So, life has thrown a curve ball at me. A little over a month ago, I did something (don’t really know what) that strained a muscle in my neck/shoulder. And, after about a month of just hoping it would work itself out, but then having it consistently re-tweaking itself, I went to the doctor. He […]
Build: Liberty Bell
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Build: Yeung and Howse
Also known as Zhao Zilong and Huang Zhong, respectively, these are the 5th and 6th models in the Piececool Q-Series. For clarification, Yeung is the one with the spear, Howse is the one with the bow and arrow. As you can probably guess, this is the third pair of Q-Series models that I’ve built. If […]
Build: Sweet Arlene (P-51D Mustang)
The problem with having a big backlog of models is that some things stay in there longer than you want them to. The Sweet Arlene is definitely one of those models. Of course, I also feel like I’m always saying that the model I’m building is one that’s been waiting to be built for a […]
#TT: Piececool Tank (M1-A2 Sep Tusk II)
Doing a somewhat more recent build this week for #ThrowbackThursday, I decided to revisit this tank from Piececool, which has an absolutely awful name to try to ever remember (M1-A2 Sep Tusk II? Why not throw in a greek letter?). But it’s a beautiful build. It is a somewhat large build, but not as huge […]
Review Build: DeLorean
Oh wow. I’ve had this model for a while now, sent to me by Fascinations to build and review (thank you!). And while I have built well over 300 models, there are times that I’m still intimidated by some of them. This was one, but I am glad I decided to finally build it. I’ve […]
Narrated Build: Space Shuttle
So… things are going to be a little different this week. Because I decided to try something different, and then life went crazy, and I’m way behind on my other build posts, and I can push this one to the top of the queue and finish it much more quickly than my other builds. Because […]
