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 […]
New Jeep and Updated Shuttle Photos
Well, I guess I should have waited one more day to make that post about some new models coming. Metal Earth has added a new variation of the Willys jeep to the coming soon. This ICONX model is titled Willys Overland, and appears very similar to the Willys MB Jeep. At the same time, some […]
Review Build: ICONX Imperial Star Destroyer
Does this model really need an introduction? I mean, come on, it’s so iconic! And now it’s finally ICONX, too! Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry! I’m a dad, what do you expect? Dad jokes come with the package. Anyways, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to build this model, and amazingly enough, Fascinations sent me one […]

Review Build: Log Truck…
It’s been a while since I built an ICONX, so I thought it was about time. And so I’ve started on the ICONX Western Star 4900 Log Truck and Trailer, another model that Fascinations has been kind enough to send me to review. This model has been quite a detailed and intricate build, taking roughly […]
Coming Soon: ICONX Hogwarts Express
Holy canoli! I’m excited about this one. The trains are some of the best looking results, and they’ve been getting better and better. And now, we finally get an ICONX Train. And it’s three sheets. And from Harry Potter. And…. it has a chain on the back? I’m really curious about the inclusion of the […]
Build: Blue Dragon
It’s poetic that the first build I post on my new blog is the 250th Metal Earth model that I’ve built. And, having built the Silver Dragon for the 150th build, I thought it only appropriate to follow suit and go for a Dragon again. And boy is this one a beauty. Of course, I’m […]
