When I first saw the thumbnail, I didn't think that this was made with Mega parts. This build is genuinely so flawless that it looks like a proper model kit!
The different shades of greenish gray of the various parts creates a wonderful gradient effect, it looks like real metal, like different plates fitted to each other.
I knew a darker green would make the Halo 3 style pelican look nicer, always thought the Pelican in 3 looked far too light. This thing is brilliant, absolutely love it.
The one thing I would love to see, and while its really not in the style of Mega or general MOCs, is getting a custom canopy 3D printed, Unless it can be brick built with appropriate transparent panels, I think it would look absolutely fire.
While I agree with you and think it could be/look cool, I think it’d take away from the spirit of moc building. I think most builders want to keep it all built and not printed bc it’s a testament to their creativity, keeping everything coherent and a fun challenge that they welcome
As someone coming to the end of a massive design project myself, I can truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into something like this. Keep up the good work, you have a great talent!
I have no words, this is truly one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in regards of the Halo Mega community. One of those videos you click the like button before even watching it. I know it would take an insane amount of time, pieces and maybe money, but please, consider making a Longsword.
When I was little I dreamed of someday having a Lego Pelican, one day ill buy either a set or a bunch of pieces and make my own one, absolutely amazing work!
Halo Infinite’s is also a pretty nice pelican design. Dude, seriously, this is insane. You’re like crazy talented, both in the building bits and the editing, cinematography, and everything in between.
Ah dude this is so awesome! I’ve been making my own halo reach pelican since last November, but it’s so incredible to see the halo 3 model in all it’s glory
What it's crazy is that you were able do build all this with so few Lego pieces, especially since the moment that there are no sites for Megaconstrux pieces like Bricklink for Lego pieces, I can't imagine the patience in collecting all those parts Really admiring at the beggining I thought it was a Revell kit or something like that Here you can really appreciate the quality of Megaconstrux pieces Mattel should invest more in it Extraordinary
Absolutely incredible, not only is that the most accurate pelican that I've seen, but it's the scale is literally perfect. Also until I watched this idk if I really grasped just how big they are, same length as an AC-130 is damn big
As a wise man once said "PELICAN AHHHHH" Though the Pelican is my favorite halo vehicle. I remmeber spending so much time looking for videos on how to be able to fly it as a kid on TH-cam. Especially halo 2, though, of course not possible without mods and me being a kid at the time not understanding what those were. I did also build one out of lego as a kid, but of course not as detailed as yours.
@@HaloReforger I remember making the cockpit in the halo 2 style, then played halo 3 right after and was mad at having to change it to the halo 3 style one ha ha. Of course this was before the halo wiki and the like really took off so cut scenes were the main references I used. Of course Outskirts was the main reference with all the shots inside. I also remember being annoyed at how the warthog is attached in game. The turret clipping into the fuselage, or how the scorpion clips into the troop bay doors a bit. Though Halo Legends showing how the scorpion carried backwards made more sense realistically. Though for the warthog, I could see it being transported without the turret in most cases and then having to attach the turret on the ground. Though of course that has it own host of issues.
I clicked on the video thumbnail expecting something mid, and I was ready to skip and close the video... but was very glad to watch the whole thing The model itself is exceptionally good, but the video editing is also top
This is the second ultimate pelican that has existed, brickman 117 had a large one as well, I can’t remember if it scared with the figures though. I love how smooth it looks, so sleek. With just a few exposed studs to remind you that it was built brick by brick
I am so jealous and so down bad for such a gorgeous MOC, you're the best and I'm so happy you shared this video with all of us and I wouldn't mind a long video, either. Such a project deserves that kind of time.
Simply amazing. The Pelican has always been my favorite Halo vehicle and I so badly want to make a true figure scale Pelican of my own one day. Your mocs inspire me to rebuild and do my best version of the few vehicles I have! Love your work so much.
I 3D printed a bunch of different types of pelicans I gave a nice makeover in blender and some nice paint jobs. One occupies every table in my house. At the end of every work week I load up extinction just to fly the CE pelican around, it flies the smoothest out of all the others in every game.
I made a figure scale lego moc of the pelican back in 2021 and this video has inspired me to try again maybe with digital tools this time. I love how faithful every small detail of your moc is. Makes it truly magical when viewing from behind and below.
I’m not sure entirely how it would be done, but if you still wanted some “glass” for the canopy piece, I would suggest some clear plastic like from packaging and some light adhesive, something not too permanent and easy to clean up if removed. I really love this. As you already know, we have our differences in art style choices, but you do very much help me appreciate more and more Halo art and models along with the upscaling from MCC. Great job!
Your builds look so beautiful and achieve that nostalgic look that’s just so awe inspiring! When I see these builds, it takes me back to the golden days of halo 3 and being a careless teen. You legitimately inspire me to start moc building, but Idk where or how to amass so many mega pieces or any techniques that you utilize. Would you ever consider doing some videos that teach the techniques you use and how to implement them into our own builds as well as stating your method/sources for obtaining a large amount of bricks?
This is so insane bro, I like it so much this pelican and the details you put it, I think is a little big compared to the figures but is still so awesome. A really masterpiece :D
Man your Halo MOCs are incredible! Absolutely blew it out of the park with this Pelican. I'm more of a Lego fan than Mega tbh, but your MOCs are so good I can't help but watch all your videos and watch in awe
This is so sick, and of the best Pelican rendition imo. Halo 3 truly nailed the aesthetic for UNSC and Covenant vehicles, the perfect balance of realism and aesthetics. I would wager it has the most realistic (according to lore) Pelican ever seen in Halo, with the Halo 2 Pelican coming in close. The Halo Reach (and Infinite) Pelican, while being very sleek and slender, really did away with a lot of the believable design traits- most notably the dual exhausts on the swiveling engines, which imo makes the aircrafts function much less believable. The cockpits are also just atrocious.
I was waiting for you to post this beauty. Best halo moc maker I’ve ever seen! Definitely do the comparison video! Can’t wait to see your scarab MOC ;)
Thats pretty fair I’d say the Pelican is pretty much the equivalent of the Chinook, large troop transport and vehicle mover. The Falcon is an equivalent to say a Blackhawk or Osprey mid sized air support that can also be used to transport a team and could probably move a vehicle if needed but not intended to. The Hornet is in line with the little bird a fast attack craft that can also double as a small transport a fireteam of 1-4 soldiers. The wasp is probably close to an Apache no troop transport capability but used for air support
Damn, 10 seats in the cargo bay is like a dream. Makes me hurt even more when MEGA's latest pelican only has one 😭Hope they bring back the 4 seats in the next one
I called it! Also really nice builds! You are literally the best Mega Mocs TH-camr I’ve ever seen! Keep up these awesome Mocs! Also I want a shadow, and a ghost pls that’d be really cool!
It is really incredible that you were able to create a lego UGC pelican. I have a fascination with the pelican and the way you constructed the pelican is really fantastic. Every single detail is just there waiting for us to see. Good job tho! However rip the branded version of the pelican in the market.
i do love a lot of halo vehicles the first one id think of is prob the pelican possibly the falcon but yeah its pretty much the iconic ship for the franchise
I didnt realize building techniques like this were possible using mega part selection. Most mega sets are just brick and plate stacking with a smattering of specialized pieces to bring the look together.
Literally so glad that the youtube algorithm recommended me your channel! As a halo fan, watching your vids satisfies me. P.s. can you make a cobra? thx :)
Duuuuude holy shit!!!!!! Also why does it still kinda look super cool with out the top half, it kinda looks like some sort of drop shuttle or something!

