Goodwill Hunter (whom I’ve interview on the blog previously) has created yet another fantastic custom Mega Bloks set. This time it’s the UNSC Infinity. And it’s a BEAUT!

In his own words here is GWH’s description of the custom build along with his pics.

I used the last 3 weeks and bloks from a variety of sets, including the Forward Unto Dawn, to put together a custom build of the UNSC Infinity from Halo 4. It was a challenging but satisfying build, and a lot of fun to work on. It comes in at just under 3 feet including the antennae. I like how it turned out, but would enjoy hearing what others think.

In terms of size, while the actual body of the Infinity build is longer than the FUD, the extra-long gun/antenna at the front of the FUD gives it the edge in overall length. 

I used the tall wall pieces from the High Ground set to build the bottom center of the ship, which is why it is much more bare of detail compared to the rest of the ship. I used decals to make up for that, including the 4 white/blue rectangles on each side that are supposed to represent the hangar bays. 

The “UNSC INFINITY” signage was just printed on a laser printer and attached with double-sided tape. I was surprised at how well it blends with the plastic. 

Regarding proportion, the two angled surfaces at the bottom front of the ship are a bit taller than I would have liked, but couldn’t find a way around that with the pieces I used for those parts….had to make a number of compromises in this build given the bloks I had available. And finally, the interior…just “raise the roof” and the “Spartan Lounge” is open all night!

I just hope that Cyan Spartan is paying attention as he reaches for his beer – one false move on Cortana and I’m sure the Chief will be willing to finish the fight!

I have to say this custom is beyond coolness. How and Why MEGA hasn’t hired him on, I don’t know. (Unless he really is a MEGA employee in disguise… Let the conspiracy begin, LOL.

Seriously, this is the best (and only) custom UNSC Infinity I’ve seen.  While slightly out of proportion, as he stated, for the bloks he had, it turned out GREAT! The only thing I’d like to see changed are the grates on the top front of the ship. If those would become solid tiles instead, that would just shoot it even further over the top. But that’s minor really. As a custom goes, you’d be hard pressed to beat his.

Great job!
