I'm about halfway through it now. Really digging it so far.

Thanks! I'm sure experienced model builders would do a significantly better job, but for my first attempt, I'm super pleased with it.

I tried dry brushing for the first time, for crying out loud. Going way outside my comfort zone!

I even printed up a little rack to hold all the random Gundam markers and hobby tools that I've slowly accumulated over the past few years. Any excuse to organize crap.

Thank you for reminding me that I needed to order a physical copy of book 3 (I already picked up the audiobook).

Sail Barge was February 2018; Cookie Monster was July 2019.

I'm sure Hasbro (likely accurately) considered that there wasn't much crossover between the two interests, but I know that running the Cookie Monster Haslab at the same time as their Unicron Haslab caused at least one person to have to skip out on Cookie because he REALLY needed that Unicron.

They tried to crowdfund a _$500_ Reva lightsaber.

I believe the Haslab launched on the same day the first episode of Obi-Wan dropped. So people had the entire duration of the crowdfunding campaign to learn how terrible the show was.

This is (I believe) the sixth failed project:

1:1 Cookie Monster
Star Wars Black Series Rancor
Star Wars Force FX Reva Lightsaber
Marvel Legends Ghost Rider car
HeroScape game
TRON set

Got this guy a couple years ago. It's surprisingly decent!

Gah! I gotta get out and see this. I just watched that animated Predator movie the other day, and it got me all hyped up to see it.

It's OK... simple little turn-based strategy puzzle game. Not really my bag, but it's cute seeing the little voxel kaiju. Gets old kinda quick, too. For free, though, why not?

Oh, I did!

(... even though I already have it on Steam and Switch...)

SOMEONE doesn’t read alt text!

(Yes, I did. 😁)

Already taken care of.

I just made my first custom WWF No Mercy character in 25 years.
