Take a fantastic game, a game that requires skill, intelligence and maturity – a game like Hungry Hungry Hippos – and challenge yourself to make it better. That’s exactly the challenge Donald Kennedy rose to. The toy maker dabbles in making iconic video game characters come to life as models. It’s a skill he has […]
A review of Firefly – A Celebration (Anniversary Edition)
This is a beautiful beast of a book. It’s huge. There are 544 pages, in colour, in a hardback that just oozes quality. Right now, Amazon is accepting pre-orders and the book is due out at the end of September in the UK and the beginning of October in the US. That timing is important […]
Badass scary Angler Fish lamp
Angler Fish are pretty interesting to begin with – they live in the deep sea and actually do use a lure, part of their body, that reaches up and out above their fierce mouths to attract smaller fish. Making an angler fish lamp out of scrap metal is taking a cool map idea and pushing […]

The beasts of Star Wars – cute and on your plate
These rather cute versions of some Star Wars beasts are from the talented folk at Third Half Studios. I see what they’ve done with their name. In theory you can even buy these plates over at their Etsy store but I’ve had a rummage around and can’t find them. A sell out? Likely. Are these […]
