First of all, apologies for the liberties I’ve taken with the header image for this post. I don’t usually like editing the photos, but I just had too much fun with posing Chewie, but it wasn’t as clear what I was going for without adding in the blur effects and background. This is a model […]
Build: Tenyo AT-ACT, Color Mod
Well, I was finally able to get it for a good price. I don’t often get Tenyo models, because the price + shipping from Japan makes them rather expensive (I still want to get the Buzz Lightyear model someday). But I came across this model for not a terrible price, and since it’s both Star […]
This Is Long Overdue…
I mean, really, I should have done this a long time ago, right? I decided to build my latest Threepio build in an out-of-order sort of way, constructing all the extremities and torso sections without connecting them all, just so I could take a photo of Threepio in a pile of parts. Then, when sharing […]
Build: Millennium Falcon (Exclusive / Mod)
So, when I started out this build, it was not my intent to mod it at all. I just wanted to enjoy myself with a nice, casual Star Wars build. And it’s a classic, with color: the Disney Parks exclusive version of Han’s Millennium Falcon, with a full paint job. When this showed up, I […]
Sneak Peeks at Mandalorian and Mars Models
Well, I missed getting to make a post about the Perseverance Rover (and Ingenuity Helicopter!) on Friday due to life getting busy-busy-busy, but it turned out to be a good thing. Because now I get to bring you two news items at once, what with Innovatoys getting the scoop on the Mandalorian models, and dropping […]
Build: K-2SO (Piececool)
Oh. My. Word. The matte finish really, really works on this model. Also, this model is awesome! And solid, thanks to all the cylinders. It’s great to have a giant version of my second favorite droid, and it looks great! I think the larger size of this model makes it a lot easier to get […]
Build: D-O
One of my favorite things about the architects of the Star Wars universe is how amazingly expressive they manage to make the droids, even though they limit them to very static sets of movements. And they manage to make some straight up adorable. But creating a droid that adorable and suffering from trauma and PTSD? […]
More About those Droids
Piececool finally dropped some more information, and more photos, on the Star Wars droid models. They are scheduled for release on the 13th of August, so I would expect to see them showing up on AliExpress and other online stores shortly after that. But the part I was most interested in was the additional photos, […]
Mod: Buried AT-AT on Hoth
Sometimes, you can make the best of a bad situation if you just change your perspective a little. Like this mod, which was conceptually born as I went through and assessed the damages from a shelf full of Metal Earth models collapsing onto another shelf full of models, which subsequently fell down. I was able […]
Vader, Warhawk and Dragon Lady Coming Soon!
I’m sure I’m not the only one glad to see that Vader has finally made his debut on the Coming Soon page! And wow, does he look good. I especially like the way the cloak (not cape) is shaped to account for his forward leg/knee. And of course, the iconic hand position, which I think […]
