Sorry it’s taken me this long to put together the instructions to wrap up this series — using all the parts from all 24 days of the 2023 Friends and Marvel Advent calendars. I built an extra large Xmas tree using mostly parts from the two trees we got earlier in the month from those sets: Marvel day 24 and Friends day 12.

This is the penultimate of my MOCs (my original creations) that I built in December, on Advent day 23 made from the first 23 days of the Friends and Marvel Advent calendars.

Of course that resulted in a much smaller model, as I didn’t have that many white parts to work with … but this is what I came up with.

When I sat down to build the 19th day model I still faced the same issue with too many colors, and thought to myself, what else is that colorful? Then it came to me, a birbd*! I continued with my builds using the first 19 days of the Friends and Marvel Advent calendars. I have no idea what species this would be, but I think it has some strong birbd energy.
