When Metal Earth started to colorize these it was a huge improvement . I wouldn't recommend this particular kit as a first try , it's pretty complex and you need practice first by building a couple simpler kits . My first Metal Earth kits were the F4U Corsair and F-22 Raptor shown below . The first one went so-so but by the time I finished the second one I had figured out the best way of bending the parts and twisting all the tiny tabs to hold them together .

Those are all very cool,Bob! The space shuttle looks very realistic! Great work! I like your added photoshop pics of the real deal side by side with a picture of your build as well!
I have a few metal earth photo etched kits as well. I started on a Grand Piano and ran out of patience.I was building that for my daughter who I thought was gonna take up piano playing,but she lost interest in the Piano when she went to college. Oh well,maybe I’ll finish it someday. For now,add it to my growing list of “stalled builds”! Lol

Wow, that looks amazing ! I've seen the earlier kits they had, but shied away from them as I wasn't sure what was involved. .I may have to look into these !

I can relate to you running out of patience . . . more than once I pushed the Shuttle away , got up and walked outside to throw something !

They have several kits now that are "colorized" and it really makes a difference .
