Izzy Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I chose to make a Winter Sweet Shop. A perfect place to hang around at Christmas. With 7 minifigs, and very much in the style of the place next door, the Winter Toy Shop. This 'set' has a Store owner, A Skier, A Homeless Man, A Mother and baby in pram, And the terrible twins, Math and Matilda. The 7th minifig is the Toy Soldier who stands guard outside the store (and ploy to get children to want to come closer) The building has, the store downstairs, then one small room upstairs and then the attic. There is lots and lots of lovely pictures to see here, on my >>> Flickr. <<< Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Wow that great I need to get another idea now maybe a butcher I love all the candy if I saw that in the window I would sure come in Quote
carnybaby Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 My daughter also came up with the idea of a sweet shop and this one looks great! The pram model is really cute. Im sure she will try to make her own now :) Quote
lightningtiger Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Now isn't that so sweet - pardon the pun.....but it's very cute and cool creation 'Cutlass Iz'....good luck and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
buddy Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Very nice creation, Cutlass Iz! It looks like it would fit in well with 10199 and 10216. Very well done. ~buddy~ Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Fantastic Candy store, I was going to make one for the contest at first, but then I changed my mind . Quote
Masked Builder Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Man you made me hungry! Anyways, nice idea and it looks great! Quote
lt.Gonville brickhead Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Wow entries are comingin all ready I love the shape of the building and the attic Quote
prateek Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I love this! It reminds me of the Candy shop in HP: PoA Quote
Izzy Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 I love this! It reminds me of the Candy shop in HP: PoA I think of it as a cross between The Winter Toy Shop, Honeydukes and the Emerald Night. I hope everyone is checking out the pics on Flickr. Those 5 pics only really don't do it justice. Thanks everyone for the comments. Please tell me what I might change... can be a WIP until the deadline! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Lovely creation Cutlass Iz! This one perfectly fits the Winter Village, I just love the very colorful details inside - very candy shop-ish. Nice use of the colored trash cans. Great job and wishing you all the best for the contest! Quote
peterab Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Thanks everyone for the comments. Please tell me what I might change... can be a WIP until the deadline! I really like the shape of the roof, it has a real ski slope feel for me. I think the upper roof section doesn't work well though, I think it would be much improved if the lower roof section was just continued up in one piece, and the connections below the roof hidden with a wall. At the moment they appear to be unrealistic. You could use the new wall for some purely decorative detail if desired, Quote
WhiteFang Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Izzy, this is a lovely entry with nice interior. For one, I like the use of your Emerald Night parts as part of the roofing. Good luck. Quote

Thanks Fangy, that means a lot to meee. Quote
