Some thoughts

I haven't posted any updates on my Metal Earth construction projects for a while. Altogether I have finished 3 kits over the past weeks, and have one more ongoing. Let's have a look. First up, I did an Avro Lancaster: This one came out pretty well apart from putting the last proppeller on upside down! Next, Tower Bridge. I was also pretty happy with how it turned out. Finally a Stegosaurs. This was the hardest to build and the ribs were very fiddly. I also got them a bit out of sequence and left one out. I have enjoyed putting these together and doing something practical over the past few months.

Following on from my previous post , here's my latest completed project, Tiananmen gate: Finished this earlier in the week, about 2 afternoons worth of build time. The colour scheme of this one is quite nice. Overall this build went fairly smoothly with no errors or breakages. I am awaiting delivery of my next kit and deciding what else to order

 I recently got into making Metal Earth 3D puzzles kits (I need something physical to do during the lockdown. Here are the fruits of my labours so far.  The first one I built was the Titanic. Apart from bending the cables between the masts, I think it turned out well for an initial attempt. Next, I built a DH Tiger Moth. This one was a bit tougher, and I ended up breaking the tailfin. The bracing between the wings didn't go well either. Then I built Osaka castle. (this one is a different brand- Microwotld, hence the coloured finish). Am quite pleased with how this one turned out. Today I finished building the USS Arizona. This was probably the most complex and time-consuming, not helped by breaking the foremast and having to remove the broken part (luckily there was a spare!). Shaping the hull was tricky too. Apart from the foremast being a bit wobbly am happy with the finished product Now I just need to decide what next to build!
