Advent Calendar Day 12 & 13

Okay I must admit that building a set a day is not easy for me.



But seeing a very set get build up and displayed is certainly rewarding. Let us look at the 2 Advent pieces first. The wooden duck set is a tribute to the roots of Lego which actually started with the company making wooden toys first. The other set is the almost obligatory robber from Lego City. These 2 are so so, just fillers for the Advent Calendar.

The bakery and the snowplough vehicle are certainly the builds that take up more effort on my part but also are much more rewarding. The bakery has a lot of food accessories in it but too bad the set did not contain extra spares. Overall a fantastic build with nice dark red ties mixed without some nougat brown pieces. Quite a rare combo.

The snowplough vehicle has a very nice colour scheme as well, it contains 2 of the many favourite colours that I like from Lego, tan and dark blue. The unique part of this set is the detachable plough in the front. It is able to move in certain degrees of freedom as well or it can be removed to be like a normal truck.

I look at my box and see that only 1 building is left and less than half a dozen small builds left. That is great, look forward to completing them, then moving on to the 2 new sets I bought and finally add spare pieces to join them all up.
