LEGO Winter Village Dioramas & Display Ideas

by Thita (admin) on December 21, 2021

Setting up and customizing the LEGO Winter Village sets is a favorite holiday pastime of many LEGO fans. If you need some inspiration for your own LEGO Winter Village setup, one of the best places is to look around the Fans of LEGO Winter Village Facebook Group. It is full of ideas for layouts, decorations, custom additions, and more. Below are some of my most recent favorites.

The beautiful diorama above is by LEGO fan BJs Bricks, and below there are several more examples of large layouts with busy scenes featuring the LEGO Winter Village sets by Jeff Lee, Stewart Riley, Dyn Bradshaw, Joanna Jezewska, Hoshin Cho, Josee Alary, Darren Broadbent, Denise Veniza, and Melissa Boerman.

Not everyone has a lot of space for spreading out their LEGO Winter Village. Below are some examples of displaying the sets on shelves by Szilvia Kardos, Michelle Tink Good, Caron Holmes, Ashely Cameron Quinones, and Denny Ehrlich.

Other LEGO sets can also be incorporated into the LEGO Winter Village, like the #76388 LEGO Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village Visit as demonstrated by Hjhb Kluss, a modified version of one of the #10217 LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley buildings by William Ellis. and the #21318 LEGO Ideas Tree House by Jean-Philippe Fieldes.

The gingerbread creations below are by LEGO fan Bricker Parker.

You can also find some fun crossover scenes like this Star Wars-themed sleigh by Randy Stahl.

As you can see, there is no shortage of fun and festive ideas for the holidays!

Minifig-Scale LEGO Vintage Pickup Truck

One of the most popular LEGO sets this Christmas season has been the #10290 LEGO Creator Pickup Truck. Although it isn’t specifically made for Christmas, the vintage style, the dark-red and tan color-scheme, and the included winter decorations like the wreath and festive gifts make this set perfect as a Christmas gift or decoration. If you would like to learn more about this set, check the links at the end of this post.

While the #10290 LEGO Creator Pickup Truck is a lovely set for Christmas, it is much larger than minifig-scale and thus not compatible with the LEGO Winter Village series. This prompted some LEGO fans to try to make a smaller version of the vintage pickup so it can be added to the LEGO Winter Village scene.

If you would like to build your own mini pickup truck, I recommend the version above by Miro, as it comes with step-by-step building instructions and a parts-list that can be downloaded from Rebrickable. Please note that there are a couple of rare pieces in this model, but they can be substituted with other pieces. One of those rare pieces is the dark-red roof element, but it can be replaced with two 2×4 tiles. And the dark-red door hinges are rare as well. You could make the doors fixed, at least temporarily, until you can order the right parts online. Or, you may be able to find some other solution with the parts you already have. To see the full parts-list and to download the building instructions, visit this Rebrickable page: 1950s Pickup Truck by Miro

I also recommend checking out some of the other custom building instructions by Miro, like the LEGO Winter Village Tram, the LEGO Winter Village Train Station, the LEGO Winter Village Cider Mill, and many other delightful and cute models.

What do you think? How do you like the mini version of the vintage pickup truck? Are you planning to add it to your LEGO Winter Village? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
