Halo Tundra Warthog

[spencer1984]

Built from Revell's snap kit. I didn't want to have another green Warthog on theshelf, so I did this one up in the game's "Tundra" camouflage. The figure is from Valkyrie Hobby, and while not exactly to scale - she's 1/24 and the Warthog is about 1/28 - it's close enough for me. A full writeup of what I did is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Nice looking Warthog.  Well done.

Thank you!

Nice job.  I picked up one of these kits off eBay, but unfortunately when I got it the windshield was missing.  So I need to see if I can make one up, or I found a 3D file for sale & maybe scale it and make a vacuform piece.

Thanks! Funny you say that...I bought a parts donor Warthog off eBay because mine didn't have a windshield. I had assumed I just misplaced it somewhere in the years between buying and building it, but now I wonder if it was a QC issue and Revell forgot to include it in some kits.

Very cool

I'm not sure, I contacted the seller and he said he had the kit for awhile, so it could have just got misplaced.  Here is a link to the 3D files of the Warthog I mentioned above.  It comes in a 1/16th and 1/32nd scale, but you can adjust it to fit what scale you want or need:

They also offer a pretty nice Maser Chief figure that could be scaled to go along with the Warthog:

A little harder to print at a larger scale, but they also have a D77 Pelican flyer:

It's amazing how much of a game changer 3D printing has been in this hobby. The figure I have with my Warthog was made by a digital artist and produced by Valykrie Hobby.

An excellent variation! The figure works well too, kind of takes it out of the Halo universe.
