Default Aren't these just freaking cool?

Found this 'Metal Earth' laser cut model kit on my last trip to my local hobby store.



Incredibly fiddly to assemble, but I was amazed when I was done, so I thought I'd share.

Here it is on the bed of my TF2 for scale reference:

I have a tank one that someone bought me, but I have yet to assemble it. How long did it take?

Guess a bit over an hour (not counting carefully removing the parts from the sheet). Wasn't too bad, just used small needle nose pliers and some pincers.

Here's the Taj Mahal and an Imperial Star Destroyer that my oldest kid did. The Taj Mahal has been dropped a few too many times

Make a scale transmitter to go with it, and you'll have a RC plane for your truck.

I tried a halo truck once. At the end it became just a pile of metal. But you did great. Looks awesome when finished correctly.

A friend of mine gave me one of those a few years ago. Pretty cool.

I've had my eye on them for a while, but I resist because I have little patience and those would test it.
