Detroitika - Tanner Jon A.
The Covenant | Visegrad, Reach 2552
~ 6/7/16 GUYS NOTES ARE BACK ON FLICKR ~
These are all the 3rd or 4th redesigns of previous versions, and I apologize for this being my third picture to use the Afghanistan backdrop build. I tried to convert it to a Reach - look.
There is 1 modified piece in the Elite Ultra's head. It's a minifig hand with the wrist completely removed, but it's helped by the facts that 1) I had already sacrificed it for a completely different purpose, trying to create an angled hand, and 2) it's only a yellow Collectable Minifigure lower-grade plastic hand. I considered painting the dark red designs on the Elite, but I didn't want to blatantly ruin the near-purity of the design with paint.
Credit goes to Nick Brick from 5 years ago for the idea to use a droid arm as a Jackal head. How times have changed.
With the fourth grunt I've made, I finally came up with my own head design. The last version (link) used a modified head by Benny Brickster, may his photostream rest peacefully and famously in inactivity. Mine follows the same basic idea, but with smaller parts and a gas mask from MinifigCat.
It has been 4 years, 11 months, and 25 days since I uploaded my "Grunt V1" to Flickr, kicking off my Halo career with an astounding 8 favorites. 16 days later came my "Jackal V1," an abomination of U-clips and battle droid parts to join everybody else's on Flickr at that time. In January 2012 I posted my first Elite Ultra. Generally, people wait to say things like this until they do some milestone photo of followers or of years on this site, but I want to extend my warm thanks to you all to have brought me so far from those early uploads. I am quite happy that the majority of the FOLs I get to interact with are awesome to each other online and have been for a long time. It's been quite a ride with you guys, though many, many good amigos have dropped out over the years, but I won't leave anytime soon.