When I first saw the thumbnail, I didn't think that this was made with Mega parts. This build is genuinely so flawless that it looks like a proper model kit!
Seriously dude, literally the best halo moc out there, and I’ve seen a ton
Have you seen Brickman117’s ultimate pelican drop ship?
I love this moc but that award has to go Brickman117's Banished AA gun, its absolutely insane.
The different shades of greenish gray of the various parts creates a wonderful gradient effect, it looks like real metal, like different plates fitted to each other.
I agree, that really stood out to me. Great design.
the not consistant color of mega blocks make this look somehow better then if it was a solid color.
Bros gonna build the whole of high charity soon
The Pelican, Warthog, and Master Chief himself are probably most iconic things to come out of Halo
Naw the grunt wat you sain bruh lol jk
Energy sword?
Needler?
no way! as if they are the face of halo itself and the fuckton of merchandise! holy shit, really?!
This one is god tier mate I would like to see a phantom one day!!!
Me too! The Phantom is even bigger though so I'm not sure I'll even have room for it.
That is a seriously good Pelican, very nicely done. 👏
When brickman117 himself says it, you know its a job well done
I was hoping you saw this! Very cool! Mad respect!
@@ImeEssien same
Would be love to see a UCS style pelican get released. Would definitely be something I’d consider buying
I grew up playing with a lot of legos but I always appreciated that mega minifigs had so much more range of movement and detail to them.
I knew a darker green would make the Halo 3 style pelican look nicer, always thought the Pelican in 3 looked far too light. This thing is brilliant, absolutely love it.
This is absolutely incredible!! Great video and great build 🙌

