Read MoreI had never heard of Titoy’s Magical Chair before I saw this MOC by builder Messymaru, but I love it. It’s about a boy with no legs who’s not going to let such a silly thing, or the confinement to a wheelchair, dampen his spirits or limit his sense of adventure. I think we can all find a little inspiration in this.

Have I ever talked about being into archery on this blog? Not so much any more, I’ve since sold my bow, but I was into it several years ago.

Just look at all the lovely details, I’m smitten.
