| Name of Model: Alpine Village |
| Created by the Schubert family (I don't believe they have other original creations online) |
| Photos found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=398441 Summary found at: http://news.lugnet.com/town/?n=10342 |
Details:
 Here's another gem from this year's BrickFair: a complete village with a train going around it and a gorgeous mosaic backdrop. This is one MOC (My Own Creation) which really needs to be seen to be believed - there are so many small details here that it's nearly impossible to get photos of all of them (and upon reading the builders' commentary on this one, I'm now aware that there were actually additional details added after I finished taking photos of it - I never had a chance to see this with vehicles and minifigs included. The BrickShelf gallery I've linked to here covers many of the architectural details on the buildings - enough to steal a few ideas from, anyway, even if it doesn't fully capture the effect of walking up to this model on this display. |
| This is Sunday's model of the day - sorry for the delay, but sometimes we need to build things for ourselves instead! |

That is just brilliant! What a nice idea to use that background, and I just love that cute cable car.
What an extensive MOC for somebody the online community hasn't heard of by the way - it's not like most of us have 3000 white sloopes lying around....

Unfortunately white slopes became most plentiful AFTER the roofs had been built - the Space Skull set went on sale at S@H.
But try getting the roof PEAKS in white! I was able to order a large number from a bricklink store in the Czech Republic.

This cable car was from a Spiderman set. :) The ski gondola that was originally made for this display had a self contained motor and battey. It can be seen here:

The minifig making the snow brick sculpture was inspired by a photo from real life.
