I got tired of looking at my Halo action figures standing blandly on my desk like pieces in a museum. Every action figure needs a place to kick butt and take names, so I designed a display for them. It's a truncated cross-section of a corridor inside the Pillar of Autumn. At 1:10 scale, it measures a full 48" wide across the front, 36" deep on either side, and 18" tall.

I pulled some screenshots from Halo into Adobe Illustrator, sized them to scale, traced them out and cut vinyl templates for the pieces. It was all cut out, and the thicker pieces were built up using foamcore ribs skinned in .080" polystyrene. The weathering was a lot of fun. It was spray-painted, then dry-brushed. Each of the floor tiles were painted and placed individually. My wife was terrified I was going to get thinned paint all over. Haha
