Master Chief is neither the most interesting nor my favorite character from the Halo universe, but he is lucky to have the honor of being sculpted in LEGO by Jack Marquez (Ewok in Disguise).
Though a bit foreshortened in this photo, the assault rifle is a nice build in its own right.
After three years of delays, the LEGO Halo video game finally has a confirmed release date of September 14, 2011. The release of this title may promise a launch of LEGO Halo sets in 2012, so get in your warthog Master Chief, it’s time to finish the fight.
While we’ve featured several Portal turrets in the past, this version by Will Page (Haystack Hair) is one of the most accurate Lego renditions and even features opening side panels for the guns. Now I really can’t wait for Portal 2 to come out.
We’ve featured two Lego Halo grunts in the past, but this one by Nathaniel Shields is perhaps the most accurate. The builder makes great use of Bionicle parts as well as a few System bricks for intricate small details.
If you’ve played Angry Birds as much as I have, you’ll love these renditions by Tsang Yiu Keung. The only thing missing is the Mighty Eagle, but I don’t want to pay an extra 99 cents anyways.

Ben Caulkins (Benny Brickster) created a faithful rendition of a gray version of Master Chief’s helmet from Halo. If you’re like me, you’d like to know if it’s wearable. Yes, it is.
Our occassional technic reviewer Peer Kreuger (mahjqa) doesn’t just know about technic, he’s a dab hand at building it. Drawing inspiration from the Metal Slug computer games and his own omniwheels he’s created the crazy remote controlled Metal Grudge. And to really take it to the next level he’s used camera cars to get action shots like the one above. Much more fun than a computer game.
Jerac has built some fantastic renditions of Warhammer 40K space marines. He’s built several marines, and given them a matching Landspeeder and Drednaught. I’m especially impressed with the way he came up with to render the trademark oversized space marine shoulder pauldrons.
Speaking of well-posed minifigs, 74louloute included lots of great details in this diorama inspired by the video game Red Dead Redemption
From the cow’s skull on the base to the miscreant kneeling on the roof, there’s a lot to love in this western scene.
I really dig this new starfighter model by Fredoichi. I really enjoy the color choices here, especially as they also correspond with a split between smooth curves and interesting texture. The ship looks perfectly sized, small enough to be able to hold in one hand and swoosh around, but big enough to hold a minifig. It doesn’t look like the inside of the cockpit has been detailed, which is a lost opportunity, but doesn’t take too much away from the rest of the craft.
It’s also the archetypal fighter from R-Type.
