The problem with having a big backlog of models is that some things stay in there longer than you want them to. The Sweet Arlene is definitely one of those models. Of course, I also feel like I’m always saying that the model I’m building is one that’s been waiting to be built for a […]
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 […]
Build: Pan Am China Clipper
As chosen by popular demand on my second Instagram “what should I build next?” post, I present this beautiful flying boat. I thought, for a while, that this model had been retired, but it appears that just the gift-box set version of it has been retired. But when I thought it was going to be […]
#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 […]
Coming Soon: Two New Aviation Models
I knew the Coming Soon section couldn’t stay empty for all that long. Looks like we are getting two new Aviation models, one terrestrial, and one space-bound. And I do want to emphasize new, because you might think that the Space Shuttle Discovery is just a colored version of the classic silver model, but you’d […]
Coming Soon: 4 More Piececool Models
According to the Google Translation, these models are honoring / celebrating the 70th Anniversary of “New China.” I’m not sure what that means, except for two brand new models (a tank and building), and two new color variants for existing models (an aircraft carrier and jet fighter). All of these are slated for release in […]
Coming Soon: B-24 Liberator
Metal Earth just dropped another model into the Coming Soon section, but for some reason, it’s only visible on the Fascinations website, not the Metal Earth one. Either way, this one looks great, clocking in at 3 sheets, the first of the airplanes to use that many. It should add quite a bit of detail […]
