Now and Zen |
Your recent thread about your Ronin Boba Fett figure made me decide to post this.  I received these for Christmas, from a relative who knows that at my age all presents don't have to be practical. These are from Metal Earth, they start out as two photoetched sheets that you clip the parts from and by folding, bending and inserting tabs into slots the subject matters are assembled. Metal Earth does a wide variety of subjects, I already have the Pan Am Chins Clipper, B-17G and Lunar Rover, and they are a pleasant change from my usual hobby of assembling plastic model aircraft. Each one of these are about three inches in length. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | ||

Mistake Not... |
I really appreciate folks like you with the patience and dexterity to create things like this. Much like Calvin, all my airplane models got hit by "anti-aircraft fire" before completion as a child. And, er, not as a child. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Nice! I had wanted to get in to the Metal Earth series after seeing what my brother had put together. Going through each one to get what would look like the biggest PITA and start from there. Battleships, locomotives, Army Jeeps, Gundams, Transformers... I found the dragon (ICX023). Yeah, just a bit more involved than the Washington Monument. Was able to get the whole thing together without slicing the you know what out of myself. My brother said that that he didn't know what was worse, that I built it with the tabs folded up on the inside and not exposed, or that I named her Phyllis.   | |||

My son got a couple of these for gifts and has yet to get one completely assembled. They are not easy to do but pretty neat. | |||

I just got the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean, but haven't put it together yet. I'll post it up when I do. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . .

Cool. I've thought about getting one of those. Now I have to. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

They are a fun diversion from my usual plastic scale model building hobby. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||