I agree, and a 3D printed part would probably be blurry, same with brick built
I think if it were like an inlay to rest underneath the Mega pipes then it would preserve the spirit of it's brick-built nature!
As someone coming to the end of a massive design project myself, I can truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into something like this. Keep up the good work, you have a great talent!
I’m a Lego dude but wow this is sick, coolest moc I’ve seen this year
Dang…honestly, Mega should have hired you to make a special edition of the Pelican. That thing is amazing!
That thing is crazy dude! It really embodies the true Halo 3 Pelican! Great job!!!
Mega isn’t my thing personally, but as a fellow moc creator I absolutely respect the craft and this model is just insane
I have no words, this is truly one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in regards of the Halo Mega community.
One of those videos you click the like button before even watching it.
I know it would take an insane amount of time, pieces and maybe money, but please, consider making a Longsword.
I’ve never in my life wanted a custom lego to be a full on selling set!!😭😭😭😭 I am jealous in so many ways man so amazing
I need instructions.
You made a masterpiece!!!
When I was little I dreamed of someday having a Lego Pelican, one day ill buy either a set or a bunch of pieces and make my own one, absolutely amazing work!
Blown away yet again! STELLAR job my friend!

I can’t lie, this is ALL i wanted as a kid. To build it myself or get it it didn’t matter, I love this so bloody much what a UNIT well done🎉
Loving these episodes!!
You put more love for halo in this amazing project than 343 Industries in the last decade 😢
What it's crazy is that you were able do build all this with so few Lego pieces, especially since the moment that there are no sites for Megaconstrux pieces like Bricklink for Lego pieces, I can't imagine the patience in collecting all those parts

Here you can really appreciate the quality of Megaconstrux pieces
Mattel should invest more in it
Extraordinary
Exactly. Whilst they do have a different feel to Lego, I would no longer say that they're flat out worse especially in the last 10 years
I gotta see your moc at a convention man. you're so talented!
Do they even let non-Lego into those? 🤔
@@HaloReforger that’s a a good question 😅, I don’t think they do. Regardless would love to see them irl someday
Now I'm usually a diehard lego snob, but seeing this has definitely made me reconsider Mega. This build is amazing
Absolutely incredible, not only is that the most accurate pelican that I've seen, but it's the scale is literally perfect. Also until I watched this idk if I really grasped just how big they are, same length as an AC-130 is damn big
god my childhood. youve outdone yourself. amazing

I usually just customise base sets to make them look more accurate, but holy fuck this is a moc.. possibly the best one ever made
A would loveee to watch a Phantom scaled at that size. Nice job man!!
This thing is incredible. Really great discussion on your philosophy and it's evolution, that's interesting to see.
I clicked on the video thumbnail expecting something mid, and I was ready to skip and close the video... but was very glad to watch the whole thing
The model itself is exceptionally good, but the video editing is also top
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels and this build Is justo spectacular
This is amazing! It looks perfect and the functions are incredible. The best moc I've ever seen, whether it be Mega or Lego. Very impressive

Yes do a comparison to the Pelican Inbound. Your videos are amazing.
it took me till the 2:30 mark to notice that this is "LEGO" i thought it was just a model at first haha well done m8
This is insane. I never realized how big Pelicans were until now......Excellent work!
I’m not sure entirely how it would be done, but if you still wanted some “glass” for the canopy piece, I would suggest some clear plastic like from packaging and some light adhesive, something not too permanent and easy to clean up if removed.

