Halo Megabloks Rhino

Kristen’s mom got me the Halo Megabloks Rhino tank for Christmas. Besides some missing pieces that I was able to get around my modifying the extra pieces that were in the box, building it went pretty smoothly.

Day one I was able to build the scenery that came with it, a nice Forerunner tower, though the tower portion is held to the base by the middle blue rod. It’s a shame it doesn’t spin like some of the maps on Halo 2 though.

Day two I got the wheels and a lot of the top of the tank completed.

Day three the top of the gun was completed as was a large portion of the body. I was disappointed that I had discovered a piece was missing, so I gave up for the night.

Day four I decided I was too close to finishing it to give up, so I finished what I could. I discovered that I was missing another piece. Once the Rhino was “complete” I had a lot of extra pieces leftover, so I made the missing pieces out of the spare parts I had.

Here it is all put together.

I have a Wraith that I will eventually start on. Some people might say 28 years old is too old to be building these things, but it is fun. Plus they make cool collectibles, and will go really nice with my Master Chief helmet once I get that displayed with them. Once the Wraith is together, I think I’d like to get a Warthog, an Elephant, and eventually the Forward Unto Dawn sets. Forward Unto Dawn is the biggest set and the most expensive, so thatwill be one of the last ones I get. I also doubt I have room for it right now.
