So this is Christmas...Lego 10229 Winter Village Cottage Part 5 of 5

Time to finish up all the Lego Christmas themed builds. My family has gathered for the usual stuffing. I do not mean the food but more that the whole family sits down for one humongous meal and stuff ourselves even more crazy then those turkeys. More of that in another post soon. I want to follow up and finish the Lego building theme. As a finale, here is the last build on Christmas day itself.

The main build of the Winter Village Cottage is of course the cottage itself. It features 4 minifigures in it, one which strangely due to the hair piece looks very oriental to me.

One of the strange parts about the build is that the polybags do not go exactly along with the instruction manual. By the end of the first book, the cottage was not fully up as can be seen below.

Of course I had to test the light brick function...which worked well. This time it is the fireplace which cannot be seen outside the cottage itself, this was different from the other previous 3 sets where you could see a window lit up.

The whole build when completed looks pretty neat.

It hits the colour combination in all the right notes for me: Dark green, dark blue, medium blue, etc. The interesting part of the build is of course how they made the roof look more full of snow.

Finally the back of the cottage when fully assembled. One downside I find for me is if one is playing and trying to put minifigures at the kitchen side, it is rather hard but to the tight squeeze.

Will post shots of the whole Winter Village mashed up together in another post. Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to all and for those who object to the Christian slant of this greeting, then Happy Holidays to you. Time for me to hit the sack. Until then.
