Somewhat-News? Catching Up…

Somewhat-News? Catching Up…

Once again, and unsurprisingly of late… I am late with the news. So, it’s “somewhat new” news. Right? Anyways, I’ll give you one guess as to which model I am most excited about in the models shown above. Hint: it’s the Sandcrawler. Dang, I think I just gave it away. Anyways, in this months edition […]

2022 Metal Earth Retailer Catalog

2022 Metal Earth Retailer Catalog

I went to post my earlier update today in the usual places (reddit and a facebook group) and found that someone had posted some pictures of a Fascinations / Metal Earth retailer catalog, with some unannounced models appearing in it (along with some announced, some already released, and some long released). And there are some […]

Build: Enfys Nest’s Swoop Bike

Build: Enfys Nest’s Swoop Bike

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

This Is Long Overdue…

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: K-2SO (Piececool)

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

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? […]
