This has been a long time coming… no, seriously, I knolled this model out several months ago. Is there some irony that I knolled it out in the fall, and actually built it in the winter? Anyways, dad humor aside, I always enjoy building dragons, even if they are from a TV show I’ve never […]
Build: Gringott’s & Dragon
The ampersand makes all the difference. This model is exclusively available at Universal Studios, and I was lucky enough to have a fellow builder help me out with acquiring one without paying the eBay scalping prices. And I’m loving it. Not just because it’s a dragon (DRAGONS!!!), but also because of the wonky-wacky architecture of […]
Build: Black Dragon
As promised, here is the reveal of the completed Black Dragon, by Piececool. I decided to continue my tradition of building a big dragon for my total build counts ending in 50. This here is my 350th build, which seems to have crunched up way too close to my 300th Metal Earth build. Guess I […]
Black Dragon, In Steps
So, life has thrown a curve ball at me. A little over a month ago, I did something (don’t really know what) that strained a muscle in my neck/shoulder. And, after about a month of just hoping it would work itself out, but then having it consistently re-tweaking itself, I went to the doctor. He […]
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 […]
Build: Targaryen Sigil (Color)
So, crazy thing happened recently. I think it was the day after I posted about building the silver Targaryen Sigil. Another builder posted about finding the Barnes & Noble exclusive Game of Thrones pack with the colored version for sale at 50% off on their website. So I checked it out, and found that the […]
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, […]
A Collection of Random News
Got a few little tidbits for you today, some slightly aged, some new. Been a busy week for me (in my real job) and I kept forgetting to write up some posts about this stuff, so here it is, all in one post. First up, a new Universal Studios exclusive model has shown up on […]
Build: Blue Dragon
It’s poetic that the first build I post on my new blog is the 250th Metal Earth model that I’ve built. And, having built the Silver Dragon for the 150th build, I thought it only appropriate to follow suit and go for a Dragon again. And boy is this one a beauty. Of course, I’m […]
Coming Soon: 2 New Piececool Models
Piececool added 2 new models to their website, breaking the silence for the first time in a while. These are both listed as releasing around 5/25/2019. First up is the brand new Black Dragon King, which looks pretty amazing to me. According to the rough translation from Google, it looks like this beast of a […]
