We’re finally deep in the holiday season so I humbly present to you The 12 Bricks of Christmas!
Our inspiration this week are twelve bricks that we all have likely received on at least one Christmas day.
Rules:
1. No part limit
2. One build using each of the twelve bricks (overachievers may submit twelve builds each featuring a different brick)
3. Build may be anythingDue: December 25th
Prize: All entrants receive a chance to win guaranteed placement on Santa’s “Nice” list
The bricks are:
1×1 round brick
1×1 cone brick
Technic pin w/ stud
Robot arm (older w/ clip, stud, and antistud)
Headlight brick
2×2 dish
1×2 hinge brick
1×1 round plate
1×2 jumper plate
Lever
1×1 plate modified w/ horizontal clip
1×1 plate modified lamp holderThe website didn’t send me email notification of this thread, it came to my attention when I noticed Frost’s photo in my Flick stream. I am liking this one already, Jonah’s entry is quite clever. It’s maybe not quite Febrovery, but I am still looking forward to the next eleven days. We’ll have to see if I am able to come up with an entry in time, I might, although it’s more likely to be of the underachieving type.
@smallfrost I like the one-eyed bug snowman!
@tfdesigns Santa is sure to find your tree with a red guidance light on top! I like the trans-tree design!
@bengood921 I’m torn on tagging people to notify them as those who are tagged may not want to be slammed with update emails and those who aren’t tagged may feel miffed. We need some kind of “you may be interested” notification system.
The second brick of Christmas is two hinge bricks. I used them to angle the front and back of the sleigh.
It’s maybe not quite Febrovery, but I am still looking forward to the next eleven days.
We’re going to get a double treat of “Frosty” goodness – original Frost and Small Frost. Yea!
The third brick of Christmas is three control levers. The little Buggoid got this rover for Christmas!
For the third Brick of Christmas, Dan Walker gave to me
three droid arms,
two hinge brick gifts,
and a trans-red cone to top off my tree.
For the fourth Brick of Christmas, Dan Walker gave to me
four radar dishes,
three droid arms,
two hinge brick gifts,
and a trans-red cone to top off my tree.
@smallfrost that’s a really neat little robot! I like the arms-as-wheels idea.
@tfdesigns those dishes remind me of @bengood921’s space plants – is that a mini Christmas tree?!
I can’t wait to get building once my Christmas break starts!
The fifth brick of Christmas is five technic stud pins. The Buggoids are testing out their new ray blasters.
For the fifth Brick of Christmas, Dan Walker gave to meFIVE GOL – DEN STUDS!
four radar dishes,
three droid arms,
two hinge brick gifts,
and a trans-red cone to top off my tree.
Tom, do you have any issues with posting links from flickr?
I just paste in the URL. It automatically displays the picture and links to the flickr page. The only problem I’ve encountered is when trying to paste more than one in the same post. The site does not like that.
For the sixth Brick of Christmas, Dan Walker gave to me
six clip plates mo-no-railin’
FIVE GOL – DEN STUDS!
four radar dishes,
three droid arms,
two hinge brick gifts,
and a trans-red cone to top off my tree.
For day 7, the buggoids are building snow forts to have a snowball fight. The featured part is the 1×1 round brick.
For the seventh Brick of Christmas, Dan Walker gave to me
seven round bricks rovin’
six clip plates mo-no-railin’FIVE GOL – DEN STUDS!
four radar dishes,
three droid arms,
two hinge brick gifts,
and a trans-red cone to top off my tree.
For day 8, this lucky buggoid gets to put the traditional alien snowflake (featuring 8 1×1 cones) at the top of the Christmas tree.
For the eighth Brick of Christmas, Dan Walker gave to me
eight levers crawling,
seven round bricks rovin’,
six clip plates mo-no-railin’,FIVE GOL – DEN STUDS!
four radar dishes,
three droid arms,
two hinge brick gifts,
and a trans-red cone to top off my tree.
Two things: (1) how the heck are you going to fit all twelve gifts into that room? It’s already getting pretty full. 😀 (2) is anyone else singing the “12 Days of Christmas Song” using Tom’s lyrics? Priceless!
