My LEGO®-related Rambles
This Funky Falcon is my MOD of LEGO Star Wars Set 75193, the Millennium Falcon Microfighter.
I bought the Millennium Falcon Microfighter and built it quickly. “It’s rather grey”, I thought to myself. So I had a rummage around my parts collection and came up with a selection of pieces in much more funky colours. Watch the speed build and see me test the stud shooters!
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.
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!
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.
Star Wars has given us several “baddies” so far, and here’s another – a rather serious-looking Imperial Officer, gun-totin’ and he means business. Let’s not get him angry!
I would much rather engage with this tasty-looking plate of cakes from the 24-in-1 set! They look good enough to eat.
There was another minifig behind the Star Wars door for Day 14. This time it’s a First Order Snowtrooper. They do look rather similar now, don’t they? Stormie will have to tell me who all his random cousins really are.
The 24-in-1 build was a great little lighthouse perched on a 4×4 baseplate, which was even big enough for it to get its own little beach!
