I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this generosity, but a fellow builder friend was not only kind enough to help me acquire this model (that is exclusively available as Disneyland Paris), but he ended up just giving it to me. And this is not the first time he’s done something like this! Thank […]
Build: Javits Convention Center
Sometimes it’s nice to get a quick, simple build in. Especially if you’ve just finishing a meticulous build, right after a long break from building (don’t worry, that post is coming, I’m just doing this slightly out of order). And this retired model satisfies that requirement… for the most part. You probably won’t be that […]
News Roundup: Coming Soon and Exclusive
That’s right! I’m running behind again. So let’s catch up on some things you might have missed, at least if I was your only source of metal model news. Quick summary: Universal Studios added a new Hagrid’s Motorbike exclusive, Metal Earth has published the Quidditch Pitch and Bumblebee to the coming soon page, and Piececool […]
Gratuitous News Post
So yeah, time for another “all the news I’ve failed to share as it actually happened” news post. I’m probably not sharing anything you didn’t already know about. But I feel like if I ignored it and just posted the next news items without these, it would be wrong. So… yeah. Not-so-new news coming at […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Review Build: Salt Lake Temple
Before I even started this model, I’d been warned to be prepared for a lather-rinse-repeat experience. Several other builders had done it and said so. None of them said that as a bad thing, just as a warning to be prepared. And they were right. There’s a lot of the same, but look at it! […]
Coming Soon: Piececool Architecture
Wow, been a busy week of news! We’ve got some rather impressive architectural builds showing up on the Piececool website, strangely enough with a release date of two days ago (and before the Droid models date). These three models, the Ziwei Palace, Daming Palace, and Wind-Rain Bridge, are all rearing and ready to go. Along […]
Dragon Gate Models Coming to Piececool
Piececool is really cranking them out these days. Of course, that’s the benefit of being the same company that manufactures these models. No need to wait on import processing delays as a result of the Beer Flu. Anyways, it looks like they have three new models added to the page, and I know at least […]
