Apparently, my subconscious didn’t think that this build was challenging enough. My conscious mind disagrees, but my subconscious had it out for me. Because it would not let go of the fact that I discovered, after the first build session, that there were spacecraft docked to the ISS, and that was just begging to be […]
Review Build: ISS: Russian Into Things
Forgive me for the bad pun, but it’s who I am. If there is a pun opportunity, I am going to take it. And that means that when the model starts with the Russian components of the International Space Station, then I’m going to make a bad joke. Nevermind the fact that I didn’t actually […]
Review Build: ISS: It Has Begun
Well, I promise I didn’t steal that front Brad / AnimateOrange. I decided to start my next build, and it’s going to be a long one. And I didn’t think there was a remote chance that I would be able to finish it, much less write a blog post about it, in time for my […]
So Much News. So Much Behind.
Alright, I’ll admit it. The holiday season got me good, and I have been swamped with other life stuff. So I’m way behind on news. Eight models behind, in fact. So… yeah, this is gonna be a lot. In no order whatsoever, here’s what’s been happening in Metal Earth and Piececool news, as far as […]
Coming Soon: Terminator T-800
It’s official! The T-800 Model has finally appeared on the Coming Soon page! Appearing way back at the New York Toy Fair, this model has had quite a few of us, definitely including me, drooling at the idea of building it. And it looks gorgeous. It’s definitely not going to be for beginners (just look […]
Build: ICONX Parrot
Well, no need to mince words here, this model is gorgeous. I think I might even prefer it to the peacock. And, apologies to the purists, but this model and the peacock are justification alone for the printed-color models. Also, we need more models with feathers, cause they create a serious wow factor, right? I […]
Coming Soon: Armor and Twin Tails
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 […]
