We’re pleased to welcome Metal Earth to the Gaugemaster range, bringing an exciting new style of model building to our shelves .
Metal Earth takes model construction in a different direction, transforming precision-cut metal sheets into remarkably detailed 3D display models. With no glue required, each component is carefully removed from the sheet before being folded, shaped and connected to gradually bring the finished model to life. There is an incredible variety of subjects to discover too. Aviation enthusiasts can recreate famous aircraft including the Spitfire, Lancaster Bomber and SR-71 Blackbird, while the wider collection ventures into military vehicles, iconic landmarks and the fascinating world of space exploration. Licensed ranges also bring familiar subjects from Star Wars, Doctor Who and Harry Potter to the workbench.
From the Apollo Lunar Module and Mars Rover to the James Webb Space Telescope, Metal Earth offers plenty for modellers looking to try something a little different. With kits spanning different levels of complexity, there are projects to suit newcomers to metal modelling as well as those looking for a more intricate challenge.
Metal Earth is available from Gaugemaster now, so read on as we take a closer look at the range and what these distinctive metal construction kits have to offer.
Legendary Aircraft
Take to the skies with Metal Earth and recreate some of the most recognisable aircraft from aviation history. The range spans different eras and roles, from the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, Lancaster Bomber, B-17 Flying Fortress and P-51D Mustang to modern and technological icons including the F-14 Tomcat, F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II and SR-71 Blackbird. There are larger aircraft to tackle too, including the C-130 Hercules, while the Tiger Moth, Apache and Chinook add even more variety to the collection. With each aircraft taking shape from precision-cut sheets of metal, these kits offer aviation enthusiasts a distinctive way to build and display some truly iconic machines.
The Race for Space
Reach for the stars with Metal Earth and celebrate some of the machines that have helped us explore beyond our world. Recreate milestones of the Apollo programme with the Apollo Lunar Module and Apollo Command/Service Module with Lunar Module, venture across the surface of Mars with the Mars Rover and InSight Mars Lander, or look deeper into the universe with the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope. From lunar exploration to studying the furthest reaches of space, these detailed metal construction kits bring some of humanity’s most fascinating achievements in space exploration to the modelling bench.
Star Wars
The Force is strong with the Metal Earth range, with some of the most recognisable characters, spacecraft and machines from the Star Wars galaxy ready to build. Take on the legendary Millennium Falcon or X-Wing Fighter, assemble the imposing AT-AT, or construct the ultimate symbol of Imperial power with the Death Star. Favourite droids are represented too, with R2-D2 and a striking gold C-3PO completing the line-up. Each kit transforms precision-cut metal sheets into a detailed 3D display model, offering Star Wars fans a rewarding way to build their own little piece of a galaxy far, far away.
Doctor Who
Travel through time and space with Metal Earth and recreate two unmistakable icons from the world of Doctor Who. Build the Doctor’s legendary TARDIS, complete with its familiar police box appearance, or face one of the universe’s most feared enemies with the Dalek construction kit. Made from precision-cut metal sheets and assembled into detailed 3D models, these kits offer Whovians a different way to celebrate the long-running series, with finished models that are perfect for displaying once your adventure in metal modelling is complete.
Harry Potter
Bring the magic of Harry Potter to your workbench with Metal Earth’s collection of intricately detailed Wizarding World construction kits. Recreate the legendary Hogwarts Express, capture the elusive Golden Snitch, or take on the fearsome Gringotts Dragon, all transformed into impressive 3D metal display models. With familiar subjects from the films combined with Metal Earth’s distinctive construction style, these kits offer Harry Potter fans a magical modelling challenge and a finished piece worthy of any collection.
