This is the part where I give the disclaimer that I have not actually watched Game of Thrones, and then defend my decision, but also explain that I’m not going to pass up an awesome model just because I haven’t seen the associated show. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, check out […]
Catching Up: Exclusives
I’m probably not going to be doing a lot of news posts (coming soon, etc) for a while, but I did want to do a few catch-up posts that will be a little light on details. This first one is focused on the Metal Earth Exclusives that have slipped through the cracks while I was […]
Review Build: Drogon
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 […]
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 […]
Hogwarts Express on Hogwarts Express
I had the pleasure and privilege this last week to take my first vacation in over 5 years. We decided to treat the kiddos to a special (and much more expensive than any we’ve ever taken) vacation, and took them to Universal Orlando. My wife and I were both fully vaccinated, and we took all […]
Build: Gringott’s & Dragon
The ampersand makes all the difference. This model is exclusively available at Universal Studios, and I was lucky enough to have a fellow builder help me out with acquiring one without paying the eBay scalping prices. And I’m loving it. Not just because it’s a dragon (DRAGONS!!!), but also because of the wonky-wacky architecture of […]
Review Build: ISS: Powerful Ending
That’s right, I’ve reached the end and finished this amazing model. It’s been quite the journey and I’ve enjoyed the challenge of it. Some parts had me cursing, some parts were a breeze, and some felt a little repetitive. But I am loving the results. I’m remembering the post I wrote a few weeks back, […]
Review Build: ISS: Out of Order?
Okay, so… admittedly that’s potentially a clickbait of a post title. But I’m having fun with the titles for the individual posts for this one, and I’ve chose to do some of this build out of order with regards to the steps in the instructions. Especially in this latest build session. Now, I’ll understand if […]
Review Build: ISS: Getting Excited
I’ve noticed a recurring pattern when building Metal Earth models. Not in the model design, but in the building experience. Because there seems to be a point in almost every model where what you’ve finished so far changes from something funky / weird / odd / ugly looking to something exciting. It’s often a quick […]
