A lady firefighter ready for duty!

I love the hair on this minifig - it flows over her shoulders and sits just nicely. 🙂 I have to say it’s nice that they made a woman firefighter too.

After my friend Jess mentioned that I’d found myself a 2011 Advent Calendar and had been posting it up thinking it was a 2012 one, I had to scrabble to find the right one (justifying LEGO 101: Temporal Accuracy!) So… I’m playing catch up and here’s day 3.

A shout-out has to go to ToysEtc, their shipping process must be great because they got my calendar to me in under 24 hours. They also tend to have some good sales on, so they’re worth checking out 🙂

P-Tower Laser Cannon

By the coloration I thought it was an Empire weapon, but it seems that it was used in the Battle of Hoth by the Rebels 🙂

Sorry for the photos today, I really need to improve my photography situation, and I was in a rush 🙂 Hopefully in the next couple of days I’ll have built a little “studio” to make the photos a big cleaner 🙂

Rebel Snow Fighter

The LEGO Star Wars code for day 12 is 9497.

Teach a man to fish… and he’ll never go hungry.

A cute one for today, a fish on the end of a little rubber whip/rod and a fire to cook it on.

The AT-AT was always one of my favourite “bad guy” vehicles, with its loping walk and huge firepower. It just seems so adorable now in micro scale, like a little puppy 🙂

The terrifying AT-AT

Today’s LEGO Star Wars game code is 9489.

Last year I started camping with a group of my friends from the SCA. The SCA is a large group of medieval re-enactors, and while we stay in big tents and don’t have electricity, we still have running water, toilets and some of the other niceties of life 🙂

We had a couple of Coleman On-Demand Portable Water Heater systems, but they were finicky, dropping out regularly and requiring small expensive LPG canisters and constant refilling of their water bottle because they couldn’t be connected to mains water. Their $400 cost wasn’t particularly inviting either if we wanted to scale up.

All rugged up and ready to chop :)

Logistics is as important as the firemen themselves - without them they’d never get anywhere 🙂
