Yes, I know that’s redundant, but International Space Station is a really long text to put in the post title! Anyways, the Metal Earth newsletter dropped this fine little gem today. Do note the “design not final” disclaimer at the bottom, but still… I’m excited! That thing has got to be an ICONX, right? And […]
Arthropod Display Feature
So, I like to find interesting ways to set up my models for creative photos from time to time. I’ve also made a few special shelves for displaying my models at work (where they are safer than at home with my energetic children). And the three shelves are getting pretty full. So I decided to […]
AnimateOrange’s Stuck-at-Home Giveaway
Man, I feel blessed. Blessed by this awesome community, and the friendships it has brought with it. I never would have guessed, while building Bumblebee – my very first model, that it would lead to me joining Instagram, befriending many other builders, including a YouTuber named AnimateOrange, and eventually creating my own blog (thanks in […]
#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 […]
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 […]
#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 […]
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 […]
Coming Soon: Confirmation and Surprise
Alright, just checked Metal Earth’s Coming Soon page to find two of the teased models, and one that flew under (or over?) the radar. Both Boba Fett and Deadpool full-figure models are now live on the website, and they snuck in another revamped Space Shuttle, this time it’s Atlantis (as opposed to the already released […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Goes Historical
Ending their Chinese New Years hiatus, Piececool added two new models to their website, both of seemingly historical significance, and both in the new IP-designated line of models that started with the Terminator Rev.9 model. One is called the Moire Copper Ban Bronze Jin with Cloud Design and the other is Chime Bells from 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, […]
