I’ve partially done that one before. I only did the tower. Once I started in the rocket it started looking pretty bad so I just stopped. These little metal model things are cool but they suck with curved shapes. It’s impossible to curve them correctly given the amount of effort I’m willing to put in. I’m sure there are people more into them who can do it better.

I can appreciate the amount of work you put in, but TBH, if that thing flew, it would be subject to RUD – rapid unscheduled disassembly.

I bet you’d immediately get better if you saw the salary that comes with the job.

I love Metal Earth! Their models are so fun to build, but they can be tricky. I’ve done a Hubble Space Telescope and the Enterprise D, as well as the dragon (not space related). I used needle nose pliers, so curving the pieces wasn’t so much trouble. Those sets don’t have so many cylindrical parts meant to line up perfectly though. My attempt would probably come out similarly.

I’ve got tons of Metal Earth models. They rule. Hardest one for me was the lunar module.

At least it’s pointy, as rockets should be according to a certain dictator.
