This has been a long time coming… no, seriously, I knolled this model out several months ago. Is there some irony that I knolled it out in the fall, and actually built it in the winter? Anyways, dad humor aside, I always enjoy building dragons, even if they are from a TV show I’ve never […]
Build: Yoroi (Japanese Armor)
this intimidating Tenyo Metallic Nano model. I really like how it’s set up as an armor display, not an actual person wearing the armor, and yet looks kinda like a ghost is sitting on a box, wearing the armor. I also love the contrast and the vibrant colors. Wow it’s been a while. And by […]
How to Build a Borg Cube Model
Many moons ago I was inspired by another builder using their scrap empty sheets as they created a structure or sorts with it. Something about seeing what they had done triggered a part of my brain that had previously thought it would be super-cool if Metal Earth made a Borg Cube model (layered, not just […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Build: The Flintstones Car
The only Legends model that survived the demise of the Legends line, this one is practically a must-have. The decision to bundle the two characters together and throw in the car was brilliant, and could only have been made better if they had introduced a Dino model you could purchase and add on to the […]
Build: Fairy Castle
It is with thanks to a very generous member of the Metal Earth models facebook group that I get to present my very first Picture Kingdom build, the Fairy Castle. I happened to notice a post about an extra model, commented on it to help direct the member to the appropriate location for sales posts, […]
Build: Wild West Revolver
So, I know it’s not a sci-fi blaster or anything, but I just really, really want to start this review by saying “Pew-Pew-Pew! Pew-Pew! Pew!” Of course, I have to limit it to just those six pews, because reloading, and this isn’t a movie. Alright, silliness aside, my latest build here is the Wild West […]
