25. Lego set 70412 Pirates, the soldiers fort.

Catherine, ahoy there, oy!
Hello Miriam, what's up? 
Will you help me build my Lego set I got for Xmas. 

Everyone else is still asleep. 
Sure okay. 


Do you need your sword to do this?
Absolutely, it is the enemy's fort no less. I need to be on my guard, there's crew to protect, and well the prospect of some treasure. 



I can even use it to help open the box. 
3 bags of pieces
And a thick book of instructions. Bag number 1,

Ar! Even the first out is a soldier. 

Fear not we have 2 sea dogs. 

Run little soldier run. 
Ehehehe, I mean arharharhar. 

More building. 

Uh oh, there's a cannon


And a cute little green tree frog
Oh no, sneaky cute green tree frog, row pirates row, row faster. 

Ooh next bag
There's a girl, and she's not some damsel in distress either, a sword and britches. 

No evil enemy, sneaky frog, sneaky girly

Bag number 2

There she is, maybe she'll realise a sea life is more exciting and join the crew. 

Evil general and his cool spyglass 


Another froggy, and those bricks look like bricks. (Great picture, there are indents like a brick wall, between the bricks, on each block)

Building building building a building 
Ooh awesome. 
What are the grey bits near the lamp post Miriam?
Hmm not sure, solar panels maybe. 

Look at this, the gaol door opens. 

I know it's a gaol mateys, but wait look at this. 

The wall can be pulled out, you know by rope or dynamite or something. 


Bag number 3.

Yes, we have treasure. 

Building building building more building
Ta da. This is cool even if it's the enemy.  Theres even a winch to get the treasure up to the next floor.

 AHHH 
WHEN CONSTABULARY DUTY'S TO BE DONE, TO BE DONE, A POLICEMAN'S LOT IS NOT A HAPPY ONE (happy one). 
 
**
Yes I know these are soldiers, but I couldn't help myself. 
I should have done the modern major general song too, but I'll spare you my singing. 

Hoh, Catherine, when's the next giftable event?
Specifically piratical?
Eeeeeeeee
September. 
Oh. Look at the kraken, look at the kraken. 
Save up some treasure, save up some treasure. 

Well mateys, back to the ship. The cap'n will be pleased to know you found the location of more treasure. 

In the meantime I'll bury the spares in the treasure chest.
