That’s right, I’ve reached the end and finished this amazing model. It’s been quite the journey and I’ve enjoyed the challenge of it. Some parts had me cursing, some parts were a breeze, and some felt a little repetitive. But I am loving the results. I’m remembering the post I wrote a few weeks back, […]
Review Build: ISS: Sealing Things Up
No, I’m not done with the entire International Space Station build yet. I’ve still got to get it some more power. But I have finished up all of the pressurized sections with the completion of the American managed side of this amazing feat of engineering. And what an interesting session it was. Now, some of […]
Review Build: ISS: Out of Order?
Okay, so… admittedly that’s potentially a clickbait of a post title. But I’m having fun with the titles for the individual posts for this one, and I’ve chose to do some of this build out of order with regards to the steps in the instructions. Especially in this latest build session. Now, I’ll understand if […]
Review Build: ISS: Getting Excited
I’ve noticed a recurring pattern when building Metal Earth models. Not in the model design, but in the building experience. Because there seems to be a point in almost every model where what you’ve finished so far changes from something funky / weird / odd / ugly looking to something exciting. It’s often a quick […]
Review Build: ISS: Rocket Surgery

Because it would not let go of the fact that I discovered, after the first build session, that there were spacecraft docked to the ISS, and that was just begging to be […]
Review Build: ISS: Russian Into Things
Forgive me for the bad pun, but it’s who I am. If there is a pun opportunity, I am going to take it. And that means that when the model starts with the Russian components of the International Space Station, then I’m going to make a bad joke. Nevermind the fact that I didn’t actually […]
Review Build: ISS: It Has Begun
Well, I promise I didn’t steal that front Brad / AnimateOrange. I decided to start my next build, and it’s going to be a long one. And I didn’t think there was a remote chance that I would be able to finish it, much less write a blog post about it, in time for my […]
Coming Soon: International Space Station
Oh yeah. I am so ready for this model. I do believe this is the first real-life space-themed ICONX model, and I think they chose the right subject for that. I can’t wait to build it, ever since they teased it, and even the rumors before that. This is going to be a beast of […]
