Whether you like Donald Duck comic or not, this scale model of Scrooge McDuck’s money bin is brilliant.
I used to look at detailed craftsmanship and model work like this with some degree of jealously, as I have never had the patience or skill to do similar work. I’ve moved beyond that now, since even the worse modeling job I do is an enjoyable distraction (especially when I’m working with my sons to do it). I am also grateful that a significant number of companies have begun to sell pre-painted and pre-detailed models already built (some with lights and sound) that beat anything I could ever craft myself.
Which is why when I saw this Ultimate Star Wars Millennium Falcon toy/playset that my ol’ pal DDD at Hasbro toys had gotten designed and released… well, it made me all smiley-happy.
2 1/2 feet long. Accurately scaled to the 3 3/4″ action figures. With lights and sound effects. Oh yes. It will be mine.
Already clearing the shelf space for it. Heck, I may have to buy a new, wider shelf FOR it….
Sure beats the original toy up and leaves it wimpering on the side of the road…
