I'm planning on building this craft. It's called a Pelican Dropship. Give me your thoughts.

Howdy MAR,

Here's an attempt at posting your middle pics...... http://www.bungie.net/images/games/Halo/screenshots/scrn_037.jpg

Hopefully this worked, since these middle three were left out......

EDIT: Good! It worked. I didn't have any idea if your provided addresses were any good or not.

Anyway....as has been said. Good Luck! I don't see much of a problem with about 1/2 of the exterior. But the compound curves are where your patience level is going to be challenged.

Tread.

What scale are you planning to "scratch" at?

Funny. I always thought that Halo dropship looked familiar.
It seems to be a close relative to the Aliens dropship, which is available at least in 1:72 scale.
Would it work as a basic construction for the Halo dropship?

Aliens dropship

Good luck on your project, sounds very interesting!

Cheers,
Toni
