Gigantic Christmas Village

[Nolphi Plays]

We have a family tradition of creating a Lego Christmas Village with our family. This year we took it to the next level with hundreds of lights from Brickstuff and thousands and thousands of bricks. The only official set we used is the train from the 2016 Holiday Train set to which we added a battery pack, lights and the remote control upgrade.

Great looking layout. It has ,depth and consistency making it a nice little village. I really like it.

Incredible display, I love the overall look and feel of the town.

Does the holiday train really fit the theme and design (colors) of the rest of the town?

Hi Wildly,

Thanks for the kind words. The train matches it really well. The one thing we still want to do is to create our own additional train carriage with lights. We got the tiny mobile battery pack on there from brickstuff so we could add dozens of lights in theory. I never liked the spinning Christmas tree on the set so we left that carriage out.

An absolutely stunning layout. Very well done. I particularly like the tiered chalets, it gives real depth to the overall layout.

Reddish brown, brick and sand yellow harmony. Gorgeous and massive MOC. The buildings, figure interaction, layout and atmosphere are all top notch. Theres just endless detail everywhere and its all amazing. Absolutely incredible work!

This is my favourite Lego winter village display that I have seen. The buildings are fantastic and very cohesive. Love the village lit at night. Beautiful.

[peedeejay]

Cool! That must’ve been a lot of fun building it. :)

[TheLegoDr]

The scale is impressive. The lights in the dark look superb. Good thinking there.

I do and I don't like how all of the buildings look similar. It makes it feel cohesive, but it doesn't add variety either. But maybe in a true village, the buildings would look similar enough.

Either way, Happy Christmas.

My SO is pretty jealous right now. This village is better than awesome!

[BrickJagger]

Fantastic work! I love how all of the builds are your own, and the atmosphere the build gives off as a whole. 

[Karalora]

I love the non-specificity of the time period. The building styles are medieval-esque, as is the armory, but minifig details range all the way up to modern times.

[Man with a hat]

Wow, this amazing. What a great christmas diorama, so many things to see. Perfect!

[adwind]

This is just stunning! You did a great job! There are lots of nice details and still it's not a mess (what happens pretty often with other dioramas)!

[Dick-Trom]

Saw this appear earlier on fb and forgot to mention that this is a superb build! I really don't have anything worth mentioning that I don't like about it! 

[Maple]

That's stunning! The lightning system is stunning on it. Amazing!

[Anio]

Nice buildings, cool details.
I love it !

[beverly888]

So well done architecturally and overall layout.  Great!

This is very well done with lots of great architecture and scenes. I like how you have gotten the train to go inside the build on the backside. Great way to handle it. There are also some great minifigure scenes spread throughout. Do you keep ot the same and just add every year or change it completely?

[Bricksnaps]

very nice, a wonderful compact display with so much detail. It is tiered very well.

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Simply wonderful!

Great masterpiece that transmits serenity! 

The light are the icing on the cake!

[Redhead1982]

My first thought was that it's not bricks. It's just perfect. Considering the popularity of Winter Village theme in last years, I was expecting something else when finding this topic. It's the design of the village, that makes it extrodinary. I like the depth and height you created with different yet similarly styled buildings. The lights are the final touch as they create a holiday spirit. My only critic would be not including more close-up pictures to reveal all the details. Once again, thanks for sharing this inspiring setup.

[reddx]

So Stunning!! Love it with the lights on (and off.. hehe..). Just perfect!!

[LM71Blackbird]

That is beautiful! The layout is very well thought out and the whole model seams to flow spectacularly! The picture with the lights in the town on is probably my favorite! Fantastic job on this incredible MOC!

This looks really beautiful. Great level of details and very nice color scheme. Congratulations. It seems that you put a great amount of effort into this village.
