Metal Earth is bringing two new models, the Naoe Armor and the ICONX / Premium Series P-38 Lightning! No news on when they will be coming, but they look gorgeous. Love the addition of a twin tail airplane to the aviation lineup. It has such a unique profile that it should stand out in any […]
Build: House Stark Sigil
Well, I’m just a rebel. Not only did I decide to do a “wash” to increase the contrast on the lines on just part of this model, I decided to form the hair tufts completely different! I saw the graphic on the back of the package and really liked the way they looked there, so […]
Review Build: Hogwarts Express (ICONX)
Wow. I’ve had this model for some time now, sent to me by Fascinations to review, and just now got to it. And it’s gorgeous, and big, and shiny. I regret waiting so long to build it, but at the time I got it, I had also just gotten the Books-A-Million Hogwarts Express exclusive. I […]
Sneak Peeks at Mandalorian and Mars Models
Well, I missed getting to make a post about the Perseverance Rover (and Ingenuity Helicopter!) on Friday due to life getting busy-busy-busy, but it turned out to be a good thing. Because now I get to bring you two news items at once, what with Innovatoys getting the scoop on the Mandalorian models, and dropping […]
Review Build: Salt Lake Temple
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: 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 […]
A Storm[trooper] is Blowing In…
![A Storm[trooper] is Blowing In…](https://metalearthbuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/stormheader.jpg)
Don’t blink! Metal Earth just dropped another official confirmation of a teased model – the classic Stormtrooper is on it’s way! Which we already knew about, but now we have some official fancy product photos! Gotta say, I never noticed the different knee-pads before these photos. Either on the models, or the movies. Also, that […]
#TT: Queen Anne’s Revenge and the Snitch
Time for another #ThrowbackThursday! This week, we’re going back to another double-model build post. This one features the ICONX Queen Anne’s Revenge, as well as the Harry Potter Snitch model. Bother rather wonderful models, though I kinda want to revisit that Snitch, it’s looking rather lopsided, and I am a bit of a perfectionist, after […]
CS: Tuskegee, Kawasaki and Infinity
Wow, I’ve been off my game today. I am way late to the party, but feel like I still need to make a post. Metal Earth has updated their Coming Soon page to add the Infinity Gauntlet, the Tuskegee Airmen P-5D Mustang, and the Kawasaki GPz900R models. And, on a slightly less exciting note, they’ve […]
#TT: Willys MB Jeep
Heading into the rough territory of retired models, I’m taking the #ThrowbackThursday this week to the Willys MB Jeep, which has been retired in favor of the new Willys Overland. Though, from what it looks like, the only real difference between the two models is that the MB Jeep has a mounted gun and the […]
