Based on the 1988 book by Marie McSwigan of the same title, this small SNOT vignette has been built for over three months but I have never gotten around posting it. In the book, a WWII era group of Norwegian children is commissioned to smuggle nine million dollars in gold bars past Nazi sentries on their sleds. The only way to keep the gold safe is to transport it to America, but moving so much gold so far right under the noses of the Nazis was a task that only the most unsuspecting children could accomplish. At the end of each run, the gold bars would be buried in the snow and marked with a snowman where the captain of the American-bound boat would pick them up. But someone is watching from the shadows...

I love that sled, too bad it's not purist. Lego should really make a piece like that. |

Very nice work, the book sounds really interesting I might have to read it in the future, anyway back to the moc, I really love the sled even though you cheated a little bit but sometimes being inventive is better than being purist ;) |

My mom read this book to my little siblings, and I picked it up and read it too. It was a neat story, and your creation does it justice! Great work! |

Perfect Minifigs! Everything is perfect, except for the fact that the sled's curved rails aren't lego. TRAITOR. Just kidding. |

I read that book back in fourth grade. Loved it then and you totally did it justice! What a great job! I love the minifigs, Helga and the Nazi look excellent but I just wonder if the dark blue snow cap looks too modern on Peter (is that his name)? But all the snow work is excellent and nice use of those new POTC gold bars. What a genius idea! |
