Metal Earth Fascinations Wild West Revolver 3D Metal Model Kit

Product came on time and in excellent shape…My dad loves these things ..! He said a few parts were kinda difficult but mainly nice n smooth…. Came out mint….!! Super happy… if u like these puzzles this is perfect to get…. Looks mad cool too…!

These 3D kits are great for people with patience of insane proportions, the parts are small and very temperamental as its only thin metal, so if you misplace one you run a great risk or the tabs breaking off because the twisting and bending will weaken it big time and after a couple of times bending it back and forth the little tabs break off or the part itself will break. Even with the minor issue these are great, the detail is hands down out of this world good and if you have patience with this kinda stuff I'm sure even my noted problem wont be a issue, i just get in too big of a hurry...lol

My hubby loves these models, and my dad is a collector/ lover of weapons like this. Hubby built it for my dad's birthday and enjoyed the process. I think he said this was the easiest metal model he's done. And it's the first one he's done with a patterned material, which he, my dad and I thought was really cool. Overall, 2 happy dudes from this purchase.

I highly advise getting their mini tool kit or using something similar. This model has a lot of small parts and some broke while I was trying to take them off the sheet, but overall it came out good.I wouldn't recommend this one for beginners, however.

The metal is very thin and the bend lines weaken it further so the pieces break apart. Since there aren't any replacement parts the whole model was garbage when the first piece broke. Not worth the frustration.

It arrived kind of damaged from where the box stuck to the sheets, which pulled off some color. Not all of the slit holes were cut.Not my first build, and it only took me about half a day, but goodness this was frustrating. I think it’s the curved pieces that brought so many issues. But as others before me have said, there were so many TINY pieces and I had more pieces break than I have ever had before.Whoever designed this one didn’t think it entirely through. There were so many parts that got repeatedly bent during the build. Plus there were a lot of pieces where I couldn’t even reach them with my tweezers, yet I was supposed to secure them? The process itself had some spots where it definitely needed to be built in a different order.Ultimately it looks pretty good. I did enjoy it (mostly), but it was very frustrating. I ended up glueing, taping, and connecting “incorrectly” just so I could make it work.

This is only the 3rd gun I've done, first is a small, kindve hard, model of an AK-47, then theres the Beretta .50 Cal which was hard and fun, and now the best looking one! This looks excellent, goes well with rest of models and stands out as a good display piece. Few really small parts like the screw heads. Tweezer will be useful. I have pointy tweezers as well as flat nosed tweezers and they definitely came in handy for this model.

I’ve done quite a few metal earth sets, but this was my first with the color printed metal and I was very skeptical that it would scratch. I have to say that I was utterly amazed at how durable the paint was, it seemed to be even more durable than the non painted metal. What I ended up with was a very good looking little model. I think I’ll try the Wild West carriage next.
