Today we are covering days 3 and 4 of the Advent calendars since I fell asleep on the couch yesterday and didn’t get Day 3 done! Not an auspicious beginning. I really need to start doing these in advance instead of trying to get it done the day of! Anyway, today we get a dog with a bone and a skateboard with helmet (City), the Little Mermaid and her castle (Disney), a snowboard ramp and a bunny (Friends), and some street furniture (Spider-Man).
Day 3
City gives us a dog with a bone.
Disney’s model is Ariel, the Little Mermaid, as a mini-minidoll.
Friends gives us a snowboard ramp with board and helmet.
The Spider-Man (Marvel) model is a newspaper vending machine (remember these) and a trash can. The side of the newspaper machine opens up to accommodate a backpack, and the side of it is a piece of spider web.
Here are all the Day 3 models together as a group.
Day 4
The City model for today is a skateboard with helmet.
Disney’s model for Day 4 is the micro scale castle for Ariel.
Friends gives us a bunny and some pet show props.
And Spider-Man’s model for Day 4 is more street furniture, this time it’s a streetlight on a corner with streetsigns and a closed-circuit TV camera pointing down at a banana peel.
And here are the Day 4 models staged together:
MOC
The MOC I built for today is a kid riding the skateboard being pulled along by the dog, carrying a gift. I managed to include at least 1 part from each of the above 8 models! (As a bit of a cheat, there’s a 1×2 plate on the bottom of the skateboard.)
This year I’m doing the 2024 City, Disney, Friends, and Marvel Advent Calendars. Also posting daily videos in my YouTube channel.
