The water looks great

Really top-notch stuff there, Blake. Love the chandelier and the moose in particular. (as an Alaskan, I appreciate you remembering the dewlap )

Haha, I thought between the nose, antlers, and dewlap, I couldn't really go wrong.

[Left4bricks]

Yeah, it's a great creation, the interior is incredible and harmonious, that's really inspiring me. Your creations on Bilbos'theme ar juste incredible and really innovative.

Yes, the nose in particular has a very "moosey" look to it. Very nicely done.

Whoa I really like this one. Everything is nice but lets mention somethings, the water: first time I see someone use it like this, the windows great. The moose wow great thinking, and use of diffrent bricks, especially use of fig arms the chandelier thats one of my favorites, cause I been planning of making one myself but not figured out what bricks to use. But great moc, nice job.

[Fraslund]

Wow well done sir! You are turning out some really great work.

[Medieval Guy]

Incredible job, both on this and on your entire series. You're sure to win the cross-catagory award for a series of related MOCs.

[Tower of Iron Will]

Well, most of what I was going to say has been said, moose and curtains in particular. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Hey Blego7,

I was just checking this as I was going to make it my Christmas day post on TolkienBricks, but Bilbo and company didn't arrive at Laketown on Yule. That was earlier in the fall. Yule was actually on the trip back to the Shire. From "The Return Journey":

"Anyway by mid-winter Gandalf and Bilbo had come all the way back, along both edges of the Forest, to the doors of Beorn's house; and there for a while they both stayed. Yule-tide was warm and merry there; and men came from far and wide to feast at Beorn's bidding."

And I double-checked the Tale of Years from appendix B - Bilbo was only gone a year, so it's not like he spent so much time at the Lonely Mountain that another year had rolled around by the time he and Gandalf headed back west (he left in 2941 and returned in 2942).

Thank you for the correction Bruce! I might've gotten Beorn's house and Laketown mixed up. I thought it was in there somewhere...

[Ecclesiastes]

Great scene. Love the details like the deer head on the wall!
