Posted January 12, 20178 yr Built for the 7th annual Expand the Winter Village Contest. All the doors open, there is a pop out ice block function, and a secret compartment under the house for hiding presents. The building itself was inspired by this model. It was quite an enjoyable build process, especially the wooden porch section. The ice house is particularly busy in the winter months, as blocks of ice are cut and then put into the storage shack to await delivery via truck to customers’ homes.  Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt Thanks for looking, C&C welcome!
January 12, 20178 yr Very nice, I especially like the little truck, I'd love to have this in my winter village.
January 12, 20178 yr I really like the idea of an ice house and this is very well done. It definitely harkens back to a past age when ice wasn't a ubiquitous commodity and fits in well with the winter village.
January 13, 20178 yr Great design! Nice depth with the different parts of the house and the chimney, and that porch and the truck look great. The door sort of sticks out a bit, might be even better with one of these? http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=93602#T=C All things considered, a top quality contribution. Best of luck in the contest, and keep clicking those bricks together. Edited January 13, 20178 yr by Withacee
January 14, 20178 yr That's a wonderful idea. The truck is cute and there are some great details liek the snow and ice on the roof and the interior.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll keep it in mind for future builds 22 hours ago, Cara said: This is adorable. Great subject matter. I too like the truck. Thank you Cara!

January 17, 20178 yr This is a gorgeous building and truck, and the interior is so homely and welcoming, really fits the winter village theme well. Â I really like the colour scheme. Â And all those blocks of ice! Â My son would love to load up that truck and tip the ice back out again!

January 18, 20178 yr Really enjoyed the truck and the architecture of the building. The part that stood out the most to me was the detailing on the snow. It really felt so accurate and organic in how you did it, definitely the most impressive part for me. Really lovely.

February 11, 20178 yr I really like how you made the snow throughout the build. Very effective. I would totally buy this if it was a set. Nice work.
