CM4Sci Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Hello everybody! I'm here to present my entry to this year's Expand the Winter Village Contest, the Winter Village Sweet Shoppe! On the outside we have light yellow walls accompanied by a brick pattern along the bottom. Rounded windows, snowy rooftops, festive decorations and a chimney are all included! On the inside there is a nice, warm fireplace that lights up, barrels of candy and sweets and a checkout counter with treats on display. Upstairs is a bedroom for the gingerbread man (or whoever owns the place.) Back outside, the street lamp has an owl on top of it. Aside is a snow blower I included in my entry last year, I just love it so much I couldn't get rid of it. That's pretty much my entry! Hope you guys enjoyed it, maybe even vote for it! Thanks for looking! -Sci Edited December 31, 2014 by CM4Sci Quote
adotnamedstud Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Nice work! Really impressive. And the photo quality is excellent! Quote
Lady K Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 This is really cute! I love the round window. I love the minifigs you chose with their sweets. Nice interior details too. Quote
Robert8 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Wonderful! Outstanding MOC. Charming design and execution. As NuffSaid1996 said, the pictures are great. They look like pictures from a press release of an official LEGO product Congratulations! (We need Mrs. Claus in the CMF line ASAP ) Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Cute snow blower and neat little shop too......good luck and Brick On 'CM4Sci' ! Quote
Kristel Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 This is great! I love the round window and the fireplace. Quote
Leopold Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Great choice of minifigs! The gingerbread guy and yeti fit in surprisingly well with the Christmas theme. Quote
Andy D Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Very nice! Excellent addition to the Winter Village. Andy D Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I agree:Excellent addition to the Winter Village. I love the snow blower! Quote
Emma Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Great work CM4Sci - this would fit perfectly into the winter village. I'm especially fond of the candy cane striped door frame. Quote
Hinckley Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Only five photos allowed. Please remove your composite shot. Quote
Cagast Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I love that snowblower more than anything else in creation! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Nice build CM4Sci. I like the way you built the front window. I haven't seen that before, it's a very nice feature along with the house. Nice snowblower too Quote
Withacee Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I can't keep up with all these great entries; another lovely building, congratulations. Perfectly fitting the theme (except the yeti), lovely facade. Still love the snow blower. Good luck in the contest, and keep clicking those bricks together! Quote
greg3 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 This looks just like an official set!! (The fireplace looks especially cosy) I just hope a hungry customer doesn't try to eat the shop keeper!! Nice work and good luck! Quote
ritzcrackerman Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 This is very good, and almost looks like an official set. Well done! Might I suggest a few more candy-related decorations in and out to - a custom sign, maybe inside some candy glass bowls on a shelf, etc. It could use just a little more differentation from the previous WV sets. Candy making for me upstairs would be more of a kitchenette with sugar syrup boiling, rather than a bed. It would be wonderful if LEGO released the silver bars from the Lone Ranger sets in Dark Brown for chocolate bars... Cheers and well done! Quote
Little-MsLaura Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Very fitting to have the Gingerbread Man working the cash at a Sweet Store. It's almost like he was born (baked?) to do that job. ;) Quote
Loves Houses Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Och, what I nice little cosy village house. The chimney is gorgeous. I like the door-frame too. Quote

It's a shame the contest is over, otherwise I'd consider a few of these. Thanks for the comments, guys, greatly appreciated. :) -Sci Quote
CityBuilder Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Nice sweet shop, I like the black round window! It reminds me of Santa's workshop. Quote
