The Vulgar Eclectic

  • Robots, dinosaurs, and monsters!

    A few months ago, my daughter and I set up a bit of a diorama using old figurines I had as a child and that I have since given to her. I recently added a few robots to the mix (the orange guy atop the stone is one of the new ones). I would have…

  • The Spoken Word

    For awhile I’ve been enjoying listening to old Transformers books-on-tape while lying down. I recently decided to look at a list of titles with publication dates, so that I could try listening to them in order (not that it really matters much…they’re stand-alone stories with little to no continuity between books). Anyway, I’m really having…

  • Jungle Adventure

    I put together a little terrarium-like thing several weeks ago. It’s made in an old plastic cage that my daughter and I had used for roly-polies in the past. First, I laid down a layer of gravel. On top of that I added some potting soil, making a small area slightly higher than the rest…

  • RX-78-2 Gundam

    I realized yesterday that I have not included a post about this mecha model I put together awhile ago. I assembled it a little after my daughter and I put the Z’Gok together. This mecha is very gracile in comparison with the previously assembled Z’Gok and the Gogg we put together a couple days ago.…

  • MSM-03 Gogg

All the fingers have individual ball joints and are quite delicate to assemble. The hands end up being very poseable. I think this is a…

  • New mecha project!

  • Robotech Defenders

    I received both issues in the Robotech Defenders miniseries in the mail today. I just finished reading the first one and it was fantastic! I haven’t been carried away by a comic for quite a while, and it was so much fun. The various settings briefly glimpsed were exciting, and I really enjoyed the team…

  •  MSM-07S Z’Gok

    I finished putting together this mobile suit mecha model that my daughter and I have been working on. It was lots of fun! It’s articulated and easy to pose. It comes with a couple of stickers we haven’t put on yet. It could use a bit of sanding and it would be neat to add…
