The base I have built is based partly around the concept art for the Highground map of Halo 3, Halo Wars base design, and Halo: Reach concept art.<\/span><\/p>\n The base fills a table that is three feet by five feet. It is covered by laminate that looks like granite that I got from work after they no longer needed it. I think it worked well as asphalt.<\/span><\/p>\n At a rough guess, the base ate 6 sets of Highgrounds, 2 Pelicans, 2 ‘Hawks, 2 Flood Sieges, 6 Banshee Blitz and 4 Countdowns. It is still a work in progress.<\/span><\/p>\n HFFL:<\/strong><\/span> That’s a ton of sets used for this. ANd it’s a GREAT repurposing of them, IMO!<\/p>\n The pad that the Pelican is being serviced on is not actually a landing pad, but a heavy freight elevator. The elevator will lead to the underground portion of the base, which still requires a structure, which I hope to have in place by the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n The roof of the command centre lifts off to expose the inside containing a large holo table, and nerve centre.<\/span><\/p>\n HFFL:<\/strong><\/span> This is TOO COOL! I love that Dielectric took the time to make a removable roof AND used blue translucent figures as holo table images. PURE Awesomeness!<\/p>\n Finally, a ground of technicians scramble around a Pelican Gunship to make sure it is ready for its next mission. Weapon drop pods are attached to the tail for rapid re-armourment.<\/span><\/p>\n HFFL:<\/strong> <\/span>I have to admit, I’m jealous of the amount of UNSC Technicians (the guys in light grey in the above pic) he has… I hope Mega Bloks uses that figure more often. I’d love to build up a couple of squads of them.<\/p>\n You can view these in even HIGHER detail\/resolution by dropping by Dielectric’s Photobucket page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n While I do have many of the sets he has, I wasn’t fortunately enough to get more than one High Ground set or Countdown. Mega Bloks had toyed (pun intended) with the idea of making a UNSC Firebase a couple of years back. I hope the pics of this inspire them to bring their idea back to the drawing board and hopefully release a set like this. Maybe not so big (too keep it affordable).<\/p>\n -Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is another custom made by fellow Halo Mega Bloks fan, Dielectric. It’s a massive UNSC Base! Take the time to look at all the detail, the kinds of figures (and how many of them there are), and so on. … Continue reading ![\"041-small\"](\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/041-small.jpg\")
