I didn’t intend for this build to be timely. In fact, it wasn’t until I told my wife what I was building, and she said something about it, that I realized the connection. And, to be honest, it’s kinda hard to feel patriotic right now. Our country is hurting, our people are divided and full […]
Dragon Gate Models Coming to Piececool
Piececool is really cranking them out these days. Of course, that’s the benefit of being the same company that manufactures these models. No need to wait on import processing delays as a result of the Beer Flu. Anyways, it looks like they have three new models added to the page, and I know at least […]
Build: Three Banshees from Avatar
Well, I have taken to keeping track of my build counts, because people ask me how many I’ve built from time to time. And being me, I keep a count of how many of each brand. And I’ve been closing in on 300 for Metal Earth, so I thought I should do something special. I […]
Build: Color X-Wing (with bonus mod)
So, this may look a little different than you expect. First of all, it’s the color version of the model that is only sold in Disney Parks. And second, the S-foils are in closed position, which I’ve been meaning to do with an X-Wing model for some time. But… I did it a little different […]
PSA: Builder Collaboration Video Project
Stop! Collaborate on Building! Okay, yeah, that was terrible. But you’ve probably come to expect that sort of thing out of me, if you’ve been reading my blog for very long. But, if I got your attention… check out this cool project that AnimateOrange is putting together (and which I’ve already participated a little in). […]
Build: Deltoro and Pasley
Hope you are not tired of seeing these models, as these are my seventh and eighth, of a total of twelve. And I got all twelve. These two are also called Ma Chao and Zhou Yu, respectively. Deltoro / Ma Chao is the one with the staff, while Pasley / Zhou Yu wields the sword. […]
AnimateOrange’s Random Draw Giveaway #4
Man, I struggled with deciding on what to name this post. I mean, consistency or creativity? I like being consistent, cause… well, consistency! But at the same time, it not accurate, cause it’s not really a random draw this time. This is the last one, so it’s just the last 3 models. I almost titled […]
An Open Discussion About…
Last week, I was heartened to see Fascinations take a stand, despite the risks of fallout from doing so. They didn’t attack, they didn’t insult. They just took a stand for what was right. And I have taken stands myself, in my personal Facebook account, and with friends and family. But that was all private. […]
AnimateOrange’s Random Draw Giveaway #3
Yeah, so… sorry for not coming up with fun and playful names for my posts on this round of Brad’s giveaways. I don’t mind helping him out with this, in fact I see it as an honor to be able to be a part of such a kind act of good will. That being said, […]
Piececool Adds 3 Small Street Models
It looks to me like Piececool is rounding up the Datang Small Street series with these final three models. Or I could be wrong, and there are more to come. But I am glad to report that one of these latest three is the Datang Street Scene Set, which is comprised of the little people, […]
