Advent: Calendars Summary

Sunday, 24th December 2017 By Caz

It’s time to do a recap of all the nice models I’ve built from the two Advent Calendar sets I’ve had. The Star Wars one had a model behind each door, so after building them all I have a nice set of Star Wars related minifigs and miniature builds. I may well break a few up but I like some of the Microscale spaceships enough to keep them for my Micropolis Space Port, to be built someday! They all look good posed together on the flap of the box.

Unfortunately because many of the bricks are re-used for multiple models, you can’t see all of the 24-in-1 builds side by side. But here are a handful of my favourites from the set – I really enjoyed building all the models and with the odd exception, it was easy to see what they were, even if they were only tiny.

Advent: Day 24

Star Wars - Day 24
Star Wars – Day 24

Two very festive builds today, on the last day of Advent. Star Wars gives us a snowboard-riding BB8 Minifig with a red Santa hat. I think they missed a treat here by not making him into a snowman – after all, he’s the perfect shape!

And of course Santa Claus himself features in the 24-in-1 build. He has a gift to deliver, and I love the use of the white croissant piece to represent a big bushy moustache to go with his beard!

There is a handy hover-sled behind the Star Wars door today, just the thing to get those presents delivered – might as well start early to avoid the Christmas rush!

And talking of Christmas, this lovely little tree is the build for today from 24-in-1, festooned with ornaments.

Star Wars - Day 22
Star Wars – Day 22

This is a miniature AT-ST Walker, which given its diminutive stature is actually pretty true to the right shape. I’m not sure it’s much of a threat though!

Perhaps the pilot is heading towards the pile of presents which the 24-in-1 gave us today? Here! Hands off!

Advent: Day 21

Thursday, 21st December 2017 By Caz

Star Wars - Day 21
Star Wars – Day 21

We are presented with an Imperial Ground Crew minifigure today, he looks pretty menacing so I’ll do as I’m told!

The 24-in-1 build is a bit more practical today, showing us a bright red snow plough vehicle in Microscale.

Advent: Day 20

Wednesday, 20th December 2017 By Caz

This Imperial Hovertank adds another spacecraft to the list, with a fairly simple but effective build from behind Star Wars door 20. I like the inclusion of the orange ingot piece to add a bit of colour. I’m not sure how accurate to the original ship it is, as I haven’t seen the film. But it’s another nice little ship to have.

I would love to get my paws around this tiny mug of steaming tea though! Just the thing for a cold winter’s day…
