Well, I’m just a rebel. Not only did I decide to do a “wash” to increase the contrast on the lines on just part of this model, I decided to form the hair tufts completely different! I saw the graphic on the back of the package and really liked the way they looked there, so […]
Build: Killen and Banas
I am finally finishing up the Piececool Q-Series models of the Three Kingdoms characters. And I’m guessing that it will also just be finishing up the Q-Series in general, because it doesn’t seem like that line is destined to receive any additions in the future. But boy-howdy did I save the best for last. I […]
Build: Millennium Falcon (Exclusive / Mod)
So, when I started out this build, it was not my intent to mod it at all. I just wanted to enjoy myself with a nice, casual Star Wars build. And it’s a classic, with color: the Disney Parks exclusive version of Han’s Millennium Falcon, with a full paint job. When this showed up, I […]
Review Build: Hogwarts Express (ICONX)
Wow. I’ve had this model for some time now, sent to me by Fascinations to review, and just now got to it. And it’s gorgeous, and big, and shiny. I regret waiting so long to build it, but at the time I got it, I had also just gotten the Books-A-Million Hogwarts Express exclusive. I […]
Piececool Brings Marvel and Ancient
Well, you had to know it was coming. Three more Marvel models have just been dropped on the Piececool website. Along with a couple of additions to the Datang Small Street line, which looks to be gaining at least 5 more sets (including these two). But I know y’all are more excited about the Marvel […]
Guest Build: Golden Snitch
CodeWookiee here, and I’d like to introduce you to PrincessPorgie, my wonderful daughter! As a daddy-daughter activity, we thought it would be fun to build a model together, and have her create her very own blog post about it. I picked out the Golden Snitch because she loves Harry Potter. We worked together on the […]
Sneak Peeks at Mandalorian and Mars Models
Well, I missed getting to make a post about the Perseverance Rover (and Ingenuity Helicopter!) on Friday due to life getting busy-busy-busy, but it turned out to be a good thing. Because now I get to bring you two news items at once, what with Innovatoys getting the scoop on the Mandalorian models, and dropping […]
Build: B-1B Lancer
This one turned out quite a bit bigger than I was expecting. I mean, it’s not huge, but it’s not small either. And it is definitely a unique looking build, as far as the planes I’ve built. It’s long, narrow, sleek, and almost has a haughtiness to it. And those jet engines… those look pretty […]
Build: K-2SO (Piececool)
Oh. My. Word. The matte finish really, really works on this model. Also, this model is awesome! And solid, thanks to all the cylinders. It’s great to have a giant version of my second favorite droid, and it looks great! I think the larger size of this model makes it a lot easier to get […]
News Roundup!
So… guess who’s been a bit busy with life?!? Yeah, that would be me. Sorry I’ve fallen behind and missed posting about these three models, so you probably have already heard about them. Such is life when life gets in the way of life. What we have here is a teaser of the S-64 Skycrane […]
