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 […]
Review Build: Salt Lake Temple
Before I even started this model, I’d been warned to be prepared for a lather-rinse-repeat experience. Several other builders had done it and said so. None of them said that as a bad thing, just as a warning to be prepared. And they were right. There’s a lot of the same, but look at it! […]
Review Build: Duesenberg J
Wow. Just wow. I know I’ve said this before, but they just don’t design cars like they used to. There’s an elegance and class that has faded away over the years. I suppose a large part of that is just that cars aren’t as much of a luxury as they used to be. I’m no […]
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 […]
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 […]
Review Build: 1910 Ford Model T
So, I started building this beautiful 1910 Ford Model T, and my son walks over to check out what I’m doing. And he proceeds to ask why I’m building the same model again, when I had just built it the other day. I laughed, cause he wasn’t entirely wrong. But then teased him, saying that […]
Review Build: First Order Treadspeeder
So, this is one of those Star Wars vehicles that make you think… wait, where was that? But at least this time, unlike with the First Order Snowspeeder, it was actually in the movie. The treadspeeder is the vehicle that the storm troopers were riding in the chase scene once the team was spotted in […]
Review Build: 1908 Ford Model T (in green)
Once again, I am privileged to bring you another build courtesy of Fascinations, who kindly sent me this gorgeous colored version of the 1908 Ford Model T. I’ve built this one before, quite a while back, in silver, and it’s just as fun and frightful as I remember. And by that, I mean it’s one […]
Review Build: Targaryen Sigil
This might shock some of you, but I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, nor do I plan to. It seems ironic, given my appreciation of dragons and fantasy and whatnot. But I have my reasons. That doesn’t mean that I can’t build models based on the show, though! And I got to do exactly that, […]
Review Build: Model T Runabout
With a great big thank you to Fascinations for sending me this model to review, I’m happy to present to you the 1925 Ford Model T Runabout! This new line of classic Ford models really shine with the colors, adding contrast and detail. I know some of you like the classic silver, but I don’t […]
