Christmas (or the Holidays, depending on how sensitive you are) is right around the corner. It is a time of year I enjoy messing with people.
About this creation
It was a quiet day in a small country lodge. Medium Age Ned was drinking some cold-coffee far from his fire. As if that wasn’t cold, and weird, enough; a teen smashes through his perimeter hurling a snowball at his face.
It’s that Eric Mickle again. He was told to do something more fulfilling boring than his current activity, his favourite past-time: video games.
At least he’s getting some exercise…
Not that he needs it of course. ;)
=Fourth Wall=
We will start with the interior. Now before you all go ‘Hey!’; yes, the decorations (tree, holly) were ripped-off from inspired by Hans Dendauw in that funny holiday vig he did a week or so ago.
The hearth, with a delightful little fire. (Apologies for the crocked shot, not in a good place to take pictures.)
The Christmas Tree, sorry about the blurriness, please don’t call it a ‘holiday bush’; that’s just wrong.
This bookcase/cupboard is inspired by the ritzy furniture you can purchase in Fable II. Did I mention I enjoy video games?
Let’s go outside, shall we?
Chilly conditions where I live, but no snow. :’(
I tried my very best to include crucial winter details, such as:
- The shovel-marked walkway.
- The ice-line where water would drip from the roof.
- The snow that fell from the roof, although only on the right side.
- Icicles.
The icicles, pretty no?
The roof, where some of the snow has drifted off.
Chimney, but it may be too fancy for Michigan…
Behind-the-scenes-ugliness. I was going to secure the snoted roof on the vig better, but it resulted in a lot of cursing.
The figs, Eric Mickle and What’s-his-face.
Another look at the furniture. Though quickly built and not the most original; there is something about the brown/tan mix I find very appealing.
Finally, a closing shot of the vig.
Happy Holidays! Don’t murder me okay!?!?

Impressive! I can definitely see a resemblance to my MOC, I gues great minds think alike! The colouration is brilliant, and I really like the chimney and fireplace. The roof is also excellent. Great work! |

It's too big to me, unless it's in clusters, then that would make it okay. |

Very, Very, well done. The roof is probably the most impressive part of tipis build. I love it! The fire place, the tree. It all adds up to a rather impressive and professional build. Well done! 5/5! ~Stay green! |

You could have added a snowman though.

I don't think your Sig-Fig is going to get any presents from Santa...
And no one else either, thanks to him stealing all Santas gifts, to remind you of the true meaning of Christmas. It's the most evil thing ever! >=P |

Nicely done! I can totally imagine what happens after this scene: the snowball explodes in the guy's face, you do a leaping forward roll, land on your feet, and dive through the window before the guy's coffee even hits the floor.
Lol. Reminds me of that RvB episode from last season, the one where South kills the coffee rebel. |

LOL! But how did the "teen" smash into the perimeter if the door is still closed? ;)
Like a Ninja! No, but the shut door provided the stud to make that pose possible. |
