Lego Winter Village 2017

This year as we are in a larger home we had the ability to build our Winter Village more that twice the size it was last year!


First the crew had to work hard to lay the track.


The crew worked very hard to get it just right.





After the track was laid, the new station began to take shape.





Some finishing touches and the station was looking good.


It even had a nicely equipped coffee shop


Post the schedule


and hand the station off to the station master


Next up, what is this??



Careful with the tile work...


and the masonry.


Up go the walls


and the door


Meanwhile, the crew got going on another building



but the bakery was done first


Then the carousel went in


What is this but a whole trainload of more pieces!


Check out all those tiles!


The village really started to take shape!


Bakery is ready for business!


As is the Post Office (complete with its official Canada Post sign)


the Toy Shop is go to go as well!


An aerial shot with most of the major work done



Of course the big guy needed his place


but if you are on his naughty list, look out because he has a bin of coal!


Of course there are cats ready to pounce


and other critters for your viewing delight.


Be sure to grab some hot coco


and check the presents under the tree


Marshmallows over the fire


and a train load of toys!


The highlight of the village though is Santa's workshop on top of the mountain!


Climb the stairs if you dare...


but watch for what lurks below...


If you're adventurous there is a more challenging route


of course you could also throw snowballs at your sister...


The back of the train station needed a little work on the back.


The wide shot of the finished village


Santa's workshop!






Santa has caught the eye of the officer with the radar gun!



Not sure this is where our little adventurer meant to end up




Fresh pies from the bakery!


A new danger lurks below the mountain.


Our local hunters....


Finally, the tree is getting pretty crowed with all those presents!
