Yeah, I built two of them! What you see here is the classic silver AT-AT model, and the Disney Parks Exclusive colored version. And while this is the first time I’ve built the colored one, the silver is a replacement for a model that got heavily damaged a while back when I had the unfortunate […]
Build: Targaryen Sigil (Color)
So, crazy thing happened recently. I think it was the day after I posted about building the silver Targaryen Sigil. Another builder posted about finding the Barnes & Noble exclusive Game of Thrones pack with the colored version for sale at 50% off on their website. So I checked it out, and found that the […]
I Built a Lightsaber From Spare Parts!
It’s really small, and it’s not perfect, but it was fun! I had this idea a while back that I could probably make a miniature lightsaber with spare parts left over from my builds. I started keeping them after seeing other builders use their spare parts to create unique builds or modifications to builds, and […]
Coming Soon: Hogwarts Castle and Stormbreaker
Hogwarts Castle and Stormbreaker dropping into Coming Soon on the same day? I knew I sensed a disturbance in the Metal Model Hobby, as if hundreds of individuals were greatly pleased. Oh, and they’ve added the Osprey that was teased in the Newsletter. Which is still cool, don’t get me wrong. It’s just in the […]
Coming Soon: Piececool’s Moon Palace
So it is again that we see a new model trickling into existance over on Piececool’s website. We have only a few images for this Moon Palace model, and they all seem to be derived from the same photograph. Surprisingly, the photo of the product box is rather high-res, so I was able to extract […]
Review Build: Targaryen Sigil
This might shock some of you, but I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, nor do I plan to. It seems ironic, given my appreciation of dragons and fantasy and whatnot. But I have my reasons. That doesn’t mean that I can’t build models based on the show, though! And I got to do exactly that, […]
Review Build: Model T Runabout
With a great big thank you to Fascinations for sending me this model to review, I’m happy to present to you the 1925 Ford Model T Runabout! This new line of classic Ford models really shine with the colors, adding contrast and detail. I know some of you like the classic silver, but I don’t […]
Build: Middle Earth Marathon
You know what? I have some awesome friends. They are each awesome in their own merit, and in their own ways. But sometimes they take it over the top. One such instance lead to this post. A very cool, very awesome friend (you know who you are) sent me the full set of Lord of […]
New Jeep and Updated Shuttle Photos
Well, I guess I should have waited one more day to make that post about some new models coming. Metal Earth has added a new variation of the Willys jeep to the coming soon. This ICONX model is titled Willys Overland, and appears very similar to the Willys MB Jeep. At the same time, some […]
More Models On The Way
Bridging the gap (or ocean, in this case) I’m going to drop a quick post here about 3 new models. That includes one new model being teased in the Metal Earth Newsletter for December, and two variations of the same model that have trickled onto the Piececool website. Thus we have the V-22 Osprey and […]
