J4ke Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Mantis by Jake, on Flickr For the first time in maybe five(?) years, I've built a mech I'm very pleased with. This is the UNSC Mantis from Halo. "But it can't be from Halo", I hear you cry. "It has colour, that isn't grey, olive or mustard! What is this?!" Honestly, I have no idea. It's not in the game yet, but it's slated to be included in the next DLC. I saw the image in the Halo weekly update, and I decided I wanted it now. So I built it. Enjoy! And if you should happen to want one too... well, maybe you should check out the rest of the photostream. I don't normally do such in-depth breakdowns, but this is a fairly small model. (I'd have liked it to fit a fig, but the colour scheme on the roof demanded a SNOTted body, leaving me no room for interiors. I call this a fair compromise. More pictures here. Quote
LiLmeFromDaFuture Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Fantastic! Exceptional work especially on the pattern and color scheme—spot on for the most part! Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 A Mantis colored by Chris Foss? Love it! Halo could afford to use some more colors besides pink and purple. Your use of slopes for the shaping is ace. Thanks for the breakdown pics, BTW! Quote
