I came across a thread on a Halo Mega Bloks fan site that showed a Ragnaok diorama.
The following was made by “Scott ‘warmaster’ mckie“. From here, I’m going to let him use his own words as they were in the original thread.
Hi guys, i started this project for bloksfest2014. I never thought it would get to the size or quality that it turned out, its was massively liked at the show and won me first place in the diorama competition and won me a pelican set signed by mega themselves!
The build.
Time: 6 weeks
Weight: 45kg
Length: 5ft
Width: 2ft
Cost: around £100, £200+ inc figs.
So heres the start
I then added paint and details
HFFL: From here he doesn’t give any more text, so I’ll fill it in.
Above a close-up of ChiefA comparison of the diorama pelican scene with the actual scene from the in-game map.
Above shows the detailing of the ground very nicely.A very cool scene of a warthog being hit and taking damage.Some added firing effects on the Mantis.
This is a nicely done diorama using realistic element with Mega Bloks as well. Being a diorama builder myself, though it’s been some time, I can certainly appreciate the work and detail that went into this project.
So what do you folks think of this? Did you like the diorama? Do you like the mix of realistic and Mega Bloks? Would you have preferred it to be all realistic or all Mega Bloks?

I managed to get lucky and see this set in person and meet the builder, Very impressive build and a very nice piece of Diorama to add to his collection 🙂
Looks really nice! You can see the time and effort put into this. I think it would be even better if it was all Mega Bloks since it is a Halo Mega Bloks diorama but its probably easier, cheaper, and look arguably better to do it just like this.
