Lightbulb K'Nex Forum Contest #2: Gingerbread House

Welcome to the second contest here at the K'Nex Forum. Since it is December and all, this contest focuses on a holiday tradition: the Gingerbread House. Your goal is to build the best looking gingerbread house out of K'Nex that you can. You will definitely want your house to be decorated and decked out to the season. Your house can be as big and elaborate as you wish and can contain non K'Nex parts.


Example of a real Gingerbread House.

Deadline: Entries are due by the end of the day on December 31st, 2009. Entries should be added to the Models Database, and the link posted here.

Prize: contest award tag(coming soon), your own Wordpress blog off knexforum.com

Good luck, happy building, and Happy Holidays!

Could you please explain a bit more about "gingerbread houses"? Can it also be another kind of building? We don't have these in Holland.

Basically any holiday themed building is acceptable.

Do Holiday themed coaster stations count? They are technically a knex building.

"het peperkoekenhuisje uit gansje en grietje"

I'm skipping also. I'm already busy with another Knex contest.

Not sure if this will last if there is no interest. My idea was to provide a pretty simple contest that didn't take much time to build.

I'd enter if it you could build anything Christmas-themed, not just a house.

^ try to look at the date before you post please. This was from almost a year ago, and is long over.
