I’ve done and gotten behind again on bringing you the news, but I have a special surprise that I found just today… two new Universal Studios exclusives. I have got to get my hands on that E.T. model! The other exclusive is the Studio Tour Tram, which I’m not as excited about, but it does […]
Review Build: Phoenix Coronet
Are you a perfectionist in need of a model to thrash the habit out of you? Well then, have I got just the model for you! This model will convince you of two things: (1) perfect is just not possible, and (2) models can still look gorgeous (and slightly gaudy, if you’re honest), even when […]
Build: 1965 Ford Mustang (Red)
This is a great model to see the way that Metal Earth, as a brand, has evolved. While they could have simply slapped a coat of paint on the old design, they didn’t. They could have also just slapped a couple new details on, which is what I thought was the case when I first […]
Coming Soon: Piececool’s On Fire
No, you are not seeing double, triple, sextuple, or octodecuple. Or any variant of all that. Piececool has loaded twelve new models to their website – two new groups of six. That makes three groups of six, two of which are variants of lucky lions, and the third seems to be lucky cranes. I guess […]
Build: Enfys Nest’s Swoop Bike
First of all, apologies for the liberties I’ve taken with the header image for this post. I don’t usually like editing the photos, but I just had too much fun with posing Chewie, but it wasn’t as clear what I was going for without adding in the blur effects and background. This is a model […]
Unlocking Soon: Two Harry Potter Models
Okay, so I’m being a little silly, but it’s late and I’m tired, so I get the privilege of being goofy. And I’m thinking of “unlocking” in terms of achievements, or bonus content in games and whatnot, where something is given as a reward. But in this case, it’s not a reward for an achievement, […]
Coming Soon: Pisa and Mini Lions
After what seems like a long quiet period, Piececool has added 2 or 7 new models, depending on how you count it. The first on is the Torre di Pisa. Yes, that’s the “English” name of it. Don’t ask me. The other 1 (or 6) model(s) is/are the Mini Lion Dance model(s), basically miniature versions […]
Build: Jaws Hanging Shark
During my recent splurge-trip to Universal Studios Orlando, I used the excuse of a souvenir budget to pick up the rest of the available exclusives they had there. And this, the Jaws Hanging Shark, is the first one that I chose to build. Or more specifically, my wife chose, because I asked her to pick. […]
Exclusive: Haunted Mansion (Now in Color!)
Thanks to the tip from frequent commenter Jeff, I can share with you this new Disney Parks Exclusive that I, personally, had not yet seen. I did a comparison between the sheet layouts of the classic silver version, compared to the layout shown on the back of the package, and it looks practically identical. This […]
Sneak Peek: Jet Ski [Finally] Revealed
![Sneak Peek: Jet Ski [Finally] Revealed](https://metalearthbuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/image-18.png)
Life has been busy, and once again, I am running late on the news. Seems like I need a little bit more of the summer that Metal Earth was talking about in their latest Newsletter, where they revealed this gorgeous Jet Ski Ultra 310LX model. Once again, it’s just a sneak peek, so we get […]
