Hey guys, I'm back with a HUGE build! I've been working on this for about 3 months and now finally completed it! The Covenant Type-47 Ultra-Heavy Assault Platform or "Scarab" rebuild based on the Mega Bloks stock!
Mega Bloks version. Tbh, I don't think I needed to add the stock photo here, you guys should clearly tell the difference
In-game photo
Of course, I'm definitely not the first one who thought of rebuilding the Scarab; someone in the Blok Forum made one, Goodwill Hunter made one in 2015, and then VinceHoffman managed a good one in 2017 and I think there's still more out there that I don't know of!
I've been planning on making a rebuild since 2015, attempted on it 3 times (One back in 2015, cancelled the entire building after not figuring out how to tackled the ankles, second one in 2016 when I still can't figured out the toes and got confused with the build itself and the third one from the same year, I lose interest and moved on to Pillar of Autumn) and , finally, in 2017 I managed to tackle it! With a little catch, it can't move and I have to cheat on the build. I ended up have to super glue most of the toe pieces and some other spots. So it's more of a "Display model" than a rebuilt MB play set..
It's just a dollar cheap super glue, so I can pull it apart easily but I'm not sure how an I going to completely removed the glue or at least mostly. :/

The Little details!
[*]Cloned VinceHoffman's little armor flaps for the bottom of the leg.
[/LIST]
The only way to make it stay, besides the supergluing part, is ending have to add those little pole just above the legs so the weight won't successfully pull it down and have to add some clear bloks in the knee joint areas...

Yes, I managed to removed the shield in the back , kinda like how Goodwill Hunter did it, and made the room kinda like how VinceHoffman did it, just a bit crowded that's all lol!
Last photo!
Thanks for viewing! Other than the fact it can't move and I cheated on it a bit, what do you think? Critic is welcome. I seriously don't recommend Cloning this, that build is a headache

The Little details!
[*]Removed the wall within the top AA gun stand so figures could​ go through!
[*]Made it where the front AA gun could rotate!
[*]extended the nose by 3 studs so it could covered the front turret!
[*]Added the little ramp thats around the front that lead you back the middle deck!
[*]Cloned VinceHoffman's little armor flaps for the bottom of the leg.
[/LIST]
[*]Rebuilt the middle deck to make ot more game-accurate
[*]Shrinked the barricades so it can be the in the same scale with the Scarab
[*]Made the top turret rotatable aswel by using the left over Ball socket and joints!
[*]I successfully, yet cheated, made the toes! A game-accurate toe!
[*]Added a "crashing to the ground" around the toes as it look like they just jumped off somewhere high
[*] Thinned the wall, and added the little pole thing in the middle that supports the other floors!
[*]Due to some extra details, I got to shrink the bottom back deck by some, so that means to door hatch got to shrink. But at least I made it accessable through the bottom deck
[*]Made the very bottom of the Scarab's body a lot more accurate than MB version
[*]Leg joints! And no support for bottom!
