Metal Earth IconX - Peacock | DIY 3D Model Kit

Build a Stunning Steel Peacock — No Glue, No Solder, Pure Precision!

Bring one of nature’s most spectacular birds to life in gleaming, pre-painted steel with the Metal Earth IconX Painted Peacock 3D Model Kit. Three large sheets of premium laser-cut steel contain every intricate component needed to construct a magnificent peacock — tail fully fanned, feathers layered in high-gloss blues, greens, and gold — using nothing but tabs, slots, and steady hands.

This is not a quick snap-together toy. It’s a slow, deeply satisfying engineering challenge for teens and adults who love detail, precision, and the reward of creating something genuinely beautiful. When finished, your peacock stands as a striking metallic sculpture — a conversation piece worthy of any desk or shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is this kit suitable for?

The Metal Earth IconX Peacock is recommended for ages 14 and up due to the tiny components and delicate metal tabs. It’s ideal for teens, adult hobbyists, and anyone who enjoys detailed, methodical assembly projects.

Do I need glue or solder?

No — the pieces connect entirely through a tab-and-slot system. No glue, solder, or adhesives are needed. The workspace stays completely clean.

Are tools included?

Tools are not included, but a pair of fine tweezers or needle-nose pliers is strongly recommended for bending the tiny tabs neatly. Hobby snips are also useful for clipping parts cleanly from the sheet without warping the steel.

How long does it take to build?

Given the intricate layered tail plumage, expect 3 to 5 hours of patient, focused building. It’s a project best enjoyed over a relaxed session — not rushed.
