Blade Runner 2049 - Has anyone built K's Spinner from Metal Earth?

[drusselmeyer]

I have yet to see any of these built except for the package pictures. Has anyone else here built this model??

Seems to be the one that came free with the blu ray (Target??) I've got one but haven't attempted to build it.

It was a Walmart exclusive that seems to have escaped the attention of many fans.

It is also in an additional scale to the previous K Spinners. This one is approximately 1/48 - 1/43 scale.

Interesting...when did Walmart sell this?

 

[drusselmeyer]

It came out shortly after the film's release.

I actually imported one when the blu-ray came out. When I saw how small and fiddly looking the spinner was, I just thought,'Nah!'

I guess now would probably be the ideal time to try building it....

I have one mostly complete and it was quite a challenge so far. There is a video or two on YouTube showing some of the process for building these kinds of kits.

I jumped into it without really realizing the challenge.

The kit us pretty close to the shape of the actual car and can be built pretty accurately with some liberties taken to compensate for the material.

This first one had some breakage, so I plan to build a second with more care.

With support from Fascinations Inc customer support, I was able to complete the model despite broken parts.

A few quick pictures:

 

[drusselmeyer]

The figure is 1/48 scale. The spinner appears to be about 1/72 scale.

looks cool.

 

[drusselmeyer]

Thanks. Better pictures later when I can get back to it.

Looking good.
