Round And Round She Goes!
I’ve always enjoyed building models, from snap together cars, Lego, anime Gundam robots and now Metal Earth from Fascinations! I first ran into Metal Earth kits in a little knick-knack store down in the states and immediately fell in love. These cool 3D laser cut model kits were super pricey, but hey when you build the model the finished product looks amazing. They say no tools necessary, but trust me you want to use some tweezers and perhaps needle-nose pliers to get the small bits out of the frame.
My first kit was the Ferris Wheel and holy cow I thought I was going to pitch the whole thing in the trash before I could finish building it. The little carriages the riders would sit in were almost bloody impossible to fold and connect to the wheel itself. But persistence paid off and as you can see the finished product DOES look amazing!
If you are able to find the Metal Earth kits, I encourage you to pick up some of the easier models before you dive into the more complex kits available.
Enjoy
