Elysiumfountain Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Welcome to Winterfield Academy, the premier arts academy for all of your minifigs! Governed by Headmistress Elba Rieter, this academy specializes in the arts! The first floor includes a grand entrance hall with front desk and a platform for a train station (Behind the school are tracks on which the Orient Express can arrive). The first floor also contains the dining hall, a trophy room, and the grand spiral staircase that ascends three stories. The second story includes a large choir classroom, a picture-lined hallway, a store closet that I'll soon be converting into a lavatory, and Headmistress Rieter's office. And the third floor/roof contains a ballet/dance studio and classroom, as well as a large portion that I haven't decided what to do with yet. But I think it's going to end up being the dormitory. I'm also planning on possibly doing a stop motion video series set around one of my mini figures encountering mystery and murder at the school! So we'll see how that goes. This MOC is also up on LEGO Ideas gathering support! If you wish please go support it! I'm including the link here. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/c3ebdf4f-1c75-435e-b09b-3f23788b535a Any ideas for the third floor, suggestions, comments on this MOC are much appreciated, thank you! :) Edited October 23, 2017 by Elysiumfountain Quote
koalayummies Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Incredible. I was browsing Ideas the other day and saw you had a bunch of submissions that I don't recall seeing on here, why are you hiding these?! I supported the Museum of Mystery, and now this (and your train) and probably more. Absolutely fantastic building you've been doing, not only are they beautiful but also massive and thus crazy awesome. Keep it up! Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 @koalayummies Thank you! :) A lot of the submissions I had on the Ideas site were digital, so I didn't think EB would appreciate me posting a bunch of digital stuff lol! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Gorgeous modular building! Very nice Lego IDEA! Quote
Killian Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I adore it! Just been and supported it! I hope it becomes official! Quote

Yeah but you do amazing building, when its as good as your stuff digital builds can work just as well like the Museum of Mystery, but seeing something like this Winterfield Academy in bricks is always a bit more stunning. Will be looking forward to your next build and following the Ideas submissions closely. Quote
Wesley D Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 What a majestic building! It will make a great background for the stories you're planning to make. Quote
ReplicaOfLife Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Oh wow! Surprised that Ideas allows this, though, it must be way over the 3000 piece limit, or isn't it? I've been holding back on submitting one of my MOCs because they all exceed that limit. Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted October 1, 2017 Author Posted October 1, 2017 @RogerSmith I somehow managed to pare it down to 2999 pieces! Of course the interior is bare bones :( But you have to sacrifice somewhere! The normal MOC for this (the version I have on my shelf and not the version I submitted) includes this giant train shed and all these plants and things, which is about 4000 pieces. Quote
brickmasterben11 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Very nice! I see a very "X-mansion" feel to it. I would definitely buy it as a set and maybe add to the interior. Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Thank you! Surprisingly it jumped from 177 to 358 supporters on Ideas today, landing on the Trending page (something none of my projects have ever done!) so there's hope! It might go somewhere! Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Update on the project, it's up to 890 votes with 400 days left! We're cruising along, well on the way to the next date extension. Fingers crossed that it'll go somewhere! :) Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted November 14, 2017 Author Posted November 14, 2017 Happy Holidays from the newly rebuilt town of Glacier Falls! Quote
beverly888 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Beautiful. Stop motion is hard to do with such tiny figures. Looking forward to seeing it, though. Beverly Quote
