Okay, so not everything in my life revolves around plastic model kits and Pontiacs. I know, that this is hard to believe, but it’s true. (It doesn’t help that I have plastic models OF Pontiacs, mind you…)
There are other things in life that I find just as interesting, and although not all of them are suitable for posting on the internet (keep your minds out of the gutter… I’m talking about things like Mesoamerican astronomy, evolutionary biology and so forth), some are. That’s what this page is for; a place for me to post things that I find cool and interesting, but that don’t fit into the rest of The Sprue Lagoon’s categories. Here you’ll find pictures of some stuff that I’ve come across and acquired that is just cool.
You’ll see all kids of things, from giant robot toys and rare or interesting Transformers, to intersting military toys and Lord knows what else. Make no mistake, this isn’t going to be an exhaustive resource for this kind of thing, but I hope to make it a place where you get to see some stuff you might not otherwise see on your average troll around the internet.
