- The holidays are quickly approaching, so I thought it was the perfect time to create my very first LEGO Winter Village diorama! It was quite the learning experience for me, but was so much fun to make!

When you finally accept that you don’t have $20K+ to throw at Lego, smaller MOCs such as this become the most charming, and adored.
It doesn’t take up too much room. It keeps the tradition of having the decorative façade in the front while allowing the viewer to see how it’s all made possible from the rear. The best part, anyone can still be entertained for hours admiring all of its detail!
I can’t wait to see more of your works!
Excellent points! These types of Mocs are about the largest I think I’ll make. So much fun! 🤩
Your narrating is top tier.
Thank you! 🙏 high school theatre finally paid off! 😜
Now that is one nice diorama
Thank you! 🙏
I am so glad this video appeared on my home page. I absolutely loved watching it. Your narration is beautiful and your builds are all perfect.
Thanks so much! Lots of great content coming!
love watching your video...😀 your village looks so captivating with those lights. and i like the polar bear set at the corner!
Thank you! The lights are sure a pain, but they're so worth it.
Your voice is edible and I love it. Keep up the awesome work, loving both the reviews of oringial sets and your combo builds!
Thanks so much! So glad these are bringing people joy 🤩
This is amazingly creative. Love it. May have to check out those Lego lights.
Thanks! 🙏 Game of Bricks has a good balance between quality and price.
Very nice and festive!
Thank you! It's been great to have it up for the holiday season.
The light kits add so much to the build. Can't explain it, but the illuminated hockey pond is my favorite.
And the price Lego charges for the baseplates is ridiculous... Going third party you have enough cash leftover to buy an entire winter village set. I'd take that route too
I was a big fan of how the hockey pond came out as well!
And yes, when it comes to train tracks and baseplates, I’m gonna save me some cash 😂 LEGO gets plenty of my money. 💰
Really beautiful!
It was a blast to build!
Beautiful ❄️⛄🌲
Thank you!
Great job! Only suggestion is for you to consider MILS plating your village next year!
Definitely want to do that next year, as well as MILS plating my shelf city.
This gives me ideas for the little winter village I want to build below the tree! I don't have any Winter Village sets, so I need to build everything from scratch, although I built already a train station and a Christmas park (without snow because I live in a tropical country, so Christmas here is actually cozy since the weather is nice, nor hot nor cold, with sunny days and a little of wind; so I want to recreate that) n_n
Your village is nice! It seems simple, but very well done n_n
I’d say a village built from scratch is even more special (especially because the official LEGO sets wouldn’t match your country’s climate). Good luck! 👍
Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
Thank you! And a Merry Christmas to you!
I like all the little details - well done - very inspiring!
Thank you! 🙏
I really like this set up. Thank you
Thank you!
AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing this setup
Thanks! Happy to share.
Wow!!!! Fantastic!!🤩
Thank you!
Lovely village! I'm working on my first Winter Village this year, too. So you gave me lots of inspiration.
Glad I could share. Mine was inspired by many others as well, so glad to be able to pass that along.
Some of the old Indiana jones sets have some cars that would fit well in this build, changing some colors to make them more welcoming, not that you have much room!
Never even thought of that. Perhaps for next year!
Great job and inspiration for my 2025 winter village project. Thanks! 🙂
Never too early to get started!
I looks really nice and the lights make a big difference.
It surprised me just how much those lights added magic!
Great looking setup! I would personally prefer some calmer lights, either with a slow blink or no blinking at all. But those make for a fun display.
I actually quite agree. These ones are a tad spazzy. One of the downsides of Game of Bricks is that you don’t often get to see what the lights will be doing before you get them.
Looks fantastic! Honestly, don't worry about knockoff baseplates. Save some money!
Thanks! Hard to worry about it when you save $100 😆
Hi, nice. For power you could look at LMB Power functions connectors which I have linked to 4Brix power supply’s. This way I can power on/off all the lights simultaneously….or you could tell your AI assistant to do it for you. My own village is on 7x5 white base plates (official) :-). I also retro built each model (from 2013) on MILS base to give the models stability when handling and packing away each year, this also hides the lighting connectors/excess cabling. I have been toying with building a mountain side basically to get more space as it’s all pretty congested now, but never seem to get around to it. Enjoyed your video. Have fun building and a great festive season.
Thank you! Since making this video, I have plugged all my lights into a USB splitter and now they can all be turned on simultaneously with AC power. I definitely want to MILS the village next year!
That's cool and inventive to include Hogsmeade in your diorama. Especially considering Harry Potter is one of those Chsirtmas adjacent movies always on around the holidays lol very well done!
The scale and style of those sets are so perfect for the winter village setting that I couldn’t resist!
Awesome!!
