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…

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 […]
Coming Soon: Confirmation and Surprise
Alright, just checked Metal Earth’s Coming Soon page to find two of the teased models, and one that flew under (or over?) the radar. Both Boba Fett and Deadpool full-figure models are now live on the website, and they snuck in another revamped Space Shuttle, this time it’s Atlantis (as opposed to the already released […]
#TT: Disney D23 Expo Exclusive Castle
For this week, on #ThrowbackThursday, I’ve decided to revisit a model I posted before I even did very much in the way of reviewing in my posts. Why? Because I love this model, and am quite sad that it’s next to impossible to find anymore. Maybe if some more interest were expressed in this model, […]
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 […]
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 […]
