It has been a while since the last time I was building the Halo sets, and because I had some spare time today, I jumped back into them, starting with one that I almost had complete.
I was disappointed because it is missing some pieces, but I went onto the Mega website today and ordered some parts for this, which appeared in other sets. This set is discontinued, so I can't have the parts ordered, so I was delighted to find a still active set from which I could order parts.
It's basically a launch pad, for one of the large ships I've got in the collection, and even though it's missing some pieces, it could still fetch a decent price, although, obviously not as much as it could if it was mostly complete.
Excuse the dust, I decided to get it together as much as I could, so I could identify what was missing, order the parts, and then deconstruct, and clean the entire thing, before rebuilding it for photographing.
Here are the consoles, intact.
The piece that was missing was this small two by 1 block that connects the other side of the satellite to the base itself, and I wasn't able to find it.
It's funny when things like that happen, it's like as you stop searching for something, you find it.
The set is mostly complete, all its missing now are fairly common pieces, which I'll hopefully be able to get in the post soon.
Two Spartans, two Marines, and two officers. They're fairly cool looking, and there are also some spare armour pieces for the Spartans included, just in case you want to swap out their arms, and helmet.
I'm delighted to have this finished now, I've packed it into a box on its own, and it takes up the entire thing. It's better than having it laying around, but it is fairly bulky so I'm looking forward to selling it. Until then though, it can grace my office and take up a bunch of space.
