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 […]
Build: D-O
One of my favorite things about the architects of the Star Wars universe is how amazingly expressive they manage to make the droids, even though they limit them to very static sets of movements. And they manage to make some straight up adorable. But creating a droid that adorable and suffering from trauma and PTSD? […]
Narrated Build: Beach Buggy
So, this is a combination post, really. I did a narrated build video, thinking that this was likely to be a good candidate for a “beginner build.” Turns out I was wrong, due to a single step, but we’ll put a pin on that. Because I decided to also have a little fun putting together […]
Review Build: Salt Lake Temple
Before I even started this model, I’d been warned to be prepared for a lather-rinse-repeat experience. Several other builders had done it and said so. None of them said that as a bad thing, just as a warning to be prepared. And they were right. There’s a lot of the same, but look at it! […]
Build: Venator-Class Star Destroyer
Not too long ago, I received a gift from the magnanimous Brad of AnimateOrange. He decided he wanted to reward me for helping out with the giveaways that he did this summer. And even though I told him that he didn’t have to, he went ahead and sent me this Venator-Class Star Destroyer. We’d been […]
Build: Starscream and Soundwave
Rocking two more of the Legends Transformers this week. I don’t care what the haters say, I like the quirky Legends line, and these Transformers definitely up the game on complexity for the line. Starscream is rocking some big guns and wings, while Soundwave is kicking it with a giant cannon on one shoulder and… […]
