Hello everyone,
This is my entry in the Expand the Winter Village contest. This is also the first real contest I have entered on EB or anywhere in the LEGO world.
I am not generally a Winter Village collector (being from Australia our Christmas is in Summer!) but I have been inspired by many of the great entries so far and decided to give it a crack So I did some research into Winter Village Markets to get more inspiration and came across the German tradition of the Christmas Pyramid. Having never been to Germany around this time of year, I am going solely on photos I have seen online in my research, so please forgive any errors in my portrayal of what looks to be a fantastic tradition for young and old to enjoy!
Without further a due!!
What Winter Village Market is complete without its Christmas Pyramid!?
^Onlookers are wowed by its romance and beauty!
^ Young and old gather in the Winter Market to watch the figurines spin around the pyramid!
^ The holiday season and the Christmas Pyramid alike reignites the romance in everyone's lives!
^ The graceful red fans spin around from the heat of the candles in the cold air.
^ And just to make sure, it all fits on 16 x 16 studs (with no more than a stud width outside, as per the rules ), including the PF kit. Speaking of which, I have uploaded a short
which I would love for you to watch and see the Christmas Pyramid in action!!There are also some more shots on my flickr photostream.
I had a great time researching, designing and building this. Thanks for looking, good luck to all and Merry Christmas to all
