Advent 2016 Day 4

For the 4th day of the LEGO Advent Calendars, we get another musical firefighter, this time blowing a horn, for City; a weird little bush with a burning candle for Friends; and a mean looking guy with a gun for Star Wars. The Christmas Build Up set model for today is a cute monkey, and I built a jet fighter with the leftover parts.

Our guitar wielding firefighter from before (oh I get it, she has an AXE!) is joined by a horn blowing companion.

In Friends, we get this weird little build with a bush and some red flowers, and a candle with a flame.

The Star Wars model is a guy with a helmet that reminds me of the one Mel Brooks wore in Spaceballs, and a blaster gun. It’s shaping up to be a pretty violent Life Day.

Here are all three models together.

Meanwhile the Christmas Build Up model for today is a cute little monkey. I didn’t peek ahead when I built the dog yesterday, I swear! It didn’t use any of the parts from the gift I built yesterday, but it did of course use a lot of parts from the dog.

Here is a view of the backside of the monkey.

With the leftover parts, I built a fighter jet.

Here is the back of the fighter.

Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s models … check back every day for more! Sorry this one got out a little late – my excuse is that the lights I use to take the pictures are battery-powered, and apparently I left them on after yesterday’s shoot! In the true spirit of Advent Calendars I don’t build the models ahead of time, but only build and shoot them on the actual day. So sometimes that means a little delay.
