MacGyver

Thank you for your kind comments! Well, I built it as a store + one apartment on top, so it's a similar concept as other WV sets, except it's a bit bigger ... It's also built as a sole structure, so you can think of it as the main building (or one of the main ones) at the centre of the village

Thank you both! Yeah, that girl in front of the store has a bit of a sweet tooth too

Wonderful! It fits perfectly into Winter Village series...

Thanks! It's always nice to hear such comments

Good day! Here's my contest entry: Victorian era tools and candy shops on Christmas eve: DSC08481 by Nejc Roskar, on Flickr Christmas spirit on the street - carolers singing, hot chestnuts are being sold, both stores are decorated (as well as street lamps): DSC08483 by Nejc Roskar, on Flickr DSC08486 by Nejc Roskar, on Flickr We have four different compartments inside: in the bottom left is well equipped tool shop, next to it is a candy shop with decorated Christmas tree and candies on shelves. In the upper left room is fully loaded table waiting on a Christmas dinner and in the top right corner a family is decorating a tree. There is also a grandmother clock in there. All four compartments have a fire place: DSC08420 by Nejc Roskar, on Flickr DSC08458 by Nejc Roskar, on Flickr Everything (except the carriage) is mostly (in about 95%) built out of bricks from 4 official Lego sets: Winter Village Bakery, Toy Shop, Post Office and Cottage...

@splatman If you take a closer look at Santa's sleigh, you can see the yellow package inside, which was delivered under the tree for sleepy boy (named Ole). He wrote to Santa that he'd like to have a wooden toy. He was so thrlled by it, that he later started building wooden toys by himself and his company later became known as LEGO

Thank you! @NoEinstein Version of Christmas Carol by Robert Zemeckis was my big inspiration for starting this build Merry Christmas!

Sorry I forgot to answer this. badbob001 now I understand what rrigs meant. Well, yes it's a mistake. If you look at the blueprints, you can see that this part of the ship is somewhat similar to my version but it's ofcourse wrong. I guess I didn't spend enough time looking at the real photos. I'll correct it

Thanks again! @kemit I tried to get as close to similar facades in reallife as possible (with lots of details etc..) Well, it's almost Christmas! Everything is ready for the Santa, here's the picture of christmas tree and diorama underneath

Thanks again! Well, I haven't driven one of these yet, but would love to in the future

Great to see such lovely comments, thanks again! This is fabuland sign, see here: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x222 Exactly! They put this carpet there to represent wreath with red decoration, therefore red/green colour No, I have just used my imagination and made a fusion of several different victorian era houses… Sure he fits, Santa fits everywhere! That's the whole point. I have built my own little dream victorian house, that I wanted for a very long time. Great advantage of LDD is that you can change shapes and styles untill you're completely satisfied with the end product…

Sorry for the late reply… Great, keep up the good work! As @escortmad79 already answered, you should get everything you need on Bricklink. When you need specific bricks you get there… I tried to build it as close to the blueprints as possible in this scale. But I don't quite understant what you mean. Can you explain a bit more? I have plans to change front of the ship, because it looks too ''bricky'' to me. I'm already designing changes in LDD, so I'll post more updates soon!

Try not to think of it as a skeleton head, but just face made from snow. Although as I recall, we built snowman with evil face many times, just for fun

Thank you all! I've tried many different shapes (including your suggestion), but in my opinion, this tipe works best… You're very kind, but I think I wouldn't qualify as this MOC has about 4000 bricks, all of the winter contests so far were to build something similar in size with official ones
