Metal Earth double bass

Hey Mark... I can't tell you how many times I almost bought one of the Metal Earth models. They look like a fun and easy build. That fiddle looks pretty dang cool. You have inspired me to buy one sometime.

PS: I wish I learned how to play a fiddle. I once told a coworker that I wished I had learned to play the banjo. She laughed histerically. I don't know why. 

Love it. My daughter played the bass in high school and college orchestras and still does on weekends in a wedding band. I may give this a try as a birthday present for her. Thanks for posting.

I really want to try one of these. There are so many now I can't decide which one.

Thanks for the responses guys.  I enjoyed the build.  It was a bit tedious because I was trying not to smash it.  You really have to have a light touch.  That was nervewracking because I was building it for someone.  I'll build one for me next.  I'm thinking the Enterprise 1701-D.  Then I will tackle the dragonfly I got for my wife.  I don't think I'm ready for that one next.  It is quite delicate.  

I got mine from ebay.  I have not seen the bass or the dragonfly in any stores.  There is a HUGE variety of these models there.  Just pick one and go for it.  I'd like to see what you guys choose.

First...OP...that' really Cool! I may just have to pick one UP!

Bakster.....just do it!  Learn the fiddle!  I am gonna be. 40 this year, and I just picked one up from amazon for 70 bucks.  I figure, for that much, if I only stick with it for a year, I got my money's worth out of it....I got the MVH300, it has really good reviews, and so far, I have learned Ode to Joy and Ashokan Farewell....

Hi:

 Do you have a Hobby Lobby near you .If so go to the model section .You should find many Metal Earth kits .Right now I just finished the " Cat " road Grader and the Excavator .Very neat but you have to be careful ! 

 Interesting stuff .Where's the plastic companies on stuff like this ?
