A little birdie shared a few more photos with me. And I was thinking I would just add any additional photos I got to that last post. But this set of photos added in some more models that weren’t included in the last set. So they are getting their own post. This post is featuring […]
Metal Earth at the New York Toy Fair
Wow, I knew they were going to be at the toy fair this weekend, but I did not know there would be so many photos posted of the current line-up of pre-production models. Star Wars, Marvel, Terminator and more. Now, keep in mind, these shows are about showing what toys are coming soon. So when […]
Triple Build: Butterflies!!!
So, recently, I asked on Instagram what I should build next. And there was a clear and definitive winner. And then I built these three butterfly models (which weren’t an option) next. Why? Because my daughter wanted to do something together a day or two later, and suggested that we build our butterflies (she had […]
Review Build: First Order Treadspeeder
So, this is one of those Star Wars vehicles that make you think… wait, where was that? But at least this time, unlike with the First Order Snowspeeder, it was actually in the movie. The treadspeeder is the vehicle that the storm troopers were riding in the chase scene once the team was spotted in […]
Review Build: 1908 Ford Model T (in green)
Once again, I am privileged to bring you another build courtesy of Fascinations, who kindly sent me this gorgeous colored version of the 1908 Ford Model T. I’ve built this one before, quite a while back, in silver, and it’s just as fun and frightful as I remember. And by that, I mean it’s one […]
Build: Imperial AT-ATs
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 […]
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, […]
