Here is another inspiration picture for a winter village building. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiberium_blue/6634556923/in/photostream/
Great find – the model is fantastic … except for the color choice for the walls … and the name (where is the oak?) I like how the creator used inverted clips to put snow on the black fence. Also, it took me a while to realize that the gray stone wall was NOT gray “log pieces” but 1×2 “technic liftarms” that are probably stacked with pins and axels. There must be over 600 of those! That’s 90 bucks right there … if you could even buy enough of them.
Something similar could be built (without the amazing wall) but this is a substantial building – what would be its purpose in the village? Santa’s HQ? Dorm for the elves?
