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! […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Architecture
Wow, been a busy week of news! We’ve got some rather impressive architectural builds showing up on the Piececool website, strangely enough with a release date of two days ago (and before the Droid models date). These three models, the Ziwei Palace, Daming Palace, and Wind-Rain Bridge, are all rearing and ready to go. Along […]
Dragon Gate Models Coming to Piececool
Piececool is really cranking them out these days. Of course, that’s the benefit of being the same company that manufactures these models. No need to wait on import processing delays as a result of the Beer Flu. Anyways, it looks like they have three new models added to the page, and I know at least […]
Piececool Adds 3 Small Street Models
It looks to me like Piececool is rounding up the Datang Small Street series with these final three models. Or I could be wrong, and there are more to come. But I am glad to report that one of these latest three is the Datang Street Scene Set, which is comprised of the little people, […]
Piececool Adds to Datang Small Street
Late yesterday, Piececool added the Red Crabapple Theater to their website, with a release date of May 25th. I believe it is part of their Datang Small Street series, despite not being stated directly. It matches the style quite closely, and all three “Similar Products” on the product page are the other 3 models from […]
#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: 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, […]
#TT: Temple of Heaven
So, I’ve not done a Throwback Thursday post in a while, and I recently thought about the fact that I did a lot of compressed reviews (compressed to the 2000 character limit of Instagram captions) before I started the blog. And since this blog is supposed to be a resource for builders, it would be […]
Build: 30 Rockefeller Plaza
I just couldn’t help myself. This building just demanded that I go a little silly with the staging of the size-comparison photo with Lego Chewie. And then it demanded that I make it black and white. So… deal with it. I know that some people like to just do the challenging models. And I do […]
Piececool Adds Some Not-Transformers Models
Four new models have been added to Piececool’s website, marked with a pre-sale date of 10/28. Once again, the models have been bundled together, almost as if a set. Strangely, this set includes 3 mythical warriors in ancient-Chinese style armor that most definitely do not [they do] resemble Transformers characters. And the Southern Gate. You […]
