Before I even started this model, I’d been warned to be prepared for a lather-rinse-repeat experience. Several other builders had done it and said so. None of them said that as a bad thing, just as a warning to be prepared. And they were right. There’s a lot of the same, but look at it! […]
Build: Starscream and Soundwave
Rocking two more of the Legends Transformers this week. I don’t care what the haters say, I like the quirky Legends line, and these Transformers definitely up the game on complexity for the line. Starscream is rocking some big guns and wings, while Soundwave is kicking it with a giant cannon on one shoulder and… […]
Review Build: Duesenberg J
Wow. Just wow. I know I’ve said this before, but they just don’t design cars like they used to. There’s an elegance and class that has faded away over the years. I suppose a large part of that is just that cars aren’t as much of a luxury as they used to be. I’m no […]
Build: Lighthouse Mod
This model modification has been in the works for a very long time. I don’t know how long, but I know it was well before October of 2018 that I starting thinking about it. I know that because I went through several ideas before finally settling on one, and that last one I started executing […]
Two New Exclusives Appear
Well, the exclusives have started again. I know there are some of us that do not like exclusives. And there are some that enjoy the hunt. Rather than debating the merits of exclusive models, I’m just going to skip to the part where we can appreciate the designs, and I can let you know where […]
Narrated Build: Buckeye Butterfly
So, with my self-imposed limitations on build session durations, it seemed like a good idea to take another stab at a narrated build video of a beginner model. And, once again, it took me a lot longer than I expected. I’ve already built all the butterfly models, but decided to get another one and build […]

Want a chance to win some free models? Of course you do! Just head over to Instagram (sign up if you need to, it’s worth it for free models, right? Plus the #MetalEarthFam community is pretty awesome over there) and post a picture of where you build your models. It doesn’t have to be fancy, […]
Coming Soon: International Space Station
Oh yeah. I am so ready for this model. I do believe this is the first real-life space-themed ICONX model, and I think they chose the right subject for that. I can’t wait to build it, ever since they teased it, and even the rumors before that. This is going to be a beast of […]
Build: Iron Throne
Having never seen the show, I still feel like this was the appropriate way to light the Iron Throne model. I was probably influenced by the photo of the actual throne from the show on the back of the packaging. But I really like how it turned out. And, of course, Chewie had to be […]
Mod: Buried AT-AT on Hoth
Sometimes, you can make the best of a bad situation if you just change your perspective a little. Like this mod, which was conceptually born as I went through and assessed the damages from a shelf full of Metal Earth models collapsing onto another shelf full of models, which subsequently fell down. I was able […]
