Advent 2016 Day 6

For the 6th day of this year’s LEGO Advent Calendars and Christmas Build-Up sets, we get a snowplow for the snowmobile (City), a cute little animal and its habitat (Friends), a snow trooper (Star Wars), and a chimney with stocking (Build Up). I also built a one-horse open sleigh with leftover parts from the Build Up set.

Here’s the City model – bet you were wondering why there was a ball socket on the front of that snowmobile!

On Friends we get a cute little animal – maybe a hamster or guinea pig? – and a nice little habitat with a vegetable for it to gnaw on and a water dispenser.

We continue the violent leadup to Life Day in Star Wars with the snow trooper from Empire Strikes Back. The scale is WAY off from yesterday’s Ion Cannon – is it selective compression?

He’s got a printed tile on his backpack that I haven’t seen before.

Meanwhile in Christmas Build Up we get a hearth. I didn’t get very far before I had to take apart yesterday’s model to get parts.

Christmas Build Up 2016 Day 6

With the leftover parts I cobbled together a One Horse Open Sleigh, as in the Jingle Bells song.

Update 12/8: I realized too late I had forgot to include the spare parts with the Friends and Star Wars model photos, so I took one more photo:
