Before I show the BIG custom from the Countdown set, I wanted to show these smaller custom builds.

The first is a Forerunner structure made with the parts from the Halo 4 Warthog set (as previously reviewed here)

Here’s what I made:

All sides are even. The bottom is the only part that isn’t even from all four sides.

Next is a little UNSC workbench made from the left over green pieces from the same set as above.

Again, nothing super spectacular, but then you’d think the UNSC needs workbenches somewhere, right?

Lastly, I call this a small Diagonostic Center. Use it for running tests on vehicles, Kind of like one that would be used on your car when you take it in for an inspection. Afterall, the UNSC has to keep their vehicles in tip-top shape! The parts for this were used from a couple of sets. Countdown and Cauldron Clash are two of those sets whose left-over pieces where used to make this.

Continuing on with the recent Custom craze, I decided to make something new from the “Countdown” set. (Previously reviewed here.)

This is a two parter. In this part I took all of the green bloks (with a few exceptions) and made a small but strong looking Lookout Tower. There’s a room underneath, a set of steps and of course the actual area to lookout from. This was an easy build and while not “exciting,” I think it fits the role I wanted it for.

Here’s what I got:

As you can see I used a few of the grating pieces s well.

Orthogonal views:

Rather than leave the spaces empty near the top, I decided to fill them in with the clear and trans-red 1×1 round plates. They serve no purpose really other than for me not to lose those parts, LOL.

Finally here’s a top down view. (Sorry for the fuzziness) This shows the grating pieces used and that there is a small “step-up” within the top of the tower.

Again, nothing but parts from the Countdown set was used.

Simple, I know. So what do you think of it? I think it makes a good counter to the Covenant one.
