Lego Porsche 911 - 80%



Fun set but several cons... 
- Way to many stickers!
- White stickers don't match the color of the pieces
- Very few functions for a Technic set... engine spins and the steering wheel turns.. 
- Wheels are not unique
- Several misprints on the instructions
- Difficult to see any of the engine

Compared to other Lego sets this seems lacking.. But all that said I don't regret buying. 

I do like the shape of it.. and the overall color scheme is good. 






Lego TRex 31058 - 95%


Great set. 
The arms look a little funny but probably the best that can be done on this scale for a TRex. 
Highly recommend, especially for $12.99

Lego Dragon 31073 - 100%



Fantastic little set! I want to buy two of them so I can have the spider put together too!
Great proportions and colors
The head looks great

Highly recommend the set, especially for 12.99

Spider Man Verse - 88%



Over hyped.

My four year old daughter:
- Dad, why are they tying him up?
- Because he is too young and he doesn't know how to use his powers...
1 minute later
- Dad, why is he able to do all that stuff now and he knows how to use all his powers so fast...
- Because it is T.V.  and people these days expect just to know or whatever just for showing up and believing in themselves... they think they don't have to work to earn anything...

A bit slow in the beginning.. Pretty goofy. Didn't live up to the hype for me.

Umbrella Academy - 94%


Solid, predictable, fun.
#5 was a great character. 
Cha-Cha and Hazel were fantastic. 
Binged it over a few days... 

Definitely worth watching.

Origami German Shepherd MOC



This is an adaptation of Montroll's dog base with some color changes.
  - Started with diagrams for the Husky from Origami Sculptures.
  - Flipped the wasted triangles between the legs to make the color change on the side.
  - Wrapped the head and tail for the color change
  - Reshaped the tail and spread to get the color change
  - Reshaped the head and spread to get the color change for the snout
  - Black side was the "color" side

Made the paper with brown on one side and black on the other.
Tissue paper glued to aluminum foil.
