Once again, much time has passed, and during that time, much news has happened in the realm of the brands that I try to keep up with. This time, there are 10 models to cover, 5 from Metal Earth (but I would hazard that there are at least 3 more implied) and 5 from Piececool. […]
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 […]
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: Tomcat & Black Hawk
Shortly after I posted about the Knight Bus appearing on the Coming Soon page, Metal Earth sent out their monthly newsletter with a sneak peek at an upcoming model, the Black Hawk helicopter. And I completely forgot to post anything about it. But then I check things today, and they’ve added an F-14 Tomcat to […]
Review Build: B-24 Liberator
Big. This model is big. It’s technically not an ICONX / Premium Series model, but it might as well be. I don’t quite know how they managed to make something this big with only 3 classic-size Metal Earth sheets. It’s quite impressive. And it’s gorgeous, too. The camera did not do a great job of […]
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 […]
Build: B-1B Lancer
This one turned out quite a bit bigger than I was expecting. I mean, it’s not huge, but it’s not small either. And it is definitely a unique looking build, as far as the planes I’ve built. It’s long, narrow, sleek, and almost has a haughtiness to it. And those jet engines… those look pretty […]
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 […]
Vader, Warhawk and Dragon Lady Coming Soon!
I’m sure I’m not the only one glad to see that Vader has finally made his debut on the Coming Soon page! And wow, does he look good. I especially like the way the cloak (not cape) is shaped to account for his forward leg/knee. And of course, the iconic hand position, which I think […]
CS: Tuskegee, Kawasaki and Infinity
Wow, I’ve been off my game today. I am way late to the party, but feel like I still need to make a post. Metal Earth has updated their Coming Soon page to add the Infinity Gauntlet, the Tuskegee Airmen P-5D Mustang, and the Kawasaki GPz900R models. And, on a slightly less exciting note, they’ve […]
