HFFL: Below are in fact the very same reference pics I used for my custom as well. Here are a few of the guide images I used as a reference: Once the overall length and width were set, it was just a matter of filling out the top and bottom in line with the guide images I used. HFFL: It’s funny that GWH mentions this as I’m working on a Covenant Super Cruiser (using only one Phantom) with the idea of using the head piece as the starting point. Similar to the Scarab build, the actual size of the Battlecruiser was determined in large part by the head piece from the Phantom. Getting your starting layer figured out makes the build much easier to complete.
HFFL: This is a great way to start a custom build. The roughly triangular grey plates from the Wraith were also key in completing the narrower part of the body as well as the rear propulsion pod. I started by creating the basic outline of the ship in grey plates, for which the quarter-circle plates from the AA set were essential. HFFL: I missed out on that sale or I’d have pounced on it! LOL The concept from the beginning was to stagger sets of curved bloks to approximate the organic look and feel of the Battlecruiser design…I think this approach was for the most part successful. Unlike Sal’s recent single-set build, 2 Phantoms and a pair of Covenant Anti-air sets ended up providing most of the bloks for this build, along with the usual mix of bits and pieces left over from previous builds. This idea to try this build popped into my head when the Phantom sets went on sale for $15 at Groupon a while back. I’ll interject comments along the way.Ĭovenant CCS-class Battlecruiser Custom Build Rather than me go on about this awesome build, I’ll let him tell you about it in his words. Unlike my creations which are done from one set of Mega Bloks only, GWH has the good fortune to be able to make his out of several sets. Once again Goodwill Hunter knocks it out of the park and creates a fantastic custom build out of Mega Bloks.
