Christmas Village for my local florist

Supersympa

My local florist change her window display every 2-3 months, depending on the season...Never seen any Lego in there...So A couple of months ago, after picking my son at school, I meet the florist outside her shop, and ask her if she would be interested to have a Christmas village in her window in Lego....She accepted...so i build a few different things, nothing compare to some of you guys that create fantastic MOC and things, but I am still proud of myself :)

I built the houses and trees at home, and we put everything together last night.

here is the results, I will try to put more pictures later.
Thanks for watching

Wow dude, that is really neat. Job well done.

Beautiful!
How did you do the snow?
It'd look great with some (real) christmas tree lights round the edge of it :)
What a great idea

Ive always thought the Ollivanders building from Diagon Alley would look great with that set, never seen them all together before and now I think it even more!

MinifigsMe

Awesome! really nice, and just what I'm aiming for for my house :-) love the giant tree!

LostInTranslation

That's really wonderful Eric, very impressed!

Edit: I love the tree as well Savage, would be a great way to use all those palm trees I seem to have kicking around.

Very nice, I will be attempting something simular (but on a small scale) for my home in a week or so.

Supersympa

Thank you :)
pictures are unfortunately not great...sorry about that.
here are more:

Great stuff, did you get any free flowers in return?

legonut80

That's great, i think people will stop to look in at that display :-) i also love the big tree

Supersympa

@atkinsar I do it for fun...but I am sure my wife will get flowers for free (which will save ME money, LOL)

I forgot to say that I also gave polybags to her so she can give to kids that find the two Santa's helper that are hidden...well...not that difficult ;)

Is that the town hall type building from the village square layout? (can't remember the exact name or find the set, the anniversary one I think, with the cinema as well).

Great idea, and well executed! (but where are the polar bears...? :P)

edit: found it http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=10184-1 Nice work!

Your work is beautiful, but your warmhearted and generous offer to the florist is more beautiful than anything else!! ;-)

Alczervik

stagus

Fab!

jwsmart

Nice!

Supersympa

Thanks everybody ;)
makes my day all your comments!

The florist asked me to think about another display I could do.
I am very glad with that!

PS: I am sorry about the low quality of the pictures...

Amazing fair play to you, loving the snowboarder on the hill

Just thought I'd add, this is my Christmasy-fied MMV and MMR. Dead simple, but creates quite a large village when added to the winter village sets. :)

allmybricks

Great idea Savage_Steel !

brickmatic

Love that you're spreading LEGO cheer with a fantastic display and gifts for kids to boot! It's awesome!

Si_UKNZ

looks great!
bet the holiday train looks fab next to those

princedraven

^^^^ Loving that Savage, really nicely done, the small touches really set it off.

MinifigsMe

Thanks mate, I've made a nativity to put in the barn now (the angel is quite nice and simple - I used vellum for the wings) but the baby is just a head in a turban, looks a bit odd!

princedraven

Can you post some more pics when you can :)

Legogeek

@Savage_Steel excellent layout with the "Christmasy-fied MMV and MMR" :o)

The_Brick_Builder

Great mod Savage! Looks excellent and could go into any City layout seamlessly.

Along a similar theme I thought I'd share the attached, which is on my sideboard at home opposite the (real!) tree. The core is the obvious winter theme sets, but I've added a few bits here and there.

Si_UKNZ

Skislope, yey! Looks great with the Emerald too, nice collection.
Those weighted snowboards are great, they really work!

MinifigsMe

^^ I like the rack for the skis - the whole thing looks good though.

Si - I got the ski slope on your recommendation for the white plates. got it out and it was pretty much assembled. It never got dismantled. Nick and I spent ages racing each other down the slope. Then my nephew came over and added obstacles (scorpians and spiders). Great little set for playability!

Here's a few more pics for @princedraven and to inspire all you Lego Heathen's who haven't built their winter sets yet! (It's nothing special, but cute non-the-less!)
(sorry the photos are a bit grainy, it's in a dark corner)

I see you have a Genie from series 6 already! Might have to use that excuse (similar to 'needing' a Roman soldier for my nativity scene). It's just a modded POP dagger fight but need to drop in some figs.

LostInTranslation

I may be a heathen who hasn't put together my Winter Village but I do love Christmas. Last night I found this photo of a model I built back in September and had forgotten about (so this was probably my first proper MoC rather than the market stall for the Brickish party). It's been demolished now so I can't take any better pictures. Looking back at it, I wish I'd brick-built the reindeer rather than trying to mod the cow - looks very bizarre! ;) But hey ho, live and learn.

MinifigsMe

Lucy that's awesome! I know there's complicated moc's out there, but my favourite part of lego is the details and yours is full of them! I love the stockings, the snowboards by the door and the carrot and mince pie for Santa and Rudolf.
Ps I like the cowdolf :)

@andhe - yep, got the genie in my first bag, and 30 bags later I've not had another! (or a butcher or snowboarder!) Dagger fight would be good for it, if I hadn't built my barn already I'd have used that. Love the POP sets for parts and fleshies :)

Supersympa

@lostintranslation, yes looks like a well fed reindeer! :)
well done Lucy on that moc.
