Next projects are the Ford Model T car, the Moon lander and Mars robot. The tractor is 1:50, about 65mm long and consists of more than 50 parts. Instructions are clear enough to assemble these tiny kits. Glossy surfaces get scratched easily, care or a rubberized tool is needed when twisting or pressing the connector tabs in place Cutting parts and filing edges is a must, mistakes are no option here, as multiple bending attempts will break the laser cut grooves soon. The finished tractor looks straight and great, almost flawless. Was more fun than I expected my myopic eyes (-10dpt) are perfect for the close up view of tiny parts. Got a customized bunch directly from China (5 kits for $25 shipped) and started with the antique Farm tractor. Now at age 54 I rediscovered my interest in fiddling with model kits and found these Metal Earth 3D objects. I have the apollo mission and space probes kits sitting in my drawer, waiting for my next conference call.Īs a kid I was into plastic kits (mostly large motorcycles). If you are the type that wants instant kits, or can not work with VERY small parts, These are NOT for you. They are great fun if you have the patience to spend time on them. Tweezers, punch knife, graduated awl (to round parts). I now have a small tool kit on my desk at work to build them. Gave a few away before I started building them (mistake). The gift shop was selling these for 50% off. It was the last day of an exhibit on miniature things. (Freeeking Awesome place if your ever in the area ). We Yelped things to do nearby and found a hands on science museum. I was introduced to them when on a business trip to Arizona. I love these things, I am always building them at work while on long conference calls.
If you’re not into those, Fascinations has several other lines of Metal Earth 3D models. So, even of you are not a model builder these models may be the items to set your Star Wars, Star Trek, HALO, Mass Effect or Transformers collection apart. Models vary in price but, I found the best prices (starting around $7) for the Fascination Metal Earth models to be on Amazon. While most of these models are small in scale, they have a lot of intricate detailing. They have Star Wars, Star Trek, HALO, Mass Effect and Transformers kits. Although the 3D and metal aspects of the models are interesting what really caught my eye were the licensed model sets. A company called Fascinations has sparked my interest with their Metal Earth 3D metal model kits. I have toyed with the idea of picking up some models to keep myself occupied, but I just have not found any that seemed interesting. As I got older my interest changed and model building went to the back burner. I will admit that as a young lad I liked building models.
