Metal Earth Models - Karyn's new obsession

Check out the amazing Metal Earth Models, Karyn's new obsession! She is working on a Denver and Rio Grande Western Mogul, but just finished a stagecoach.

She also has the Artesania Latina 1/10 scale Stagecoach wood model, and it is the exact same model. Even the same luggage! A hatbox, a trunk, and a bag. What are the odds! Well pretty good we think because clearly the Artesania Latina model was used as the pattern model for the Metal Earth!

She bagged one of these a few months ago at the hobby shop and had so much fun putting it together we were right back getting another. The newest ones are made in full color and are some really fun subjects.

Metal Earth models build up from small sheets of very thin metal that is folded and shaped into the finished model. Usually without any glue.

From their web site:
Metal Earth is made from high-quality steel sheets. Each model features amazing detail with parts cut from one or more 4” square steel sheets. Easy to follow instructions are included with each kit and NO GLUE OR SOLDER REQUIRED! Simply snip out the pieces and bend the tabs through corresponding connection points.

Wow how amazing! Looks like a ton of fun.

Not sure what I like more about your shows -- the fact you're having so much fun or that you are excellent modelers. So I'll just enjoy. Thank you! Tom Kibbe

Fantastic; and never boring! I reckon my wife would enjoy building a loco or a coach. Loved it.

You two are always discovering new things-I think they're new. It was fun watching the discussion, execution and displaying these wonderful little kits. They look tedious but rewarding.
Further Screwing Around should include the Eccles Organ Festival Recitals in the Cathedral of the Madeleine. Some very fine pipe organ music.

Those look great, too small and delicate for my old eyes but they are very Cool
Great job Karyn, please show us the locomotive when you finish it

Those are some neat small models good luck with them Mrs Karyn

[lesliedickinson]

They are great looking models and you have done such a good job of them Karyn. Being a railway buff I like the look of the locomotive and will be interested to see it finished

[unclemarksdiyauto]

So cool Karyen! The detail! Probably too small for my big mitts and older eyes. Wonder if they have larger scale kits? Thanks again for the videos!

[azmike]

Beautiful! Those are really nice!
Well done!

I had to laugh when I read the title. My wife has the addiction too. she has built several and plans to do more. She is presently working on a 1/350 Titanic. If you have time stop by our channel and check it out.

Super cool great job I never seen these I need to keep my eye out and buy one because they look fun thanks

OK Karyn ! You’ve Caught me off-guard ! Now you got to do is do a little demonstration on one of the more easier ones ! I know you have to use snips like we usually use in model railroading ! Especially when you’re cutting ‘Track’ that’s only on “N” or “Z” scale !!! Not a Lotta good for HO because it’s too thick but, I think I have one ! And just out of curiosity, didn’t you do the (“command module, service module, & the lunar module”) too at an earlier date when you first introduced us to them ???? If I remember correctly those three were some of the kits that came out along with the Star Wars & others ! 🌊🐺

[robertemmons]

Oh my! Love those models! I had seen those types of kits at Hammonds Toys hobby store last year. I was sceptical on picking one up, but after seeing Karyns I'll have to try one out!

Thanks again for another great episode!

Very cool! My husband has several of those Metal Works he built. He even built the Seattle Space Needle. But he gave that one away to a friend who was from Seattle. Anyway, gotta love those hobbies. I build model train layouts and so I really enjoy the road trips you two take and all the neat model trains. The Evanston, WY video was cool because we live only an hour and a half away and we went to that train show. Thanks for the great videos!!

[donwilsmore]

Thanks to you lovely couple, ... I’ve just bought the stage coach ...!

[charliehallman]

Interestingly it seems that they use Bachmann trains as their prototypes for the railroading models. The loco you have is a dead ringer for the ON30 mogul, right down to using the same number, there 4-4-0 is a copy of Bachmann's updated HO model which in turn is based off Rivarossi's models, and their "Complete Freight Train" uses the Bachmann Rail Chief set.

I bought one of those and I thought I was going to build it. NOT ANYMORE! 🙁 Way to delicate for my big paws! 🐾

[weeniedogwrangler]

That Concord stagecoach really is beautiful. Love the detail. Would have to keep them in a glass case to keep them clean I suppose. I'd hate to have to dust them if they were just placed on a shelf.

[cudathehawgjetfixer]

Keep it up! On photo-etch parts what I use is masking tape on the backs so the small parts don't get lost to the carpet monster, but don't get discouraged, the secret is to have fun!
