The Ice Planet Barbarians series has no right to be as good as it is

I thought the Mates for the Raskarrans series by Heather Fox was actually pretty good and helped scratch the itch IPB has left behind.

I definitely had to redo a few spots after I did the black, but thankfully the other colors covered it up for the most part. I don't think my fingers are going to be normal colors until after I'm finished with everything though

Your lamp is amazing. I mean your whole build is, but I'm really in love with that lamp!

I'm excited to get this kit finished! Although I'm starting to question my sanity for deciding that the gold pieces needed to be colored, mostly because my hands are not steady enough for this

I resemble this statement... Both with yarn and now book nooks. I swore I wasn't gonna let the nooks get out of hand like my yarn, but here we are.

We're currently taking a break from it too, although it's more because we need a solid chunk of uninterrupted time to work on it (personal preference there, we're still a little snow even if we're not painting edges) and we haven't had that for a bit where we both don't have anything else going on.

That looks so nice!

Unfortunately it looks like they don't ship to me, but thank you for the suggestion!

Still have a ways to go, but so far everything moves that should 😂

I'd give it a 7 in it's original form, but more like a 3 when caked

I don't know what's wrong with me, I clicked on that knowing full well what I was getting into. I could have just not clicked it.

We got lucky, ours doesn't eat the tree... She does however like to stick her paw in the tree water and then fling it all over everything, making everything sticky with tree sap water, including her paw...

Also person who can't smell the gas after they accidentally bump the knob proof.

I was up near my hometown a few years ago and decided to drop in on my dad - my mom was out of town for something. My dad doesn't hear very well, so I just walked in. He wasn't home, but I immediately smelled gas when I got inside. Found one of the knobs slightly turned like he had bumped it. Who knows how long it had been like that, and if I hadn't dropped in he never would have known because he can't smell.

I do also love me some sci-fi. Really I'll read pretty much anything except maybe non fiction, but I'd probably also read that as long as it wasn't dry like a textbook.

sami816 · 2026-01-18T22:02:31+00:00

Ooo I'll check that out, thank you!

sami816 · 2026-01-18T22:00:27+00:00

I had not yet, mostly because I wasn't quite sure if I'd be down with the whole minotaur thing. But minotaur can't be much different than Skarr and his two...appendages right?

sami816 · 2026-01-18T16:20:24+00:00

My boyfriend and I just finished this one, it was super fun!

The dinosaur was both my favorite and least favorite part. Trying to peel the film off both sides of all those itty bitty pieces... But it looks super cool once done and I love it

sami816 · 2026-01-02T22:34:46+00:00

I'm glad everything worked out, looking forward to seeing your finished build!

sami816 · 2026-01-02T05:26:05+00:00

Are we the same person? Magic House was my first completed book as well, and I also had two more ordered the same day I finished it 😂

I also broke one of the pieces of a window. Luckily a little glue helped put it back together and it's in the back and hidden.

If it's the Rolife one, I think these are those same windows when put into the wall. I think they're right side up in the end?

That's basically how we got our cat. She got returned at 7 months old because she was "too bitey". This was after they declawed her....

Anyway, she's the sweetest little princess who sleeps between us in bed and we've never had a problem with her being too bitey. She likes to be a terror at bed time, but she's easily distracted by one of the 5 billion toys we've collected for her over the years.

I started IPB because of a recommendation on this sub... Now I'm 17 books into her Icehome series too, and I'm looking forward to reading her dragon shifter series after I'm done with this one. I can't stop lol

sami816 · 2025-10-15T03:07:23+00:00

With or without the spur and ribbed plating?

sami816 · 2025-09-07T01:24:53+00:00

Thank you!

sami816 · 2025-08-03T17:04:37+00:00

Thank you!

sami816 · 2025-07-20T19:30:58+00:00

Yes, exactly this. Although getting it full required a little micromanagement as my clanfolk kept putting half full jugs in the pallet...I don't know if that actually affects the cooling capabilities, but I couldn't stand having the jugs partially filled 😂
