Happy Halloween everyone! I’m glad to be sharing the goofy little bit of fun you see above. I really enjoyed wasting time making that silly little candy bag. It also calls to mind what started me on the path that eventually led to me creating this blog. You see, this is an entry (that I […]
Build: Rose Photo Flame
I kid you not, “Rose Photo Flame” is the most common name that I have found for this model. I’m assuming it was supposed to be Rose Photo Frame, but… it is what it is. It’s also in a package that seems to be branded 3D Matal Model Kits (I spelled that exactly as shown […]
Build: Red Keep (Game of Thrones)
This is the part where I give the disclaimer that I have not actually watched Game of Thrones, and then defend my decision, but also explain that I’m not going to pass up an awesome model just because I haven’t seen the associated show. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, check out […]
Catching Up: Piececool Models, Part 2
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 […]
