Hi, I have been a long time admirer of MOC designs & this was my first attempt - Happy to hear feedback to improve this. I know the moc baseplate isn't the best & hope to improve it. Same with a couple of other elements. I as well didn't have time to add a full sticker for the jeweller. As well, I left both of the ad board open to suggestions & for enthusiasts to write there own stories there.

The Artisans’ Chalet is inspired by traditional alpine villages found in France and Switzerland, where skilled craftspeople historically lived and worked together under one roof. The model represents a shared chalet at a mountain pass, combining a barber, jeweller, and artist’s studio.

As seen in one of the photos - the artists work is displayed next to a water fountain and lamp - This resembles the villages changing of time to modern arts & local community support. His artwork is also seen along the stairs up to his loft across from a letter box. As seen in the artists studio/loft he owns a bicycle a traditional mode of transportation in village life - maybe this is a hint for another MOC in the series. Another painting of the artist hangs there too.

The set contains 7 minifigures:

Étienne - The Barber

Matthieu - The Painter

Lucas - The Painter's Son

Markus - The Jeweller

Lukas - The Jeweller's Security

Henri - The Village Mayor

Antoine - The Gardener

Hans-Peter - A Village Local

I hope The Artisans’ Chalet can be the first of a 'mini' moc series I hope to pursue with niche sets for an Alpine Village. I was inspired to bridge the gap between medieval and modular & hopefully meet in the middle somewhere.

Hope you enjoy the idea and concept!
