Okay, so we knew about one of the choppers already, and the other chopper is in a combined package with the robot, but let me have fun with my post titles! As always, I’m excited to get another space exploration model, so I am not disappointed at all that they have added a Mars Rover […]
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 […]
Narrated Build: Space Shuttle
So… things are going to be a little different this week. Because I decided to try something different, and then life went crazy, and I’m way behind on my other build posts, and I can push this one to the top of the queue and finish it much more quickly than my other builds. Because […]
Coming Soon: ISS Space Station
Yes, I know that’s redundant, but International Space Station is a really long text to put in the post title! Anyways, the Metal Earth newsletter dropped this fine little gem today. Do note the “design not final” disclaimer at the bottom, but still… I’m excited! That thing has got to be an ICONX, right? And […]
Coming Soon: Confirmation and Surprise
Alright, just checked Metal Earth’s Coming Soon page to find two of the teased models, and one that flew under (or over?) the radar. Both Boba Fett and Deadpool full-figure models are now live on the website, and they snuck in another revamped Space Shuttle, this time it’s Atlantis (as opposed to the already released […]
New Jeep and Updated Shuttle Photos
Well, I guess I should have waited one more day to make that post about some new models coming. Metal Earth has added a new variation of the Willys jeep to the coming soon. This ICONX model is titled Willys Overland, and appears very similar to the Willys MB Jeep. At the same time, some […]
Build: Apollo CSM with LM
I’ll start off by admitting that I had to google the acronyms in the name of this model to make sure I got this right: this is a model of the Command and Service Module and attached Lunar Module (originally designate the Lunar Excursion Module). And let me tell you, this is a gorgeous and […]
Build: Apollo Saturn V With Gantry
50 years ago today, the Saturn V carrying the Apollo 11 mission was launched, beginning the journey of the first humans to set foot on a celestial body other than Earth. It’s probably cliche and trite to build this model and schedule the blog post to release at the exact minute, 50 years later, but […]
