Metal EarthPremium Series Artemis Moon Rocket 3D Metal Model Kit Fascinations

Excelente producto.

Really enjoyed building this one! Getting the curves right is tough and joining the rounded sections is challenging, but I’m happy with the result.

I've done numerous Metal Earth models without issue. This is by far the most difficult one I've attempted. It took me over two and a half hours to get past the first page and the only thing I had to show for it was some poorly assembled boosters and a broken nose cone for the capsule escape system. I continued with the main fuselage after taking a break. Upon trying to connect the boosters to the fuselage, one of the connecting tabs broke off due to fatigue. The pieces are precut so that they're easier to bend, but unfortunately this also leads to some of the parts breaking because there isn't enough material holding them together. I called it quits and threw the whole thing in the trash. Definitely not for kids or beginners. Not even really well designed for someone who has a lot of experience. I do a lot of work with my hands and am generally careful with these types of things, but sometimes you just can't be careful enough, especially when it only takes one or two bends to break something.

My son has been building these for years. I ordered this. It came as described.

Was alot of fun and challenging.

Agree with Brandon’s review, which I didn’t see until after purchasing this. This is a poorly designed model. The parts meant for bending into shapes like the nose cone are fragile and easily break. Some of the tab connections in the instructions are next to impossible without deforming the parts (e.g. exhaust to the booster section). I’d never built any metal earth models prior, so inexperience might be a factor. I was just looking for a fun Artemis model. Should have just bought the lego one despite the ridiculous price since this one is likely headed for the trash. Hope the real Artemis isn’t plagued with as many issues…

Buy two kits, you will need them. Very difficult to assemble in several places and several pieces that need forming are very small. The second kit will provide the spare parts needed when you destroy several of the parts from the first kit. The gentry goes together without too much difficulty it is the two rockets the install on either side of the main rocket that are difficult especially in the tail of the rocket. Too bad it would be a nice kit otherwise.
