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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Two Bits of News
One slightly delayed, one fresh off the press. Late last week, Piececool added the Garuda Coronet model, and just tonight, Metal Earth added the F/A-18 Super Hornet to the coming soon page. The Super Hornet was teased in a recent Metal Earth Newsletter (as well as on the back of another aviation model), but now […]
Checklists Revived! (And Improved)
It’s alive! I mean, they’re alive! But not really. Because they are inanimate, non-physical collections of ones and zeros. But you get my point. After much more time than it should have taken, I have finally restored my Metal Earth and Piececool Checklists to function properly. I’ve had to relocate them to a new home, […]
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 […]
