OhioDwight is overwhelmed by his MOC on the left—unabashedly inspired by the LEGO® 2016 Toy Soldier ornament [5004420]; which is based on The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky; which is based on Hoffmann’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.

Ed. note 1 The marching band trumpet player ornament represents an all percussion and silver-plated brass university marching band. Imagination replaces the metalized gold bugle with a silver-plated trumpet.

Ed. note 2 The imagined silver-plated trumpet is upside-down because OhioDwight couldn’t figure out how to make it right-side-up in LEGO Digital Designer 4.3.11 brick version 2670.
