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. […]
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 […]
Build: Sweet Arlene (P-51D Mustang)
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
