Oh hell yes, Metal Earth! This is freaking awesome. And did you notice the interior? Not only does it have the beds, it has the chandelier! I can’t wait to get this, my daughter is going to freak! She loves Harry Potter and purple is her favorite color, too. Now… the next question is… can […]
Review Build: ISS: Rocket Surgery
Apparently, my subconscious didn’t think that this build was challenging enough. My conscious mind disagrees, but my subconscious had it out for me. Because it would not let go of the fact that I discovered, after the first build session, that there were spacecraft docked to the ISS, and that was just begging to be […]
Review Build: ISS: Russian Into Things
Forgive me for the bad pun, but it’s who I am. If there is a pun opportunity, I am going to take it. And that means that when the model starts with the Russian components of the International Space Station, then I’m going to make a bad joke. Nevermind the fact that I didn’t actually […]
Review Build: ISS: It Has Begun
Well, I promise I didn’t steal that front Brad / AnimateOrange. I decided to start my next build, and it’s going to be a long one. And I didn’t think there was a remote chance that I would be able to finish it, much less write a blog post about it, in time for my […]
Build: Golden Rose (in Gold!)
So… it seemed an appropriate time to build this model last week. Because I built it to give to my wife. It was going to be a surprise Valentine’s gift, but then one of my kids came over and saw me working (most of the time my wife doesn’t end up over in the corner […]
New Curio Cabinet Display (Project)
Life gets busy sometimes. And that means that sometimes you don’t get to build models. I’m usually blessed with a surplus of free time, so I get to build frequently (or build / blog these days). But these past few weeks have been light on free-time. I’ve had a number of household projects sneak up […]
Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself
Okay, so this is, hopefully, going to be one of my briefer posts. But it’s something that I’ve talked about before, sprinkled in among all my various posts. But for some reason, I feel like dedicating a full post to it this week. I should also point out that I also thought about naming this […]
Mod: One World Trade Center Lit Up
I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. It’s not a perfect execution, but I’m still pleased. I’ve lit up buildings before, but this one seemed to need a little extra. Specifically, I decided that it would look great with some windows lit, and some dark. I wish that the windows at the top […]
Coming Soon: Two Fancy Vehicles From Piececool
Usually this time of year is quiet, but both Piececool and Fascinations are bucking trends. Today, it’s Piececool, which dropped these two rather ornate and detailed models. First up is The Wind Breaker, a ship that seems like it should sink with how much it is weighed down by insane amounts of… well, everything! Not […]
Build: Rarity and Pinkie Pie
Two more of the My Little Ponies have been finished and added to my collection: Rarity and Pinkie Pie. And before you ask… no, I’m not a Brony, but my kiddos love the show. And to be honest, the show isn’t half bad. Just wish they had a Discord model in this line, he was […]
