So I brought in some Lego to decorate in work again this year. There's only a couple of new things since my setup last year. There's a few Lego baubles hanging from the ceiling and the more ornament type sets are on my desk.
Anyone that has come in to take a look I've asked if they want to make a minifig to put in the display. A few have played around with the figures, even setting up a polar bear to attack the Gingerbread baby.
There's a colleague retiring next year who goes above and beyond decorating the office each year and asking me for weeks leading up to December if I'm making anything. So I took too long to make a larger scale version of her desk and a section of her office with her decorations.
I was working on a Star for Christmas Tree. I used lots of leaves and some lights. Hope you enjoy it.
It was showed in Limerick at Brickmas event.

For contest Recycle My Bicycle at New Elementary
When another Part Fest came out and I saw Bone Fish made by Ben Tritschler, he inspired me to do a fish.
I used two new bicycle parts to make it. I connected them using Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Horizontal (61252) and plate round. I added few parts like Minifigure, Wing Feathered (11100), Cattle Horn - Long (13564), Arm with Technic Pin (28660).
Introducing my two city MOCs built to date.
First, the pub and bookshop.
Missing pieces finally arrived, complete with stand now ready for Wexford.

The classic European dragon dates back countless centuries, possibly arising from Germanic origins. In its earliest renditions, it is depicted as having four great legs and wings at shoulder position. Traditionally, the European dragon has a strong penchant for golden treasure, the more the better, and is often seen slumbering atop a massive hoard, gathered in the depths of a stronghold. Many a brave knight has lost their life trying to vanquish such a beast.
So in 2008 I built a model of the pet shop my sister was running as a modular building. There were some things I'd do differently now, but I was happy enough with it as a build.
However, during 2009, I got commissioned to build a model of a post office for An Post. As the deadline was really tight, I just built a new ground floor and borrowed the upper floors from the pet shop.
This went down well, but the poor pet shop has sat on a shelf all these years with no top half, so wasn't really displayable.
I finally got around to recreating the upper floors.
