Finishing up the Piececool Checklist Update with the models from Piececool.world. I’m only adding models that are not already added from Piececool.com, even if they have a different name. I hope this is not too frustrating for users of the checklist, but I don’t want to end up with a lot of duplication. I have […]
Build: Universal Studios Globe
Okay, so I wanted to pose Chewie in the way I saw a lot of people posing with the giant globe at Universal Studios in Orlando. So many people acting like they were holding up the world. It doesn’t quite have the same effect, though, since Lego Chewie is roughly 3/4th the height of the […]
Catching Up: Piececool Models, Part 1
It’s time for a Piececool Checklist update, though this update does not bring the Piececool list completely up to date. I’ve updated for new models found in the P-Series, IP-Series, Q-Series and M-Series that are found on Piececool.com (Chinese website). But I haven’t had time to update with any of the models from the Piececool.world […]
Catching Up: Metal Earth Checklist
Well, I don’t know how many of you use this Metal Earth Checklist, or used to use this, but I let it get way, way behind. Both it, and it’s sibling checklist for Piececool. As it turns out, that’s not a good idea, because it takes a good bit of legwork to figure out what […]
Catching Up: Exclusives
I’m probably not going to be doing a lot of news posts (coming soon, etc) for a while, but I did want to do a few catch-up posts that will be a little light on details. This first one is focused on the Metal Earth Exclusives that have slipped through the cracks while I was […]
An Update From the Wookiee
It’s been a while. A long while. And it might be a while again before I post after this. I don’t know. But… I want to get back into building models. I really enjoy building models, and I enjoy sharing my experience with fellow enthusiasts. Unfortunately, I’ve been distracted for a while by what I […]
Review Build: Steampunk Mechanical Octopus
You may have noticed that this model is not like other models I’ve built for this blog. I’d say it’s a close relative, though. And, in some regards, I’m not sure if I should even call it a model, so much as a DIY art piece. An art piece built out of metal hardware, and […]
Build: Sleeping Beauty Castle (Paris)
I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this generosity, but a fellow builder friend was not only kind enough to help me acquire this model (that is exclusively available as Disneyland Paris), but he ended up just giving it to me. And this is not the first time he’s done something like this! Thank […]
Build: Javits Convention Center
Sometimes it’s nice to get a quick, simple build in. Especially if you’ve just finishing a meticulous build, right after a long break from building (don’t worry, that post is coming, I’m just doing this slightly out of order). And this retired model satisfies that requirement… for the most part. You probably won’t be that […]
Review Build: Drogon
This has been a long time coming… no, seriously, I knolled this model out several months ago. Is there some irony that I knolled it out in the fall, and actually built it in the winter? Anyways, dad humor aside, I always enjoy building dragons, even if they are from a TV show I’ve never […]
