On the fifth day of the Advent calendars we get a cute little gingerbread house (City), a pug dog (Friends), and a man with a gun (Star Wars). Meanwhile the Christmas Build-Up model is a little windmill, and with the leftovers I built a tropical fish.
The city model is pretty minimal – 8 round 1×1 tiles, a pair of hinges, and a 2×2 plate. But it makes a pretty convincing little gingerbread house:
But if you thought the 11 pieces of the City model was minimalist, how about just one part in the Friends model?! It’s a pug:

If you want to build yesterday’s model (Dachshund) I’ve added the instructions to yesterday’s post.
[Added Dec 6th] Here are the instructions for today’s fish:
