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!

KINGDOMS Day 19 - And A Pikeman 'hind A Christmas Tree


 Ooo, a Christmas tree! What's it hiding?

 
A pikeman!



Pieces of pikeman


Pikeman restored!


Tada! Another wonderful addition to the medieval world

CITY Day 19 - I've Been Training for this Christmas Blog All My Life


19 days, 19 doors - let's get to it!


Ooh, a train car - looks like it has clasps for additional train cars to be attached eventually!


Spillage!


Buildage!


And now we only have 5 left!

KINGDOMS Day 18 - A Sharp and A-peel-ing Reveal


Once again, my apologies for the delay in posting the pics of the Day 18 opening in the Kingdom.


But as you can see, not much was missed here - another Kinder surprise level build...


An apple. A pot.  And two knives.  The extent of the construction - or deconstruction rather - is merely pulling the knives apart from their tether.


Oh look! The apple and knife, together at last!


Looks like the maiden is looking to fix herself up some apple slices! Yum!
 

And so 18 days in, we are now 75 percent done the calendar.
