So… it seemed an appropriate time to build this model last week. Because I built it to give to my wife. It was going to be a surprise Valentine’s gift, but then one of my kids came over and saw me working (most of the time my wife doesn’t end up over in the corner […]
Build: Rarity and Pinkie Pie
Two more of the My Little Ponies have been finished and added to my collection: Rarity and Pinkie Pie. And before you ask… no, I’m not a Brony, but my kiddos love the show. And to be honest, the show isn’t half bad. Just wish they had a Discord model in this line, he was […]
Review Build: B-24 Liberator
Big. This model is big. It’s technically not an ICONX / Premium Series model, but it might as well be. I don’t quite know how they managed to make something this big with only 3 classic-size Metal Earth sheets. It’s quite impressive. And it’s gorgeous, too. The camera did not do a great job of […]
Build: Classic TV Batmobile
Well, I’ve finally done it! I finally had the courage to build the last Metal Earth Batmobile, which is actually the first one. The windshield of this Batmobile, from the Adam West tv show, along with the complicated front-end, have intimidated me for some time. But I finally built it. And even though I did […]
Build: ICONX Parrot
Well, no need to mince words here, this model is gorgeous. I think I might even prefer it to the peacock. And, apologies to the purists, but this model and the peacock are justification alone for the printed-color models. Also, we need more models with feathers, cause they create a serious wow factor, right? I […]
Build: House Stark Sigil
Well, I’m just a rebel. Not only did I decide to do a “wash” to increase the contrast on the lines on just part of this model, I decided to form the hair tufts completely different! I saw the graphic on the back of the package and really liked the way they looked there, so […]
Build: Killen and Banas
I am finally finishing up the Piececool Q-Series models of the Three Kingdoms characters. And I’m guessing that it will also just be finishing up the Q-Series in general, because it doesn’t seem like that line is destined to receive any additions in the future. But boy-howdy did I save the best for last. I […]
Build: Millennium Falcon (Exclusive / Mod)
So, when I started out this build, it was not my intent to mod it at all. I just wanted to enjoy myself with a nice, casual Star Wars build. And it’s a classic, with color: the Disney Parks exclusive version of Han’s Millennium Falcon, with a full paint job. When this showed up, I […]
Review Build: Hogwarts Express (ICONX)
Wow. I’ve had this model for some time now, sent to me by Fascinations to review, and just now got to it. And it’s gorgeous, and big, and shiny. I regret waiting so long to build it, but at the time I got it, I had also just gotten the Books-A-Million Hogwarts Express exclusive. I […]
Guest Build: Golden Snitch
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 […]
