So over the past week I was a bit bored. During that time, I took to customizing some Mega Bloks sets that I had into something else. This was one of them. Originally this set was the Cauldron Clash (as previously reviewed here).
I’ve been wanting sets from the UNSC Infinity and took it upon myself to see if I could make a vehicle bay.
One thing to note, with this set as with other customs I’ve done, I take care to use ONLY pieces from one set. This way there is no need to buy additional sets to make something else. It also makes it easier if YOU want to recreate the same or similar custom, knowing you can do it from one set. (I’ll be posting a few other customs today and tomorrow, so bear this in mind.)
I used nearly all the pieces with exception to the translucent orange and red pieces and the terrain baseplates.
Here’s what I came up with (bearing in mind that accuracy was not the total goal, just something close enough and to have fun making a custom).
There is room for normal figures in the control room near top right.
Here’s a look at the custom build from orthogonal views: Note those black sloped pieces. They of course can be removed. However, I have them there to keep a Warthog in place as seen below:Those bloks are sturdy enough to keep the warthog still. So if you wanted to display it that way you could without much worry of bumping the set and the hog rolling off.
Also pictured to the right is the underside of this custom. Of course I’d rather have had one big baseplate, but you build with what you have.
So what do you think? I like it. Compact enough to display, yet enough detail, especially on the “walls.”

Really cool custom vehicle bay, I’m right with you when you say that you would like some official Infinity themed sets. I think they’d be a huge success. But great work using what you have. Love the resourcefulness.
Yep, i agree.
Very nicely done, especially for using only one set for it.
