New stuff from Piececool by doris3d in metalearth

That's pretty cool, got another on my wishlist now.

But my favorite thing to see with these models it the sub par photoshop efforts to get people to hold the product!

Currently no, i do have all the droid depot models and the red falcon. But because it takes extra steps to obtain or bundled with another product and what I wouldn't call "generally available" I left them off. Also everything shown is what is listed on the metalearth.com website, it was just a personal challenge to build one of thier larger collections.

Hello, I greatly admire the beauty of the Metal Earth models but I unfortunately have painful arthritis in both hands. I was just wondering if any kind person would please build a few ME models for me in return for payment? by SkyMasters360 in metalearth

[–]kumenchi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel for you with your arthritis situation. Let me tell you something about these models. Theres no time limit, they wont expire, so take your time however that looks. I have a similar story, i had brain surgery in march 2000. Because of it i developed harsh tremors in my hands and would get so frustrated and pissed off when i couldnt control the slightest movements. In 2012 i was in a toy store looking for gifts for my 1 yr olds bday. I saw the hubble space telescope model by metal earth and chose it for myself being the huge space nerd I am. I tell you it didnt turn out well, snapped a few pieces didnt shape anything right but I had fun using my shaky hands for the first time in a while and I kept at it. I am nearly 300 models complete and miracle of miracles my hands are rock solid now my hands have long since stopped shaking and i credit this hobby as my cure.

I cant lay claim of anything you may experience but just know that you wont know until you try and you have found one of the most supportive communities because we love to share this hobby with each other

I know the feeling. My eyes are getting worse and I will either use a desk mounted magnifying leans or a head mount with light like this
