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 […]
Review Build: ISS: Rocket Surgery
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 […]
