Hi all,
First of all, I must apologize for the messy background and the quality of the pictures, I didn't really have much time photographing the model.
This Candy House is built for a LEGO event that is currently taking place in Times Square, Hong Kong. My fellow Legend Bricks members and I started designing and constructing LEGO models for the event in late March 2012. Houses like this Candy House are enlarged to life scale by wood and plastic to accommodate life-scale LEGO models, such as bread, cakes, paintings, flowers, grandfather clock, and all sorts of interior deco that you can think of for a winter village. While this model is never published, I guess pictures of its life-scale cousins should have been floating around the internet since mid-Nov. Anyway, I am just posting it for sharing so feel free to disqualify me ;-)
The timeframe for the initial stage of the project is quite tight so I didn't fit in any interior (nor do I had to, cos that was taken care of in the second stage), but I did gave it some signature features such as a candy cane lamp post and a balcony.
I contributed 3 buildings for the project [From left to right: Music Shop (The Music Shop was repurposed as a Toy Shop for the event with a spinning teddy bear on the first floor balcony, which was temporary removed in the picture), Candy House, Bakery]

The event runs from mid Nov to 2 Jan 2013 and opens to public. If you happen to be in town, feel free to pay a visit! (Note: half of the life-scale buildings and the brick built models inside them will be taken down on 26 Dec 2012 for the countdown to 2013. TIme Square Hong Kong is a popular tourism spot and the event is often very crowded.) If Hong Kong is too remote for you, you can also check out some pictures of the event here: https://www.facebook.com/legendbricks
Merry Christmas and I wish you all a joyful and prosperous new year!
