Not in the festive mood yet?


Well, then you need some urgent Christmas cheering up! And what's better than some great fan-made lego advent calenders? I'm sure most of us have been following one of these for the past 21 days, and if you haven't it's time to start catching up!
Certainly the best of the bunch this year is Powerpig's brilliant shots using the contents of the Lego City advent calendar. You may enjoy the shots, but think more about the pictures: you open the little window of the calendar not knowing what you're going to get, but by the end of the day you need to have built it (not so hard, I admit), worked out what it was, created a set-up and photographed it. Tough work even for Powerpig.




Similar to Powerpig yet sadly not as popular, Fanboy 30 is following the Lego Pirates advent calendar, which wasn't available in the US for some reason. As I live in the UK, I managed to get one so it was fun to see what Fanboy 30 does with the little models I found in the window that morning.






Finally, MisaQa has been quietly making her own advent calendar, where she makes microscale Lego models of buildings in her town. Though they may not be as exciting as some of Powerpig's or Fanboy30's stuff, it still deserves some recognition. And besides, we're a Lego blog, not a photography blog.

I think the third pic (boys peering over the wall) identified as by Powerpig is a download from LEGO.com (http://city.lego.com/en-us/downloads/posters.aspx).

I'm pretty sure those are Powerpig's, Ted, though I'm not sure what TLG are doing with them. Maybe he makes them for TLG?