That would be great to get a comparison with your pelican to Mega's pelican. Absolutely marvellous build. 👏🏼 you have a new sub!
This is so insane bro, I like it so much this pelican and the details you put it, I think is a little big compared to the figures but is still so awesome.
A really masterpiece :D
Praying for bro's wallet😭🙏🙏
It's megablocks so I wouldn't worry that much
Though this was 3d printed from the thumbnail! The angles on this build are mindboggling. Such an amazing build@
Man your Halo MOCs are incredible! Absolutely blew it out of the park with this Pelican. I'm more of a Lego fan than Mega tbh, but your MOCs are so good I can't help but watch all your videos and watch in awe

I was waiting for you to post this beauty. Best halo moc maker I’ve ever seen! Definitely do the comparison video!
Can’t wait to see your scarab MOC ;)
This is amazing 10/10 I would pay all of the money for this, I always wished I’d gotten the forward unto dawn model
Thats pretty fair I’d say the Pelican is pretty much the equivalent of the Chinook, large troop transport and vehicle mover.

The wasp is probably close to an Apache no troop transport capability but used for air support
This is the best Mega Moc Period. This imo beats 99% of lego mocs aswell
The music loop was killing me💀. Knowing how that song goes originally really highlighted how odd those parts were
Absolutely blew it out of the water I'd love to build one like this but I wouldn't even know where to get all the pieces
This is absolutely amazing!
Incredible Art
Amazing Vibe
Beautiful Work
Thank You Great Man
First video I’ve watched from you and I immediately subscribed after I saw the moc
I made a Lego version of a pelican Halo 3 came out, & is one of the few pieces I still have intact today!
Damn, 10 seats in the cargo bay is like a dream. Makes me hurt even more when MEGA's latest pelican only has one 😭Hope they bring back the 4 seats in the next one
This needs to blow tf up. So underrated
Yeah the back landing gear just has soo much stress due to the Pelican design, I found that out the hard way too
I’ll comment just to encourage you to post anything sooner! Love the content
I'm seen the ad previous to the video and I'have already love this moc
Yep, I've now finished the video and it was a pleasure, so proud of this comunity and its passion!! Awesome job, cant wait to see whats coming next ❤
I called it! Also really nice builds! You are literally the best Mega Mocs TH-camr I’ve ever seen! Keep up these awesome Mocs! Also I want a shadow, and a ghost pls that’d be really cool!
absolutely brilliant dude
I would buy a UCS Pelican like this in a heartbeat.
Easy $800 ~ $1000 drop on it, without a hesitation
God that’s so awesome. I miss halo mega blocks :(
While im sure the cost is staggering, this is absolutely my childhood dream to play with
That’s actually insane, good work man
oh this looks so dope. excellent work on this
absolutely amazing work ONCE AGAIN
Continually amazed by your work- this things a beauty! Keep it up dude:)
That's a lot of money to spend for an epic build. Looks sick.
Amazing work!

I want one!!! Amazing job!
Amazing work as usual :)
This is amazing! You even built scenery! Where do you get the pieces required for these builds? Is there a website like how Lego has Bricklink??
Dude this is amazing
i do love a lot of halo vehicles the first one id think of is prob the pelican possibly the falcon but yeah its pretty much the iconic ship for the franchise
Holy shit, this surpasses even Brickman117's giant pelican moc...
I think this might be the coolest Halo moc ever
God, I could only ever dream of such beauty. It brings a tear to my eye. 🥹
Fantastic build!
MEGA HIGHER THIS MAN TO MAKE THIS OFFICIAL AND MY WALKET IS YOURS
I think a worthwhile addition here is a 3d printed cockpit peice. As much as the bar design is cool, having a nice peice is alot better.
I didnt realize building techniques like this were possible using mega part selection. Most mega sets are just brick and plate stacking with a smattering of specialized pieces to bring the look together.
