I've never had a lego advent calendar (though bought all the parts to the castle one in an ebay lot) but have been enjoying various people's own versions that they've been posting on flickr. It occurred to me that it would have been fun to do an 'unofficial' castle one (perhaps we can organise that for next year...) but having missed Dec 1st I've decided to do a 12 day castle fig countdown. Here's a woodcutter chopping logs from a tree... And here's a fish-wife selling fish for your tea... Deep in the snow here is a frost troll...

These are really fun builds. It would be cool for us to do a whole advent thing next year, maybe having everyone do mini-castle-builds for each day.

I've done down to 1 now (took the time while I had it, rather than trying to do stuff Christmas eve etc!) so just need to post one a day. Yes I think there's plenty of scope for an advent calendar contest or just for fun, maybe next year. Here are 9-7... Deep under ground a dwarf's mining for coal... An ice queen and ice cutter are decorating the tree... A carol singer by the fire is singing with glee...

Outstanding. I love the combination of medieval slice of life and holiday spirit in each of these.

Here comes the Nutcracker, no nut is too hard... A piper to cheer you with songs from the bard... Rudy the reintaur will pull Old Red's sleigh... Mrs Claus cooks a turkey, for Christmas day... (Only two more to go).

Haha! "Reintaur". Awesome. Nice rhyme time, Andy. Good series so far I'm glad someone noticed the rhymes... or at least finally commented on it! As for the reintaur, I figured if you can get minotaurs and centaurs, why not reintaurs Here's todays: An elf is preparing one final toy... I'll post the final one here when I can... but if you can't wait, then check my flickr stream tomorrow (Christmas Eve) about midday GMT. www.flickr.com/photos/andhe/EDIT: Here's the final one... ...and here's jolly Santa to bring Christmas joy!
