My goodness is that a mouthful. Probably not if you are a Russian, but it definitely is for me. Of course, not only is it a mouthful, but it’s a handful (or two) as well. This thing is huge! It’s so big that it doesn’t even fit in my home-made photo box. At over 31 […]
#TT: Queen Anne’s Revenge and the Snitch
Time for another #ThrowbackThursday! This week, we’re going back to another double-model build post. This one features the ICONX Queen Anne’s Revenge, as well as the Harry Potter Snitch model. Bother rather wonderful models, though I kinda want to revisit that Snitch, it’s looking rather lopsided, and I am a bit of a perfectionist, after […]
Build: Quinton and Lagsse
It’s time for another trip to the Piececool Q-series line of Legend-esque models. Thanks to some helpful readers and comments on Reddit, I’ve learned that I should have done this in groups of three. Apparently the first two I built were two of the three main characters. But… consistency wins, and I’m going to keep […]
#TT: Legends Grootapalooza
So, this weeks #ThrowbackThursday post is going to be a little different. I felt like putting something fun and uplifting out there, to brighten up these moody times a little. So it seemed appropriate to pull together some photos from three old instagram posts that feature a tiny Groot and a giant Rocket Racoon. Explanations […]
Build: Pan Am China Clipper
As chosen by popular demand on my second Instagram “what should I build next?” post, I present this beautiful flying boat. I thought, for a while, that this model had been retired, but it appears that just the gift-box set version of it has been retired. But when I thought it was going to be […]
#TT: Spirit of St. Louis and Penny Farthing
Got a short #ThrowbackThursday post this week. Found myself running behind and didn’t have a lot of time to scroll through and find one with a decent level of “review” attributes. But I did find this one, and I really like both of the models here, especially that Penny Farthing – such a unique model. […]
Arthropod Display Feature
So, I like to find interesting ways to set up my models for creative photos from time to time. I’ve also made a few special shelves for displaying my models at work (where they are safer than at home with my energetic children). And the three shelves are getting pretty full. So I decided to […]
#TT: Disney Parks Trio
Man, I really was paranoid about spamming my Facebook timeline with these posts back in the day. For this one, I combined three builds into a single post, all exclusive models from Disney Parks. I also compared them to other models in a followup post, from which I’ve included some pictures. Also, going back to […]
Review Build: Resistance A-Wing Fighter
Thank you, Metal Earth, for finally making an A-Wing Fighter (and also for sending one to me to review!). It may not be a true classic-trilogy A-Wing, much like the Y-Wing, but at least we now have the main-three models represented in some form. And boy was it worth it. The detailing in this model […]
#TT: Willys MB Jeep
Heading into the rough territory of retired models, I’m taking the #ThrowbackThursday this week to the Willys MB Jeep, which has been retired in favor of the new Willys Overland. Though, from what it looks like, the only real difference between the two models is that the MB Jeep has a mounted gun and the […]
