Lego Halo Pelican Dropship

Here it finally is! My Pelican dropship. It's mostly based on Blur's render of the Pelican in Halo 2 Anniversary.

 

Features:

It can carry 10 passengers and 2 pilots.

 

It can open up to easily access the cockpit and troop bay.

 

The back door can open as well.

 

It can carry a Warthog, a Wolverine or any other small vehicles or 6 weapon pods . Sadly the scorpion is to heavy.

 

The front wheel can fold in and does suport the weight thanks to the front "support legs" that is connected with gears to the wheel.

 

The back "legs" can also fold down but they does not suport the weight of the craft. Instead separated suport legs that can fold in does the job.

 

The wings and back thrusters can rotate.

 

Front weapon can be adjust.

 

This has been a challenging build and my biggest so far. The bigest challenges was to get the wings to rotate in a good way and don't fall off. Another challenges was to get the front wheel to support the weight. The third and last big challenges I had to overcome was the fact that the only half of the ship is able to have contact with the ground while the other, much heavier part, is mostly free hanging. All these problems really changed the way I hade to build the whole thing. The way I manage to have to back being sturdy connected to the front may not be so special but the one that can guess how I overcame the weight problem will get a cookie.

 

And as a last little note: Yes, you can swoosh it around.

 

Hope you like it!
