Lego Christmas 2015 Part 1

Heh, I am a terrible person at updating stuff. So much went on in 2015, from changing jobs to moving to a new place of my own, my Lego blog posts basically fell to the wayside. Besides this is more like an online diary for me and my quest as I journey to fight and do battle with Lego for my wallet. Obviously the Dark Side is winning.

Anyways, with my own place I was allowed to make displays for my Lego. Which promptly failed spectacularly when I realised I had made too few display cabinets. Lesson to self, there can NEVER be enough display.

So, for this festive season, I actually packed and hidden away my modulars to make way for the Winter Village sets, just for the month of December. It will be another mini epic journey to pack the Winter Village sets and set up the modulars again. But hey this is getting value out of your Lego sets. Lets get down to the sets themselves!

This time I will not go through each set, instead I will just take pictures of the whole setup and focus on parts that I like. Okay I forgot to do a picture set for the Lego 10245 Santa's Workshop in my excitement...


The display shelf is long so it is not really possible to catch a panoramic view with my mobile phone. Also the glass panels will kind of ruin it. So here is the whole setup shot from the 2 ends instead before we dive into particular scenes.

The right side...








The theme this year is that the stormtroopers on the death star are on shore leave. The whole winter village will be razed to the ground after this of course. Classified plans and all you know.

Here you can see in the background the Lego 6776 Imperial Dropship dropping off one batch of stormtroopers for shore leave. As you can see some of them have already starting drinking. Drink and flying...not a good combo.





Here I was experimenting with round tiles as pavements and found that it was very nice. Unfortunately I was not able to Bricklink enough of them to connect the entire winter village up. Next year's project it shall be!






The gazebo is clearly a good place for stormtroopers to discuss the finer aspects of missing targets with their blasters...



Okay that's all for now, stay tuned for Part 2!
