Rah doe kankee kung (aka my kind of scum)

A simple formula for winter success…

Gravy Master was key here as this amazing snow sculpture actually smells like what I’d imagine Jabba the Hutt would smell like – fatty old gravy.  Unfortunately, this seems to be Tom Brady’s (my dog) favorite flavor of snow cone.

Next up, either a Rancor, R2-D2, or the Sandworm from Dune.

Lego + Star Wars = Christmas Perfection

For the 3rd year running i’ve gotten Star Wars Legos sets as Christmas presents from my awesome girlfriend.   This year I got two of my favorities (tough competition with the Sandcrawler) the Tantive IV and Slave I.  Han Solo frozen in carbonite is one of the best minifigs I’ve got and I now have 3 sets of R2-D2 and C-3PO.

The Tantive IV was the larger set, but the Slave I is top notch in terms of details and actionable components (e.g., firing missiles, dropable depth charges, etc.), plus the Boba Fett character is key with jetpack + cape.

Don’t think i’ve posted this on my blog yet.  It’s a work in progress but you’ll get the idea.  Still need a way to crystallize the inside to make it look like an ice cave.  Ideas?
