There’s a full length build video on the channel showing the entire creation if you’re interesting, and a second video whee I transform it into a tarmac version. 😁

Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback. It’s always great to hear a video has come across as intended, easier said than done 😊

😂thank you. I’ve scaled it to match the 2016 Signature series Halo 5 Spirit Dropship produced by Mega Bloks.

@brickman1175 Yeah, that's what I thought too, just wanted to confirm it 👍

Thank you, so far part 5 is definitely benefitting from the ground work done here. Once again, it’s a challenge but every step forward is bringing it one step closer to completion.

I can only imagine, it must have been an amazing gift to an 8 or 9 year old (assuming you were given it when it first released).

@ yup it couldn’t have been more than a year or two after. I think I was around 8-10. It was an amazing gift and build experience.

🤢

This is why I love the comments section and always read every one, I had no idea. I just Googled it and sure enough Wikipedia confirms it, a term coined by George Lucas in the 70s to describe small parts added to a model as detail elements. Thank you, every day’s a school day 😁

@brickman1175 If you want some other cool examples of greebling, the Destiny games are a treasure trove

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.

Fair comment, it might look different to you once the tail has been created. This will lengthen the ship which by rights should make it look narrower to the eye.

I think it looks good. Once the middle is finished, I think you might change your mind

@ @redystudios7443 yea Im aok with waiting till its done to see how it turns out and its stellar so far, but the shot were he put the sides together seemed awkward. excited to see whats next

Thanks, it’s amazing how a few subtle differences can make a big difference. Don’t be fooled by the video, that was hours of trying different builds and techniques before settling on what you see in the video 😁. Well worth the time though.

@ I can only imagine how longggg but fun and also frustrating trying to get even one small tiny detail that no one else may notice to work that just helps it that much more

Thank you 😂

If you can afford the set I believe they are still available on Amazon. Lots of great figures in the set.

@brickman1175 thanks man, hope you have a wonderful day or night

Don’t think me sad but it’s the highlight of my week too, seeing the response from everyone following along with the build is what encourages me to go the extra mile with it 😊. Glad you're enjoying it, I think the next part will be even better!

Thanks for the support, believe it or not I’ve made a number of small detailing changes in this part of the build. I actually filmed them for this part of the build but figured I’d save them a later video, probably once it’s complete. They are only minor changes but they were definitely worth changing😄

Thanks, I’m loving how it's coming together.

That’s great, you make some great customs, I’m pleased to hear I have inspired some reckless spending in the name of the Covenant 😂

Thanks, I really appreciate it, I'm glad you're enjoying it. If you liked this, Part 5 is going to blow your mind 😊

Thank you, I can almost guarantee you will see this used for something along those lines once the build series is complete 😁

I feel the same way 😂

A good suggestion, thank you.

Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for the support!

Much appreciated, glad you think so!

😂😂😂

So far I have opened 30 Havoc staff sets and 8 cyber trucks, I already know I’m going to need to open at least another 6 cyber trucks and 4 havoc staffs for the work being done for part 5. She’s a hungry build😂

@@brickman1175 uff, that is beyond what I expected.... so you have many parts floating around....

Thank you, no instructions I’m afraid. Without a feasible way for people to purchase the parts they need instructions would be useless.

Thank you, really glad to hear you like the build. Part 5 is coming along nicely.

One day Chris, there is going to be a Museum for either Halo or Mega Halo or maybe even both. And there will be constant requests to display everything you build.

Thank you, I’m really pleased you decided to leave this comment. As happy as I am with the build so far I am slightly frustrated by my inability to just stick to one version of the spirit. At one point I started having doubts about my decision to just build it ‘my way’ as I feel guilty for not being true to one version of the ship, but then I remind myself it’s just for fun and it doesn’t really matter. I’ll leave the being true to source material problems to MEGA when they hopefully one day give us an official one.

I wish Brick Link hadn't been bought by LEGO so that they could have branched out to doing MEGA as well.

hmm... a mecabricks-like site for megablocks, that could be cool

Same here!

This bro, this omg i wish they had their own version

I’ve always said this is what holds MEGA back from playing on the same field as LEGO. Without a way for people to easily purchase pieces to create custom builds from they will never expand to a larger audience. The custom Lego building community is what inspires 1000s of young children to join the LEGO community, they then grow into the future community. MEGA has no real entry level community to draw children to the brand, yes they have Pokémon but outside of building the set there is no real community for them to stream into.

Thanks, I’ve been experiencing the same thing with the cockpit creation so you’ll probably have similar doubts through part 5. I’m hoping once it’s complete it will all look correct 😁

Thanks! It’s getting there, slowly but surely 😁

Thanks for the feedback, I too was more of a Lego guy until I was introduced to MEGA Halo back in 2010 by way of a Christmas present from my wife. I’d never heard of MEGA prior to this but as a life long HALO nut she I’d like some Halo ‘Lego’ so she got me the 2010 arctic rocket hog set as a gift. You can see what that triggered 😂, she may regret giving me that Warthog in hindsight 😁.

@ I did notice on your shelf of boxes there looked to be a buildable MC figure, do you have more details on that or a video? It looks awesome!

@@SeanM132 it’s a great set,pretty expensive though unfortunately as it’s a good few years old now. Here’s my review on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZSsoYWbi7VmkKssi=Xr9cXlan-1D8HU-w I also used these sets to create Transformer style Mechs by combining them with vehicle sets from the Halo line. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2a1ip5vptt_j9Esi=19WSm5r5DtEBfTgx I made 6 or 7 of these over the course of a year, they were very popular.

That’s great to hear, I can’t remember the last time I saw one for sale NIB. Enjoy.

Glad you like it! I’m really happy with how it turned out 👍

It’s a shame they will likely never build UNSC weapons due to the realism issues as they lend themselves better to a brick built system than the covenant weapons styling does. At some point I’ll creat the CE Magnum and an Assault Rifle.
