Many moons ago I was inspired by another builder using their scrap empty sheets as they created a structure or sorts with it. Something about seeing what they had done triggered a part of my brain that had previously thought it would be super-cool if Metal Earth made a Borg Cube model (layered, not just […]
#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 […]
#TT: Disney Castles
If you want some fairly challenging architecture builds, I present this week’s #ThrowbackThursday builds: Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty Castles. These are only available at Disney Parks, and are the classic silver version (new “Now in Color” versions have been released). I’ve also included a follow-up post with comparisons to the D23 ICONX-sized castle. And a […]
#TT: Big Ben and Pilot Droid Rex
Turning back the time for this #ThrowbackThursday just seems natural, given one of the models. I remember being quite pleased with Big Ben, but then later being confused about if I built it correctly, as some product photos I’ve seen show the clocks as being outset, rather than inset into the model. As for Pilot […]
#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 […]
#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 […]
#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. […]
#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 […]
#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 […]
#TT: Disney D23 Expo Exclusive Castle
For this week, on #ThrowbackThursday, I’ve decided to revisit a model I posted before I even did very much in the way of reviewing in my posts. Why? Because I love this model, and am quite sad that it’s next to impossible to find anymore. Maybe if some more interest were expressed in this model, […]
