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 16

Saturday, 16th December 2017 By Caz

Star Wars - Day 16
Star Wars – Day 16

There’s another Microscale spaceship today in the Star Wars set, representing Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle. It looks like a menacing craft, all black and shiny – but from a practical perspective, it doesn’t sit very steadily once you’ve build it.

One of my favourite models so far in the 24-in-1 set is this lovely little Robin. I can imagine it going bob-bob-bobbing along.

Haul #3: AFOLs Christmas Party

Tuesday, 12th December 2017 By Caz

I got home late last night from the London AFOLs Christmas Party, so I had a proper look at my haul this morning. My Secret Santa gift was set 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase. I also came away with a City Police Microlight Polybag (30018) from the Pass The Parcel, a little bag of bits and 3 light bricks from the AFOLs and some GBC balls from Alex so I can have a go at making a Great Ball Contraption module for a show in the New Year.

It didn’t take long for Catwoman to start cracking the whip to get her set built!

But first I tackled the Microlight, which was very quickly put together.

Once I had finished building the Catcyle Chase, I added the microlight to complete this little vignette – Catwoman is trying to get away with some precious jewels, but the Policeman, Batgirl and Robin are hard on her heels.

I probably won’t keep the set made up for long, but I do like the minifigures – especially the purple ones!
