We do not allow people to post confidential/preliminary images. This year TLG is pretty strict about any sort of leaks, including links to confidential images, so please do not ask people to share them with you. Thanks.

I don't have LDD installed on the computer I'm replying from, so I didn't have a look at your LXF file. In Town Hall, the door is hinged using a "clip and bar" system which puts the hinge at the center of the one stud depth (thickness) of the door. Theoretically they don't close, because the hinge is not at the back of the door, but in practice they do. If you mount the hinge you mentioned earlier in its "straight" position (so that it forms a 1 x 4 plate) then the hinge is at the "front" of the one stud thick door, which prevents it from opening.

What is meant is that your creation should be similar in size to the sets released in the Winter Village theme.

It's the source of the images that are being removed all over the board now. Even though not every individual image is watermarked, they are preliminary/confidential. So, please do not repost the link anymore. Thank you.

I'm not sure it's the final design. The fire truck, for example, seemed to be missing it's stickers.

Sure, I don't see why not. Of course. Although one would run the risk it stays too close to the Winter Toy Shop because of the colour scheme and minifigs.

If it's a new creation and fits the rest of the rules, I don't see why not.

Now try again...

What's the 1 x 4 (or 6?) x 5 piece used on the right bay door? Is that a new element?

Welcome to Eurobricks. Quite an impressive display you've got. Eurobricks is not an image host. The (very) limited upload space is meant for hosting your avatar. The answer indeed is to use an image hosting service. Please see this tutorial for an easy way to embed images in your posts (please mind the maximum size of 1,024 x 768 for embedded images: flickr lets you select various sizes).

Please check our Site Guidelines about image sizes before posting. Thanks.

Check out our flickr tutorial for help with that.

The modulars have always been set in the first half of the 20th century. I think the computer in Town Hall was a mistake. The price difference between European countries is ridiculous. I never saw a good reason, besides a 2% VAT difference, for the €10 price difference between The Netherlands and Germany on most €150-€250 exclusives, but €20 difference on a price of €150 is outrageous. That's 13% more expensive!

Did you click on the image?

True, you'd lose detail on one side of the pillar, which is probably why they went with their solution.

Actually, it doesn't look like it has to be that way considering the "gold bar" pieces appear to be on 2 x 2 bricks (sideways), so I guess you could fairly easy make them line up with the arches. ... and the theme of the fountain. It'd be a very nice freebie to go with the new modular release on January 1.
