shaggie Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Hi! This is my entry for the Expand the Winter Village contest. Mountain shelter, usually located near the summit, is a place, where hikers and mountaineers can rest after the hike, have something to eat and drink or even sleep. General rule is that no shelter will refuse a guest to stay overnight, but if the beds are already taken he or she has to sleep on the floor. Many European shelters are quite old wooden buildings, often with stone foundation. They provide few comforts, but they usually have a toilet and a shower (although hot water supply is very limited). Shelters serve hot tea or coffee and basic foods like scrambled eggs or pork chop. While waiting for the meal, guests can dry their gloves or socks at the fire. Every shelter has a map of the area to help hikers plan their route. Next time you'll be hiking in the mountains, make sure to visit a shelter to see if it's similar to my model. Have fun! Quote
CM4Sci Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Looks like it's that time of the contest where people submit the really good entries near the end (for whatever reason) This is awesome! Quote
Miro78 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Very nice. I like the modular aspect to it. Amazing how much you managed to squeeze into the interior. Something I need to work on. Miro Quote
Actor Builder Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 This is amazing! The interior is awesome, and the whole thing is such fun! The only thing I find off is the roof angle. It connects to itself in a strange way with the gaps, but besides that, I love it! Quote
sunhuntin Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 really like the design and exterior color scheme of this. looks nice and cosy Quote
Sparvhjerta Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Love this! Looks really cosy and lots of interesting details! Quote
LegoSjaak Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Can't believe it.. another superb WV building.. I've seen this kind of building a lot in Austria as well as in Switzerland... great work, especially love the skies in the hall.... Quote
peedeejay Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Clean build with lots if character! Nice! Quote
eurotrash Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Excellent MOC! I like the interior details, but the outside really does looks like a genuine mountain Hostel. Chapeau! Quote
KlodsBrik Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Comfy looking cottage. The interior is great and the overall look of it really makes one assume its really placed up on a mountain. Yeah, i love it. Looking really great Quote
Withacee Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 What a lovely creation! Takes me right to the Alps. I agree it's slightly bulky compared to the rest of WV, but I think this would fit right in, considering it's a shelter. The colours are nicely picked, the two entrances to the second floor with the stairs are great, and I love the details in the interior. If one would twist my arm to nitpick: The "dark holes" in the roof (first two pic) could do with some white poly-filler (and I know from experience what a nuisance it can be to get that right, what with all the angles) . Good luck, and keep clicking those bricks together! Quote
Bennemans Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Ooh looking very nice! Love the idea of a shelter! Sooo, you're talking about beds... Where are they? Are we missing a floor? Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Nice job! I like the small bathrooms you've included! Quote
Hobbythom Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Wonderful build. Great details inside! Quote
snaillad Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Nice entry into the contest, would look great integrated into a larger layout with large trees and such, good luck! Quote
Robert8 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Very very detailed entry! Great job Some christmas decorations would help to make it look more festive Good luck in the contest! Merry Christmas shaggie! Quote
scottwb2010 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Lovely creation Shaggie. Looks straight out of the Austrian Alps. This could easily be a winter village release or creator set Quote
