Is there a Plastic/Diecast Model Blog?

So Oppo's is this amazing place I enjoy visiting, but I noticed that some of the sub-blogs, like " !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ", are sort of hidden and I would of never have found it unless someone pointed it out. So I was wondering, does anyone know of a sub-blog for building models; ones of any shape, size, or material?

If there isn't one, would anyone like there to be one? I figure I can't be the only one who enjoys building models of cars, planes, military, mecha, etc. We could share tips, tricks, reviews, favorite models, one's we'd like to have etc. Similar to HWEP, but meant for model kits (I love HWEP btw).

And the image for the post is of my own model. I painted it yellow to look like Bumblebee from Gen 1 Transformers because, well, why not?

Wouldn't it make more sense to make hwep a general scale model blog instead of having two separate blogs for essentially same hobby?

Just my two cents.

You know what, I can ask. But I was thinking of models beyond cars, like planes or giant robots. I know that HWEP was made for the sole purpose of diecast items, mostly cars, but pre-built. I may of been the only one who reviewed diecast models (though I may be wrong). There are similarities, but also differences. I will ask them though.

Thanks for the idea!

Either way I'd be interested. It's been a while since I did a proper kit (I've been customizing Tranformers for the last four years), but I've been building mostly jets for twenty years.

Well that's three people interested in it. I was hoping for a bit more...plus, I'm thinking of a generic hobby blog.
