Day 13 - Grandmother Frost Dresghar: "Legends from the north say that a kind old lady is wandering at night in the frozen forests, bringing presents to well-mannered children."
-
@socalbricks So cool you managed to get the vampire bassist! The employees at your LEGO Store seem to be great! Oh well, he can brew all he wants, just not with lab equipment! @Robert8 Oh wow, thank you so much!
-
@Eyrezer, @Sympatik Brick : actually just a round tile with pin holder (indeed) and the Disney genie's black and gold plume!
-
Day 12 - Alchemy Table Alrune: "Eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog..." Dresghar: "Sweetheart, could you please stop humming that? Such an earworm!"
-
@Sympatik Brick Indeed, I've really enjoyed your use of yellow arms as yellow sleeves on fleshies! It does look great! @Robert8 Thank you!
-
A snowglobe vendor - such an awesome idea, and excellent choice of parts! I also love the design of the roasted chestnut cart. Nice use of the acorn printed tile too! Pastry shop looks yummy, and the shape of the snowdrift behind the snowman is top notch. Great additions to your christmas market!

Day 11 - Alembic Dresghar: "Is that the same kind of appliance that can be used to brew liquor? What…why are you staring at me like that, honey? I'm just asking." --- Note: next week, I'll be on a work trip in another continent and a very different time zone. I should still be able to update the advent calendar every day, but the timing might be off.

@williejm & @DBlegonerd7 Thank you so much! I think medieval-fantasy female characters are not really easy to design in LEGO, since there are rather few obviously female parts available for such a setting. Especially dresses and fancy outfits. And especially for fleshies. I have to admit it: I love the amount of brainstorming and experimenting it takes to find nice combos for such minifigs. @socalbricks Thank you very much! The Ravenclaw dress is my favourite skirt part (more metallic blue, please!), but I have not found many torsos that goes well with it...

Day 10 - Festive Alrune Dresghar: "Once a year, during the festive winter season, my niece suddenly remembers she's a princess and dresses accordingly..."
-
@Frike Awww, thank you so much! So glad you enjoy this advent calendar so much - I think your comment made my day! @jtooker Thank you! I've had that idea in mind for a while... @Kai NRG Thank you very much! It took me some time to figure out the snake and book combo, I first tried to use the ghost lower body but did not manage to get a look I enjoyed. @Robert8 Thank you so much! I've always loved floating magic books in fantasy games or artworks... @Eyrezer Oh well, Evrart was already back in his armour before entering the library. "I can't properly patrol dressed like a ballerina!" And...you're probably right for the skeleton. I'll remember it when I build Alrune's lab and try to include him in there!
-
Day 9 - Floating tome of pyromancy Evrart: "I was patrolling in the library, and I've been attacked by a freaking pyromaniac grimoire!"
-
@zoth33 Thank you very much! I'm a big fan of those Heroica micro-figs... @Robert8 Well, Embervale is a castle run by an elven sorceress and guarded by goblins...a spooky calendar would definitely be a great idea!
-
@Sympatik Brick Thank you! The head comes from a Hidden Side character (El Fuego). @socalbricks Thank you! That's definitely the idea...
-
Day 8 - Count Scapula Alrune: "The goblins call him the skeleton on a stick. I call him my research assistant!"
-
@socalbricks Thank you so much! (broken record as well) And I agree with you, Historica is now home to so many wonderful and creative minifigs thanks to the CDC2 CMF entries! @W Navarre Thank you! That's indeed the reason I added the rat and the colourful items in the tomb the day before (so much bley!) @Eyrezer Kidnapping a lich (lichnapping?) would be a quest in itself!
-
Day 7 - Lich King Thagrasel Alrune: "The guy who built Embervale Castle a few hundred years ago. Famous for his frightening necromancy powers, mainly, but he was quite a talented dungeon designer as well."
-
@Robert8 Thank you! The rat would have preferred cheese, but oh well...
-
Oooh, how great! They're all top notch! The regular snowman is very classy with its sand blue hat. I have a special fondness for the honey stand - a staple of Christmas Markets around here!
-
@Sympatik Brick Thank you so much! I was deep into my dark age when the last Castle advent calendar was available...and I really feel I have missed something. @Eyrezer Without wikipedia, I'd never have found the name in english! And yes, the plate is from a Mario set (they are available on B&P).
-
Day 6 - Goblin Idol Dresghar: "I'm telling you, that monstrosity is plotting something. Just look at its freaky eyes!"
-
Coming Soon: GoH Book IV: Aliens Invade Historica
-
Day 5 - Tomb Evrart: "That's one very weird tomb effigy." Alrune: "It's called a transi. Funerary art designed to remind the living of the transience of their mortal life - and of the futility of trying to escape those dungeons by magically passing through the walls. It's not a statue, by the way!"
-
@Eyrezer Too busy grumbling!
-
@socalbricks *Gasp. I had no idea I had given such an expensive outfit to a simple guard who does not even apreciate it! It's crazy, the price of this torso is now fourth times the one I paid for it way back in 2019...
-
Day 4 - Festive Evrart Evrart: "I look stupid. I'm a soldier, for Helm's sake! I need armour, not silly frills!"
