  • "They call him Baba Yaga, and he is the one you sent to kill the **** boogeyman!"
    John Wick is one of the greatest action films of the last decade, and maybe ever (in my humble opinion). So I couldn't think of a better way to show my appreciation than to make a scratch built diorama from my favourite scene in the entire movie.
