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 […]
#TT: Spirit of St. Louis and Penny Farthing
Got a short #ThrowbackThursday post this week. Found myself running behind and didn’t have a lot of time to scroll through and find one with a decent level of “review” attributes. But I did find this one, and I really like both of the models here, especially that Penny Farthing – such a unique model. […]
Coming Soon: Hogwarts Castle and Stormbreaker
Hogwarts Castle and Stormbreaker dropping into Coming Soon on the same day? I knew I sensed a disturbance in the Metal Model Hobby, as if hundreds of individuals were greatly pleased. Oh, and they’ve added the Osprey that was teased in the Newsletter. Which is still cool, don’t get me wrong. It’s just in the […]
More Models On The Way
Bridging the gap (or ocean, in this case) I’m going to drop a quick post here about 3 new models. That includes one new model being teased in the Metal Earth Newsletter for December, and two variations of the same model that have trickled onto the Piececool website. Thus we have the V-22 Osprey and […]
Sneak Peek: P-40 Warhawk
This is why you subscribe to the Metal Earth Newsletter. You get nifty little sneak peeks from time to time, like this teaser of a P-40 Warhawk model currently in development (note the little footnote in the bottom right, where it says “not the final model”). Gotta say I’m digging the paint job with the […]
