Thanks, the purple definitely makes it, I’m so glad I waited until now to create this rather than compromising the build by using what was previously available to me.
really cool to get to follow along an ultimate build again, already looks insanely good! You better build a diorama of the start of the 2nd mission in CE when its done. Merry Christmas Brickman!
Thanks, it feels good to be back on a build series again, it’s been a long time. The completed ship will most definitely appear in dioramas in the future . Merry Christmas to you too 🥳
Love it so far!! I’d love to help by sending some pieces your way! I have a TON of old covenant purple! I’d give them for free if we can work out something with shipping! Either way you’re doing great!
This looks amazing so far! I wonder if instead of having exposed studs, you could instead maybe use some kind of tile to create a smooth surface that contrasts the slopes, as right now the hollow studs showing feel rather off somehow
Thanks, I did try it with all smooth grey slopes as my gut told me that would look better but once I’d done it I personally thought it didn’t look right, it was too smooth. Once the build is complete I might show it with the current studded slopes and swapped out for smooth slopes just so everyone can see the difference
in my opinion i would be building over a soft surface so if i drop it it wont explode. the purple really stands out and grabs your eye. the step on the slopes is bearly even noticeable which is a good thing and rewatching this it really shows how much you added to it. this is really cool and impressive when its done i think seeing how it looks to the other stuff you built like the pelican and banished AA gun would look pretty cool i do wonder if you are building the other troop as well or if that will be built later on.
I just wanna put this here...today, christmas day, my sisters unknowingly gave me a third hornet set. Within that box, was another sgt. stacker, an odst, a BR, and two magnums. I say again, TWO magnums. From the three hornet sets I have now, I have four silver magnums.
Unfortunately they don’t make that part without hollow studs so it’s either hollow studs or smooth slopes. I think I’ll try the smooth slopes again once the build is complete so I can show the comparison, it will only take a minute to swap them out.
As it’s Christmas I’ve released this episode today instead of Friday. Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you are all safe, warm and loved 😊
Merry Christmas brick man
Have a great Christmas brick man
Have a better Christmas than this guy says brick man

Looking good dude!
Only Brickman can make a custom build look like it’s coming together seamlessly! Merry Christmas everyone!
It’s all in the edit 😂, Merry Christmas 🥳
Christmas came early!
Loving this so far. It would be cool if the stand for the finished build was a grassy field with bungie era covenant jumping out of the spirit
REALLY COOL
I think you nailed the angles tbh it looks awesome
Thank you, so far so good 😊
Right on!
mega should make this set! i will love to do this to finish up my covenant army
Great viewing this with my first coffee on Xmas day , Merry Christmas everyone
Love this guy
BrickMan117 making more for fans than Mega Construx
I always get so jealous when I'm working on a project and bam, you blow me out of the water
Hopefully the build will inspire you to just keep building, Merry Christmas 🥳

Merry Christmas to you too 🥳
Brilliant 👏, merry Christmas to all fellow brick enjoyers, can't wait to see more updates 🥵
Good this custom builds are back again
Glad you’re enjoying them! 😊
Spirit is already coming together so good! You're awesome
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the finished result 😊
What a wonderful design I can see all the great detail you’re putting into it I’m so excited for the rest of the build I can’t wait
I appreciate the kind words, I can’t wait to see the finished product!
peak builds as always, merry Christmas BrickMan117
Thank you, same to you. 🥳
Looking incredible so far! Lining up the slopes and curves is so damn satisfying
Thanks, it's a little bit of a challenge but the results are definitely worth it.
Thank you very much I really wanted to see that part. Merry Christmas brick man
You are very welcome, Merry Christmas to you too!
Looking great! Merry Christmas to you and your family Brickman!!
Thanks, you too! 😁
That looks incredible!!!

That is incredibly kind of you, I'm very grateful, but I have plenty of covenant purple at the moment, thanks for offering though! 👍

@brickman1175 that's probably a great idea! Our idea of what something looks like is never as reliable as actually seeing it in practice!
Incredible! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Looks amazing so far!

Thanks for your feedback on the build, always appreciated. I’m building the second troop bay now, that will be part 4.

I like studs for texture but I'm not convinced by the hollow studs. Looks like someone has been drilling holes in it.
Unfortunately they don’t make that part without hollow studs so it’s either hollow studs or smooth slopes. I think I’ll try the smooth slopes again once the build is complete so I can show the comparison, it will only take a minute to swap them out.

Does mega have a brick link like site?
''No
Sadly not, eBay for used sets is the way I collect parts.
