Continuing on with the recent Custom craze, I decided to make something new from the “Countdown” set. (Previously reviewed here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I got:<\/p>\n

\"UNSC<\/a>As you can see I used a few of the grating pieces s well.<\/p>\n

\"UNSC<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"UNSC<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Again, nothing but parts from the Countdown set was used.<\/p>\n

Simple, I know. So what do you think of it? I think it makes a good counter to the Covenant one.<\/p>\n
