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: 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 […]
A Display for the Golden Rose
A few weeks ago, I built the Golden Rose as a Valantine’s gift for my wife. It’s a beautiful model, and she really liked it. But then I realized I had created a couple of challenges for her as well. Where to put it and how to keep it safe? I mean, yeah, a vase […]
Build: Golden Rose (in Gold!)
So… it seemed an appropriate time to build this model last week. Because I built it to give to my wife. It was going to be a surprise Valentine’s gift, but then one of my kids came over and saw me working (most of the time my wife doesn’t end up over in the corner […]
Coming Soon: Two Fancy Vehicles From Piececool
Usually this time of year is quiet, but both Piececool and Fascinations are bucking trends. Today, it’s Piececool, which dropped these two rather ornate and detailed models. First up is The Wind Breaker, a ship that seems like it should sink with how much it is weighed down by insane amounts of… well, everything! Not […]
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 […]
Build: Killen and Banas
I am finally finishing up the Piececool Q-Series models of the Three Kingdoms characters. And I’m guessing that it will also just be finishing up the Q-Series in general, because it doesn’t seem like that line is destined to receive any additions in the future. But boy-howdy did I save the best for last. I […]
Piececool Brings Marvel and Ancient
Well, you had to know it was coming. Three more Marvel models have just been dropped on the Piececool website. Along with a couple of additions to the Datang Small Street line, which looks to be gaining at least 5 more sets (including these two). But I know y’all are more excited about the Marvel […]
Build: K-2SO (Piececool)
Oh. My. Word. The matte finish really, really works on this model. Also, this model is awesome! And solid, thanks to all the cylinders. It’s great to have a giant version of my second favorite droid, and it looks great! I think the larger size of this model makes it a lot easier to get […]
News Roundup!
So… guess who’s been a bit busy with life?!? Yeah, that would be me. Sorry I’ve fallen behind and missed posting about these three models, so you probably have already heard about them. Such is life when life gets in the way of life. What we have here is a teaser of the S-64 Skycrane […]
