For day 10 of Advent (December 10th), I designed and built this model of a skid-steer bulldozer, using the parts from the first 10 days of the Friends and Marvel Advent calendar sets.
For the first week (Days 1-7) I felt that I hadn’t received enough parts yet to do anything very useful so I didn’t try to build a MOC (My Own Instructions) for those days, but after that I built a new one for each day starting with Day 8. Now I’m providing instructions for each of these models. To build it, you’ll need the parts from days 1-10 of both the Friends and Marvel sets, or the same/similar parts from your collection.
Commonly associated with the brand name Bobcat, these small tractors are a fixture of small construction sites everywhere. Check out this interesting history of where the Bobcat came from. I built mine as a bulldozer rather than a loader because I wanted to use the snowboard, but I’ve seen Bobcats with a wide variety of attachments. The original Bobcat was a farm machine long before it was discovered to be useful in construction and demolition.
Here are the instructions to build this model, should you be so inclined.
And here is the list of parts needed:
This year I purchased and built two of the available five calendars LEGO has released: Friends and Marvel. You’ll need these, or at least some of the parts from them, if you want to build the MOCs I designed. If you want the other Advent calendars for 2023, here are some links to them on Amazon: City, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. (But please don’t support Harry Potter, due to the transphobic politics of J. K. Rowling.)
