train as well. Hope you enjoy and have a very Happy Holiday Season! image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image b y Kareimage by 2 by Karen Metz, on FlickrKaren Metz, on Flickrn Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr image by Karen Metz, on Flickr There is no indoor plumbing so an outhouse was required.

Another X-Mas competition, another entry. I do love this compo :) The Globe Tavern always holds the best Christmas & New Year parties. The fancy dress New Years Eve party is huge in the Winter Village, even the staff get involved! The two stalls always do a brisk business in Mulled Wine & Hot Dogs for the journey home afterwards. As you can see the party is in full swing! The red light brick hits the disco ball and the Christmas mix fills the dance floor. The ground floor features a lovely fireplace (working light brick), spiral staircase & dart board - Oh and don't forget a fine selection of beverages ! The Upper Floor is where the banging tunes of MC Santy keep everyone happily dancing. The two stalls - who doesn't like a Hot-Dog or Mulled Wine on a Winters night? Anyway thanks for looking. I wasn't sure about entering a tavern in the compo but after the success of last years brewery, it seems the townsfolk like a warming nightcap! I'd usually wish all a Happy Christmas at this point but as tonight is 12th night, maybe a belated hope that all had a happy holidays will suffice!

Last year I found pictures of a really cool Winter Village display that had a ski mountain. In a cut away of the mountain you could see inside and there was a cave with the Yeti mini-figure and the Ice Fisherman mini-figure. It was really cool, the cave had a small pond that the Fisherman was fishing in. Does anyone remember this display and have a link or pictures of it? Or has anyone else built a Yeti's cave they'd like to share? -
Not sure if anyone else is getting into the Holiday spirit already or if it's too early for many of you, but I surely am. Here is my updated Winter Village Cider Mill, so far in digital version, and still needs interior built out, but here is the reveal of it. I will post updates with more pictures to come. Winter Village Cider Mill Revisited cheers all, Miro

This is my year's Winter Village addition, a train station. Something that has been missing from the Winter Village, so I chose to build one. The station consists of a clock tower and a cover platform, with an extension platform that can be removed if so desired via technic pin connections. The interior is furnished with a counter, a register, newspapers to buy, a mailbox on the right side and a Christmas tree, bench and an old style phone on the left. There are stairs for entry and a clock to finish it off.

Winter Village: Winter Cottage Christmas day came and happy kids run out of their cottage to play. They built a fort and throw snowballs at each other. Some of the kids ice-skate. Only the old guy in the hood wasn't to happy about the amount of the snow he need to clean :P

Winter Village Station_4 Introduction Lego have released two trains and a lot of nice buildings for the winter village, but it still misses a nice place to stop. This is a station with a nice clock tower with two bells so that the citizens can keep track on the time during the Christmas shopping. Inside the station building there is a waiting room, full ticket booth and a small workshop in the tower for maintaining the clock and the bells. On the right side of the station you have a nice fountain and the train schedule. As you can see in the pictures this would be a very nice supplement for the old holiday train (10173) and this years new winter village set (10254). Basic Info Approx Dimensions: Length 62 cm x Width 12.8 cm x Height 37,4 cm Number of pieces (with minifigs, without track): 1200 Clock print: 17038 Input and support will be appreciated. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/154973 Winter Village Station_with Train Winter Village Station_Detail

Hi everyone, this is my entry to the Winter Village contest: The "Tea 'n Tomes" is the Winter Village's place to read an exciting book and drink a hot cup of tea on a cold winter's day. It's a public library where you can also get some of the finest tea selection. The books on the teapot outside can be taken away for free. I hope you like it!

Hello everyone, Here is my entry into the Winter Village competition. Because of the new Winter Village train, we need a station so there is somewhere for the train to stop! I used this train station in my own Winter Village display this year, so I took extra care to make sure the scale of the building matched the other buildings from Lego's official Winter Village sets. This was not as easy as it sounds. There is a tendency for me (and many others, I think) to make our MOCs large and grande. It is difficult to be restrained in the size of our builds. IMG_0511-001 by James Altland, on Flickr For some reason, the system will not allow more photos to be posted. So I will post this one for now, and perhaps more later. Thank you for looking! Okay, I'm new to posting photos on this site. So I'm trying to add a few more photos, even though they may be too late for consideration in the Winter Village competition.

This is my entry for the Winter Village Contest. The department store has four departments, Food, Home, Clothes and Toys. While it is at the larger end of Winter Village models, I have tried to make its design consistent with the official sets in the series using similar colours and elements such as the black lampposts. The food department has fresh fruit and vegetables, bakery, cans and cereals meat including Christmas turkey and fridges full of cartons. The home department has dishes pots and pans, mugs, a coffee machine, crystal glasses, Christmas decorations, flowers and luggage. The clothing department is mostly made up of mannequins and some other folder clothing The final department is toys, consisting of a teddy bear, space ship, a train set and other toys as well as Santa and his presents. Thank you for looking, and sorry about the bad pictures!

Here is my entry for the 7th Annual Expand the Winter Village Contest. It is a veterinary clinic and pet adoption center. The main building comes with three separate rooms. The first room is for the pets to stay warm by the fire (with working light brick) while they wait to be adopted. The second room is the reception area where pet owners wait to be seen by the vet. The third room is the vet's office where she treats her furry patients. The set also comes with an outdoor adoption area where families can come find a precious new pet for the holidays. Additionally, this set comes with a handful of minifigures, pets and two brick-built snow animals. I hope you enjoy it! Main Overview Front Adoption Center Vet's Office Waiting Area Hope you enjoy!

Hi, this is my entry for this year Expand The Winter Village Contest. Church is slightly slower than 32 x 32. Base plate is just about 40 x 32. This year I made an interior. :-) Details are available in this gallery.
