Halo: Pelican Dropship

I was going through the thread enjoying all the details, and then the "all together" shot at the end plus the quoted size - wow. Looks accurate too!

Wow! You could well turn me into a gamer with this. Halo always had cool costumes but I've not seen a lot of the vehicles. Their awesome.
 
Just saw thread and I must say it's totally cool. I'm a huge fan of Halo and every photo of your Pelican echoes the background music in my head. :D I'll follow along for sure ;)

Oh absolutely! VFR did a fantastic job on the file. it's coming together very nicely. remember my comment on your build about the lights? this is why...:) hope i do justice to this. I have a long way to go to get the finish many achieve here on their builds, but i'm still learning. Thanks for looking :)

I personally have played Halo 1 and 2 but i'm a fan. The vehicles are quite unique. Unfortunately console and monetary restrictions have prevented me from finishing the fight, so to speak. Thanks for stopping by :)

Haha yes. Though not a very good one. I have the other helmet as well. It is fiberglassed and ready though i haven't found the energy to start the sanding process. Thanks for stopping by. Glad you like it :)
 
Thank you! Yes i'm a convert. I love the sheer size of this beast. Only problem is now where the hell do i put it....

I know how you feel my ship turned Out bigger then it should 90cm without the engines so Will be around 100cm before i'm done with it
 
Wow!
It's a great project and a great scratchbuilding. I like it a lot.

This is the coolest pelican build i have seen yet, my hats off to you sir,

-Mike

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys. means a lot :)

got some more images for you folks. I haven't progressed Just trying to figure out the next step. Life is getting in the way and i fear i may have to put this project on hold again. Maybe indefinitely. We'll see.

Meanwhile, i decided to tackle the panel lines. I was aiming to learn inkscape anyway and this was a good opportunity. The idea is that i would draw the panel lines, blow up the images, place them on the pelican and trace them out. So i know exactly which panel line goes where.

As you can see, it's still a WIP. Thanks for stopping by :)
 
Sweet pelican, I've been looking for a pelican to build n hang in my son's bedroom and the only 1 I've found had no instructions :(.
i would happily build your model if it was available to download :thumbsup

Hey thanks! But it's not my model. And on how to get it? Just ask user VFR, or the guy right above your comment. ;) He's the creator of this awesome model. Good luck!


Amazing stuff, Strode!!! (y) (y) (y)

Thanks Crackerjazz! But you humble me sir. Your work is just out of this world. Thanks for looking!


I do have some progress but nothing to write home about. I spent an ungodly amount of time fiber-glassing everything. That was a nightmare but the ship is now nicely solid and hollow. Then I spent more time filling in all the huge gaps and cuts all along the body work with putty and sanding those down, then using a LOT of filler to hide the sanding which led to more sanding. I primered everything just to take stock of where I stand and, as can be expected, there's still a lot left to do. I don't really feel like working on this right now, what with a full time job and other small projects and learning 3D so maybe one day I'll get back to it.
