Hello folks. I came across this custom on one of the Mega Bloks fan forums (apologies I can’t remember which one, ATM). It’s done by GoodWillHunter, of whom I interviewed here on the blog previously.
This is his take on a scarab in miniature form, ala the new line of Halo mini Mega Bloks coming to stores soon.
Here he uses a Halo mini fig for scale. So as you can see, it is indeed an even smaller version of a scarab and not to scale with the minifigs themselves.
Here’s the side view. I love that he made use of the new style joint system. That was first introduce with the Mantis set (which I reviewed here).
GWH (as we sometimes call him), even incorporated a detachable back piece to show the Scarab’s vulnerable core. That’s EXCELLENT detail!
And lastly, the pic below shows the mini Scarab with GWH’s other custom Scarab, that one to scale with the minifigs.
I tell you, Mega Bloks really needs to hire this guy. His designs are awesome and inspiring!
Oh and just incase you want to see yet more of his mini Scarab, here’s his video of it!
Great stuff!
