Finally finished the model I got for Christmas! The original kit is a detective agency that's very clearly supposed to be Sherlock Holmes-themed, but I changed some things and made some pieces from scratch to make it Sam Spade's office instead. My own creations don't look quite as polished as the pieces that came with the kit, but I'm still pretty pleased with the end result.

Just finished watching the 6-part mini-series, Monsieur Spade. As a massive fan of Dashiell Hammett's work, I went in feeling pretty sceptical. But it won me over fairly quickly and in the end I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth a watch.

Trigger warnings for violence and a scene of implied sexual assault though.

The first episode of Monsieur Spade slowly drew me in. Clive Owens' American accent was a bit of a stumbling block. But the end of the episode was fucking metal. Well done AMC. #samspade
