As promised, here is the reveal of the completed Black Dragon, by Piececool. I decided to continue my tradition of building a big dragon for my total build counts ending in 50. This here is my 350th build, which seems to have crunched up way too close to my 300th Metal Earth build. Guess I […]
Black Dragon, In Steps
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 […]
