Metal Earth

I would say this is a very good supplier of metal model kits and I have no complaints at all. The kit I chose was well made and the parts fitted together neatly. Delivery arrived sooner than I expected and everything was in order when I unpacked it.

Picked up a small metal kit for my desk as my first order here. The model looks great once it's built and the parts are a nice weight. Delivery took a little longer than the page said, about a week, but it turned up fine and nothing was damaged.

Ok so I'd tried a different metal kit from a different site and this one is so much better, the parts are cleaner and less sharp. Ordering took like two minutes on my phone and it arrived quicker than I thought. Got it built in a weekend and it's on my desk now.

Compared with the budget metal kits I've tried before, these are a clear step up in finish and the etched parts are cleaner with less burring. The instructions are laid out properly and the colour diagrams help a lot. I've been building model kits for years so I'm not easily impressed, but these are a good one to recommend to people starting out.

I compared a few brands before choosing this one and the photos on the site made it look bigger and more detailed than the kit turned out to be. The finished model was perfectly sound but the colour of the metal was a little duller than shown. I'd have expected a bit more from the description, and the price felt on the high side for what I got.

Honestly this is way better than the kit I got from a shop in town last year, the metal is thicker and the folds are crisp. Ordering was quick on my phone and I had it in a few days. Building it took an evening and I'm chuffed with how it looks on my windowsill.

I've bought the Eiffel Tower kit from them about four times now and every one has come well packed and the instructions are clear enough even for me. The tiny pieces need a bit of patience with tweezers but that's part of the fun for me. Delivery has been quick every time I've ordered, usually within a few days, and the prices are fair for what you get. My shelf is getting full and I'm not stopping anytime soon.

My dad had recently retired and was getting restless, so I needed a project that would keep his hands busy. I compared a few options and this one seemed to have the best reviews for the right skill level. The kit is a bit fiddly in places so it's not a quick job, but he has been loving it and asked for another.

The first thing I noticed was how small the etched bits are, like little sheets of metal you have to pop out really carefully or you'll bend them. I'd only ever done plastic kits before so this was a new one for me. Ordering was easy, the site told me what I needed and it turned up in about three days. The finished model looks way better than I thought it would on my desk.

I needed something to keep me occupied during evenings at home and a metal kit seemed a sensible choice. The price is good compared with some other hobby kits I've seen, and I got a lot of pieces for the money. The only thing I'd mention is that a couple of the small tabs were slightly fiddly to bend into place, but I got there in the end.

I've tried several of the other metal kit makers over the years and this one holds its own quite nicely. The detail on the parts is every bit as fine as the more expensive brands I've bought before. I found the instructions sensible and was pleased with the result.

What struck me most was the fineness of the etched parts, which are much smaller than I expected. The little railings and handrails came out beautifully once I had my magnifier on. I found the instructions easy to follow, though I did need to take my time over the smaller steps. It's a lovely hobby and I'm glad I came across them.

My nephew is nine and into building things, so I needed something that would keep him busy for an afternoon. I looked at a couple of other brands first but the ones on the high street were either too easy or far too pricey. This one hit the right level and the box arrived in good time before his birthday. He spent most of the party working on it and his dad now wants one too.

I looked at three or four metal kit suppliers before picking this one, mainly on the level of detail and the price. This came out ahead on both, and the parts fit well with only a little tidying of the edges. Delivery was a touch slower than the others I'd considered, but the kit itself was worth the wait.

First time ordering from them and I was surprised how small the etched parts are, like tiny sheets of metal you have to pop out carefully. The instructions were clear enough and I managed it on my kitchen table in one evening. Really fun way to spend a rainy night.

Needed something to do over the weekend so I ordered a metal kit. The model is good once you've built it but delivery took nearly two weeks which was annoying. Customer service replied eventually but it took a few days.

I was not expecting the sheets to be quite so fine, but once I had the tweezers out they went together rather nicely. The instructions were clear and the whole thing sits well on the mantelpiece now.

Simply put, this is a good kit that does what it should and the finish is better than most I've had. I've built a fair few of these over the years and the instructions here are some of the clearest. The metal feels solid and the parts sit well together.

This one is the best of the three I looked at, and I went with it mainly for the detail. I compared it against two other suppliers, and the level of detail on the site was spot on. The finish is better than the cheaper sets I had seen, with cleaner edges. It cost a bit more than the others but it is worth it.

I bought the Eiffel Tower kit as my first order with them and it arrived in good time, about four days. The metal is nice and thick and the folds are crisp. My only niggle is that a couple of the small tabs needed a bit of coaxing with the tweezers to line up, and the glue wasn't in the box, so I had to dig out my own. Otherwise pleased with it.
