GIANT HALO 3 DIORAMA

Excuse me -GASP- did you say those figs are 1/12 scale!

Good grief!! The final results are amazing....

 No, I don't play Halo or X Box, but I do admire the dio!!! 

I agree the figures are pretty realistic. Very well sculpted and painted.

Unfortunately I dont have a 360 or else I would play. And right now all my money is going towards a new body because my bass guitar hit the deck. So Im broke, maybe boxing week Ill get one though.

Sweet stuff guys, ya post whatever you want thats what this thread is for. No point in starting seperate threads really. I cleaned up my original post too.

Anyone else watch the "making of" video?

I made a widescreen wallpaper out of that last image.  I had to run some filters on it to reduce the graininess. When you view it, make sure it's not being reduced to fit your browser. Here it is:

  Hey guys, not out to steal Deputy_Brads post, but i thought i would post somes pics of the diorama. Hope you don't mind DB.

  If you think some of these pics are good, do yourself a favour and go to the website that was in DB's original post. Keep in mind this diorama is huge. The marines in this dio are somewhere around 1/12 scale!!!

  Enjoy.........

Pics? Click the link and enter birthdate and stuff and go to the picture of master chiefs head, it looks like a model figure. Then follow that and its like a walkthrough of the dio, pretty cool stuff. To get a better look though check out some of the movies along the way or at the bottom of the screen.

What about Pac-Man but that wouldn't make much of a diorama.

The pics didn't come up, have they been taken down?

Semper Fi,

The scale looks to be about 6-12" figures I dunno. Based on the little movies at the bottom (making of, really interesting) it looks larger than 6 and smaller than 12 though. I started my own diorama and while its not Halo themed it is fairly sci-fi. I am using some modern German Panzergrenadiers from Revell and setting them in an urban environment similar to the one in the Halo dio. I think Ill paint them an urban or dull drab camo though instead of the BW flecktarn.

BTW I am SUPER tired. Turns out my friend has a 360 and Halo 3. We've been playing the first third of the game for the last 4 hours tonight. Video games really do turn your brain to mush lol. It's 2:15 am and I am ready to hit the sack. 

P.S. Boomer you are absolutely right. BTW its not really a trilogy if you count Halo Wars (Command and Conquer, Halo style)

  That is a cool dio. I am inspired to do a sci-fi one i have had in mind for a while now. The thing i like about sci-fi is that your imagination is the limit. You can build whatever you want and nobody can tell you it is wrong!!....

Lol I know what you mean. I just cant bring myself to spending $600 right now, saving for a vehicle.

More on topic about my original post though, that diorama is pretty spectacular. The smoke effects and just the scale of it are something. Also the explosive fire and just the feeling that the whole battle was paused for a second. The faces of the human soldiers are very convincing and well portrayed. The diorama is easier to view maybe for some if you watch the video at the bottom menu links. There are a few videos and even a "making-of" video showing some progress of the dio.

Sorry Im still really stoked on this combination of two favourite things of mine PLUS THE RELEASE OF HALO 3!!!!!!!
