The Story Behind DiyMetalModel

Our Design Inspiration

"If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done."
– Thomas Jefferson

Welcome to DiyMetalModel, where innovation meets imagination, and your hands bring dreams to life. We offer experiences beyond the ordinary, sparking joy and creativity through unique metal model kits that combine art and engineering.

Who Are We?

Founded in 2020 as a metal welding company, we’ve always taken a different path. Rather than focusing on traditional welding projects, we specialized in creating intricate metal handicrafts—pieces that captured the majesty of animals like horses, wasps, lions, chameleons, and whales. By turning scrap metal parts into beautiful works of art, we not only repurposed materials but also brought a sense of wonder to everyday life.

Then, in 2021, our lead designer, Jimoc, had a revelation: why stop at welding? Why not take these creations, break them down into individual parts, and allow people to experience the joy of building them themselves? That’s when the idea for DiyMetalModel was born—a company dedicated to offering DIY metal model kits for all ages. Now, anyone can enjoy the satisfaction of assembling their own mechanical marvels, whether they’re adults or children.

Bringing Nature’s Wonders to Life

At DiyMetalModel, we draw inspiration from the beauty and complexity of nature, transforming these elements into mechanical masterpieces that move and fascinate. Each model we create tells a story—one of elegance, uniqueness, and character. Our goal is to breathe life into these models, turning metal into a living piece of art that stands out from the ordinary.

In a world where everything is becoming sleek, minimalist, and indistinguishable, we believe in making something with a soul. Our models are more than just functional—they are distinct, eye-catching, and filled with personality. They remind us that art and technology can coexist, creating something truly memorable.

A New Approach to Creativity

While the modern world may celebrate smooth, flawless designs, at DiyMetalModel, we celebrate character. Our creations aren't just tools or toys; they are expressions of art and craftsmanship. Each part, each piece, carries a unique identity, making every model a personal work of art.

Crafting Memories, One Part at a Time

We manufacture nearly 30,000 parts every day, adding up to around 900,000 parts each month to meet the growing demand for our metal models. Some parts are specially electroplated to achieve unique colors and finishes, ensuring that every model is not just beautiful but durable and long-lasting.

Our Mission

Our mission is to repurpose discarded metal parts, turning them into intricate metal artworks that spark creativity and connection. In a world dominated by smartphones, we aim to bring families closer together through the joy of hands-on assembly. Our DIY kits encourage problem-solving, concentration, and quality time spent away from screens.

Looking for the perfect gift? Our metal models are an excellent choice for friends, family, or anyone who loves a challenge. These models are more than just toys; they’re keepsakes, building memories that last a lifetime.
