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: 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: 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 […]
