I know much of the US, and the world is enduring a cold snap at the moment, so the charm of a snowy medieval village might be lessened a bit. But just look at this excellent diorama by builder soccersnyderi. Despite it's apparent scale, the whole thing fits on a 48x48 baseplate. It also has a feature I've never seen before, pull out room interiors. Three little vignettes that slide out of the structures to reveal a little bit if medieval life.
I'm not a skier, I haven't been skiing in 30 years, and I wasn't good back then, in fact I was terrible. But one of the things I did enjoy about the experience was sipping hot chocolate in the warm and cozy lodge after the day freezing and face-planting on the slopes (I won't go into details about the rescue sled incident, but it wasn't pretty). I doubt I'll ever strap on skis again, but seeing this wonderful chalet by builder SEBASTIAN-Z sure makes me crave hot chocolate and a warm fire while the snow falls outside. Meanwhile I'll enjoy the 81º weather here in California.
Inception was a cool movie, and this was a cool scene. Naturally, this is a cool MOC (lots off cool going on, perhaps it's all the snow). Project Azazel brings us this Inception inspired MOC, with tons of great but subtle detail. Check out the tracks under the Snow Cat.

Do Classic Space minifigures have roles assigned by color, like in Star Trek or the U.S. Navy’s flight deck crews? We grab our metal detectors and dig into LEGO history (and the data) to find out!
Space MOCs usually have a very defined look and feel, but what can you do if you image LEGO space as a near-future colony on a colorful alien planet instead? Kimberly Giffen takes us on a tour of her take on LEGO Space.
Think you know LEGO Space? Think again. Before Blacktron hit the shelves, there was Jim Spaceborn, a forgotten comic that hinted at villains, megaships, and an entire LEGO publishing universe lost in time.
