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 […]
Review Build: Zorii’s Y-Wing Fighter
Long asked for, and finally here, I had the joy of building this amazingly detailed and complex Y-Wing. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait! I have not been building these models as long as many of you, so I haven’t been waiting as long as some, but I definitely am glad […]
Review Build: ICONX Imperial Star Destroyer
Does this model really need an introduction? I mean, come on, it’s so iconic! And now it’s finally ICONX, too! Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry! I’m a dad, what do you expect? Dad jokes come with the package. Anyways, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to build this model, and amazingly enough, Fascinations sent me one […]
Review Build: …And Trailer
Concluding the build of the ICONX Western Star 4900 Log Truck and Trailer, I present to you… the Trailer (and logs)! Now, you can build this puppy without the Trailer, from the Metal Earth classic-scale line, but the Trailer really completes the picture, so I suggest you go for the ICONX version. And you don’t […]
Review Build: Log Truck…
It’s been a while since I built an ICONX, so I thought it was about time. And so I’ve started on the ICONX Western Star 4900 Log Truck and Trailer, another model that Fascinations has been kind enough to send me to review. This model has been quite a detailed and intricate build, taking roughly […]