Thank you! 😊
@keltondavisLEGO 🤝
Love how you made this into a diorama. I have to steal this idea, sorry 😂. Mine is looking a little flat at the front so the one brick high edging with the tiles and leaf parts is a perfect solution. Great video!
Steal away! Good luck with your village!
Love this and I am attempting my own Christmas 🎄 village. Never built anything like it before and hard to get parts here in Turkey. Great job on yours I love it.
Start small and follow your gut! Most of all, have fun!
very well done, mate 😊
Thanks! 🙏
Love it!
❤️
Very cool, I’d like to do something like that, haven’t tried lighting anything yet, might have to give it a try.
It's all about just starting!
This looks really good dude!
You definitely should save up to get a retired Winter Village set really for next year
I’m going to try to get one new and one retired every year until I catch up.
I wish for you to have the opportunity to build much bigger dioramas in the near future :) Wed like to see different themes. But I know it takes up a lot of space and money. It would be super cool if the channel grew so big, you could have a warehouse rented just for dioramas.
That’s exactly what o want to do in the future! I envision Western, Adventurers and space themes.
i never been into the winter village sets, because i always have a different display out of christmas stuff out in december.
but i do think this whole setup looks excellent, and if i could go back in time to get all of the previous years sets i missed in the dark ages then maybe...
It’s not an inexpensive proposition, to be sure!
@@keltondavisLEGO it always comes down to money and space, when i consider new Lego to get lol
I find the best way to buy baseplates is to stockpile them till they are needed. For a while I would got to Walmart for shopping but always bring home a baseplate. Now I have a stack of them for my video purposes.
Not a bad idea! Though since I’m thinking of going to MILS for my city soon, I’ll probably stick with off-brand baseplates because they’ll be entirely covered up with LEGO parts.
@keltondavisLEGO I was wondering if you might go that direction. I've been slowly gathering baseplates and the other bricks, etc. to replace my existing plates with MILS plates. That alone will take awhile, between the small displays and the modulars.
Great work!
Thanks! 🙏
looks great! i thouht of building on emyself but my house is to small. so i wil enjoy yours
Glad I could share!
Yay! Thank you. Next time can you recreate the Nintendo game pilotwings 64?
Haha! Not really a game I’m familiar with, but I appreciate your enthusiasm for it.
@keltondavisLEGO It's really cool. Search it up and get some inspiration to build
Awesome!
🙏👍
This one Lego-beautiful and very Christmassy winter village you have created. Will you be building any more Christmas themed sets to show us in December?
I definitely have a “winter” themed retro Lego episode in store!
👏👏👏👏👏💯💚😊,from Portugal !!!!!
Welcome!!
i did order by amazon a USB hub for internet with switches and those work really good and also easy to hide some cables.
That sounds promising! Do you mind posting the link?
It is beautiful. I have the same ideia, a tunnel with a train or the Streetcar and a mountain. Just a question, why you don't use the bricklink or other simular site? You'd probably save a good money.
Congratulations for your channel, you are doing well.
Regards from Portugal
Thank you! I’ve used Bricklink a ton! But in this particular case, the LEGO site had better prices, free shipping and a GWP 👍
Wow.. I should add lightning to my moc...
It adds a real dash of magic!
Great village and wonderful video. I appreciate the details and approach to building the tunnel.
How much did the burps and masonry bricks cost in total and roughly what % of the order quantity did you end up using?
I got 30 BURPs for $63.90 and 800 masonry bricks for $112.
I used all the BURPs and about 75% of the bricks (including the tunnels and the border going around the whole display).
I agree with the off brand baseplate and train rail philosophy. For my city I could spend $75 on off brand or $250 for Lego brand
Also Lego doesn’t support the old road baseplate system anymore
Yeah, since baseplates and train tracks are simply utility items, I don't have any qualms about going generic.
wow just an amazing winter village, definitely some inspiration for this years winter/christmas village i'm building for the first time ever. I know it is just January but preperation is key ☺. I find it difficult to know what i need to build such an big project. Aside from baseplates and buildings from the winter collection i need alot more bricks 😅😅 How did you know how much bricks you needed? because my space for next year can hold 8 baseplates (2 x 4) so not as big as yours. but i was thinking like you of an elevation with buildings on top because of my limited space. Where did you bought your bricks? From lego or Bricklink? Thanks in advance.
Thank you! I literally just guessed and hoped I was right 😂
It makes me go to Lego store to pick few sets😅
Main Street is retiring this year, so I’d get that one first!
First, thanks for sharing your concerns and results.
Second, I've been avoiding Facebook for a while because I tend to get sucked into the black hole that it can be, but the existence of groups for Winter village makes me want to revisit.
Lego groups and marketplace are the only reasons I’m still on there. Otherwise it’s a wasteland of AI garbage.
Do you have the ref number for the brick you used as the curved arch on the tunnel entrance? Thank you!
