Advent Madness: CASTLE Day 12

Advent Madness Day Twelve


CASTLE
(Open the Doors Here)



Mine Cart with extra wheel and jumper brick

Day Twelve brings us Day Three of the Dwaven Miner Sub-Theme - a rolling mining cart.

A ten part set (twelve with the extras), this mini-model is another small victory for the Castle Advent. The construction is fairly simple, yet teaches young builders the essentials of using a jumper brick to create an easy-to-separate surface. (The box of the cart separates from the wheeled base.) The CITY advent tried to show a similar construction trick, but inexplicably broke the model up over two days.

This should conclude the Dwarf-run - let's hope LEGO keeps the momentum going with a strong set tomorrow!

Am I the only one glad that they have a spare Indiana Jones mini-fig to go with this?

"Twelve" is misspelled in the blog post.

As for the mine cart, I wonder if BrikWars allows a cart to have a concealable weapon of some sort?

Word verification: propdort - whatever that is!
