Repaints and a Big Score

Afterwards, all the old models were added to the new ones to create one big scene, seen in the previous post. While setting up, it was determined that some of the older models were in need of some attention.

One Big Monsterous Scene

I completed The Animal Pit. All of the models have been brought together to form one large scene. The paint job on the big zap generator and the pain parlor control panel have been overhauled from the light blue that was used originally to a more aesthetically pleasing aluminum.

Monster Scenes - The Dungeon

I've been meaning to build The Dungeon and The Animal Pit for while now. During the Thanksgiving break I found the time to build them both. I will post pictures of The Animal Pit later, but for this post I wanted to show off the completed Dungeon...

Was there a better feeling than when mom took you into the toy store at the mall? No matter the season, it was suddenly Christmas. After all, you earned it after watching her try on dresses at Casual Corner for an hour. These days, toy stores at the mall are about as rare as record stores at the mall. Major chains have gone extinct as beloved mascots like Peter Panda and Kaycee Kangaroo have joined the dinosaurs. Let's take a look at some of the defunct toy retailers of yesteryear. Where was your favorite place to shop for action figures, dolls and board games? http://metv.com | By MeTV Staff |September 6, 2016

My Thoughts on Thirteenth Doctor Casting

So, the new Doctor has been cast. The role will go to Jodie Whittaker, a female. The internet, of course, has lost its mind.
