All Together Now!

 

Pardon the angle!

KINGDOMS Day 24 - The Wise Man


What is in Ye Olde Day 24 door?


Ah, a good and wise Magi!


Look at the fun glowy magic wands

 
It's the decals on his hat that show that he is a true Magi - follow those stars!


The Kingdom is complete!

CITY Day 24 - All Aboard! Santa Claus is Coming to Town!


Here we are - the final day of the City calendar!


Ooh! It's Santa driving the locomotive for the train set!


A minifig AND a toy - so great!


Hm - it appears that the flash mostly washed out his eyes... I assure you, Santa has eyes!


Choo-choo! All aboard the Santa train! Next stop - your Christmas tree!


All together, at last!

KINGDOMS Day 23 - Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

 
Second last medieval day - also taking photos with the new phone's camera


It's... a blurry mess!  But it's supposed to be some kind of medieval oven/cooking table...thing...


Ah, the low light settings seems to have improved picture quality.


It is sooo amazing that the apple fell off of Good Sir Knight's head!

Also - looks like I messed up again and forgot the group shot!  I had best not forget tomorrow, as it is the last day for opening the calendars!




CITY Day 23 - O Christmas Tree!



Day 23 - second last day!  I got a new phone, so I am trying out the camera on it... sadly it does not have an LED flash, so close up and low light is a bad combo :(



It's a Christmas Tree

Ah - I guess this family doesn't have a real tree - they have to put it together.

That's better! And it even has a pretty little star on top!


And only one more door to open... anybody have any guesses what it will be?

KINGDOMS Day 22 - Owl Yourself An Aerie Little Christmas


Who's so funny Mr. Jester that you can't stop laughing?


Oh! The owl is funny! That's whoo!


No, don't shoot the owl Crossbowman!


Ah, now the owl has a nice little shrubbery to perch upon.


Or maybe the owl is a pet of the maiden?  They seem to get along.

Insert group shot here... yeah I forgot to take one on this day for the Kingdoms Calendar... :S I am really slipping as the month goes on!

CITY Day 22 - Santa, Get to the Choppa!


Day 22, fire engine pulling out of the station
 

A toy helicopter


Blackhawk Down!


Ah, much better.



 Only 2 more days remaining!

KINGDOMS Day 21 - Bow William-Tell it on the Mountain


Day 21 - what is in your attic?


A crossbowman! Complete with quiver


Needs some work


Much better! 


Okay now, Good Sir Knight... DON'T MOVE!



Sad to see it coming so close to an end...

CITY Day 21 - Ticket to Ride


Okay - so I'm running behind as we approach Christmas... Let's cut to the chase!


Another train car - complete with coupling attachments


Fancy ball joint attachments


Ready to go yellow train car?


Attach!



I've got a feeling there is still one more piece for this train to come... maybe tomorrow?

KINGDOMS Day 20 - You Better Duck and Cover, I'm Telling You Why - Catapults are Shelling Your Town


Aw, look at the soldiers having fun skating on the castle moat!
 


Ooh! Bring in the heavy artillery!  A catapult.

It is worth mentioning the little "Do Not Harm Others" image in the bottom left corner of the door.  If I were the guy in the image though, I'd be more concerned with the red line bisected my head than the small black projectile embedded in me.
 

Looks like it has ample ammo!


Ready to deliver... uh, presents! Yes, presents over enemy walls!




The soldier is ready to give the order... FIRE!



Only 4 more to go!

CITY Day 20 - O Little LEGO Bulldozer


Wow - we're into the 20s now folks!  What's going to come out of the back of the truck?


 Ooh! A bulldozer companion for the crane!


Looks like these pieces could benefit from having a bulldozer sweep them away!


And here we have it, a brand spanking new bulldozer.


Look at all of those opened doors... only a few more to build!
