Okay, so I’m being a little silly, but it’s late and I’m tired, so I get the privilege of being goofy. And I’m thinking of “unlocking” in terms of achievements, or bonus content in games and whatnot, where something is given as a reward. But in this case, it’s not a reward for an achievement, […]
Coming Soon: Pisa and Mini Lions
After what seems like a long quiet period, Piececool has added 2 or 7 new models, depending on how you count it. The first on is the Torre di Pisa. Yes, that’s the “English” name of it. Don’t ask me. The other 1 (or 6) model(s) is/are the Mini Lion Dance model(s), basically miniature versions […]
Sneak Peek: Jet Ski [Finally] Revealed
![Sneak Peek: Jet Ski [Finally] Revealed](https://metalearthbuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/image-18.png)
Life has been busy, and once again, I am running late on the news. Seems like I need a little bit more of the summer that Metal Earth was talking about in their latest Newsletter, where they revealed this gorgeous Jet Ski Ultra 310LX model. Once again, it’s just a sneak peek, so we get […]
Two Bits of News
One slightly delayed, one fresh off the press. Late last week, Piececool added the Garuda Coronet model, and just tonight, Metal Earth added the F/A-18 Super Hornet to the coming soon page. The Super Hornet was teased in a recent Metal Earth Newsletter (as well as on the back of another aviation model), but now […]
Piececool: New and Old News
If you like paper cranes, then you’ll want to read this post. And if you like stale news that I forgot to post about, I’ve got something in here for you, too! All of it from Piececool, and some may already be available. For the old news, I’ve gotta tell you about the Shen Lou […]
Coming Soon: Buckbeak!!!!
Okay, so… obviously I’m excited. But even for people who are not Potterheads, you have to admit that the feathered models that Metal Earth and Piececool have released are generally some of the more gorgeous ones. Ironically, when Metal Earth asked what other flying creatures people might want, this (and Fawkes, the phoenix) were top […]
Coming Soon: F/A-18 Super Hornet
And that’s all the pictures we get of it. The Super Hornet is not yet on the official coming soon page, but comes courtesy of the March Metal Earth Newsletter as a Sneak Peek feature. It looks like it’s going to be a fun build to sink your teeth into, though, with all the panels […]
Coming Soon: More on Piececool Street
It appears that Piececool is returning with 4 more entries into the Tang Dynasty Street Scene, similar to the Datang Street Scene it has released before. The models being added this time include The Casino, Cloth Store, Yihong Garden, and Tang Dynasty Scenery Set. I really like the idea of these “diorama” style sets of […]
Coming Soon: A Robot and Two Choppers
Okay, so we knew about one of the choppers already, and the other chopper is in a combined package with the robot, but let me have fun with my post titles! As always, I’m excited to get another space exploration model, so I am not disappointed at all that they have added a Mars Rover […]
Coming Soon: Donghua Wonderland
Sometimes things get lost in translation. Other times they get added. This seems to be an unfortunate case of the latter that was not caught on review. Putting that aside, this looks like another whimsical model, much like the Moon Palace. Furthermore, it looks like it’s might end up being part of a set, given […]
