Boy and I use to go to Barnes and Nobel a lot. And then they left. We never had mom & pop book stores and now no decent chains, either. Oh, Amazon, why must we love/hate you? But then one day, driving in the next county over, we found one and popped in for old time’s sake. It felt so good to be surrounded by books. We left with a couple items, including this Metal Earth Ferris Wheel. Boy built most of it, while I cut most of it out. The pieces are teensy tiny!

I enjoyed the process, and while I didn’t intentionally search for another Metal Earth kit, I stumbled across one on clearance one day. Being that it was Star Trek related, I couldn’t help myself. This time, I bought a flush cutter which was so much nicer than using an exacto knife!!
