The UNSC Infinity

[lean patio]

I always wanted to make the ship out of bricks. And after many a trial and tribulations I finally finished it. Soon I’ll have the instructions made for it and have them for sale.

[lean patio]

16,240

I think at most a minute for each one. Having a 3080 graphics card helps out with the rendering.

Mhm

[vapid marten]

Lucky...

[lean patio]

Heck I’m surprised the computer site I bought it at had it.

[brittle sapphire]

Quite impressive, nice construction there.

[lean patio]

Thanks. Took me two weeks to rebuild it in the program.

[silk wing]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this thing is a beast! Insane build! 👍

[lethal sundial]

Minifigure scale?

With an interior?

[lean patio]

Oh heavens no. I would need all the plastic in the world to build something that big, and a super computer to render it.

[lean patio]

The only interior I have are the hanger bays for the stridents. Other than that it’s filled in with bricks for structural support.

[lethal sundial]

Nice

[lethal sundial]

Strident?

[lean patio]

Yeah. This ship houses ten small ships called strident class frigates

[lethal sundial]

Show me

[lean patio]

@lethal sundial

[lethal sundial]

Nicee

[lethal sundial]

Unsc is United Nations space command?

[lean patio]

Yes

@lethal sundial

[lethal sundial]

Nice

[lyric mirage]

@lean patio
Are rooms in the ship?

[rocky cloak]

holy shit thats maassive

[lean patio]

Aside from the hanger bay there are none.

[lean patio]

Oh yeah, it’s a big boy alright

[rocky cloak]

how the hell do you even start building

i wouldn't know where to start

[lean patio]

That’s a fair point. For me, I started with the hanger bays down below and worked my way up from there. That way I new the ship itself was to scale to the others ships I had from the ground up.

How it all started

[rocky cloak]

I really wish someone could teach me

[lean patio]

Teach you? Well for me most of my great teachers were Lego instructions. Seeing how different sets were built and constructed and viewing the different building techniques utilized is what has gotten me here today.

[rocky cloak]

hmm

Yeah I should look into that

[lean patio]

Go to brick factory and just look through old instructions for old sets. It’s what I did as a kid.

[rough quiver]

It’s beautiful

[lean patio]

Thank you for your kind words

[rough quiver]

Np

[glad cobalt]

Halo mocs 🤤

I’m currently trying to make a UNSC Paris class frigate from halo but I haven’t made much progress cos I’ve been building smt for a Lego convention tomorrow

[lusty smelt]

OH this is AWESOME!

[lean patio]

😁 thank you very much. I honestly wasn’t expecting another message here. You wanna see a picture of me holding it?

[lean patio]

🤤

[lean patio]

Oh cool. How big do you plan on making it?

[lusty smelt]

YOU MADE IT IRL?! HELL YEAH!

[lusty smelt]

I'd love to see a photo of you holding it!

[lean patio]

Tada

Sorry for the late reply, I’m at work rn

[glad cobalt]

Based on what I’ve done so far it might be about 100 studs long

[lean patio]

Way longer than that. It’s 6 feet long

I’d say around 150-200 studs. I’ll check when I get home

[glad cobalt]

What? You were asking how long mine is

I’m so confused

[glad cobalt]

I think your UNSC infinity is about 230 studs long

[lean patio]

Agreed. Maybe. I’ll let you know

[lean patio]

Nope. Just answering your question. I’m not always on the same page with people.

[lusty smelt]

OH MY SLAGGING PRIMUS

that is one of the COOLEST builds I've ever seen!

100 out of a 100

[lean patio]

😁😁😁 thank you friend

[lusty smelt]

that is sooooo sick!

[lean patio]

😁

[lean patio]

You should see the rest of my builds

[lusty smelt]

aside from this one have how many of your builds have been posted to this server?

[lean patio]

Yes

All of them

It’s why I came to the server

To share my stuff with others

I’m the reason why they have put so many restrictions on the contests the server has

[lean patio]

You wanna see them?

[lusty smelt]

that's hilarious

[lusty smelt]

YES

[lean patio]

I’ll show you why

This be the reason

[lusty smelt]

oh my primus

[lean patio]

[lusty smelt]

that has to be one of the biggest builds I've seen in a while

[lean patio]

😁😁😁

Hehe, thank you

[lean patio]

What do think of the mecha?

[lusty smelt]

dude that's one of my most common posts

I love mecha

I have gundam kits

I live mecha

[lean patio]

Oh dope

[lusty smelt]

[lean patio]

[lusty smelt]

[nimble stirrup]

HOLY SHIT

[lean patio]

Hehe, thanks fam

[lean patio]

Designing it?

[nimble stirrup]

[lean patio]

I free built it

[nimble stirrup]

FREE BUILD

[lean patio]

Then rebuilt it in the digital design program so I could make instructions

[nimble stirrup]

oh my lord

[lean patio]

😁

[nimble stirrup]

die hard lego builder

[lean patio]

Damn right

You should see the space station

[nimble stirrup]

[lean patio]

Lemme see

[nimble stirrup]

you got to much free time

and too much money

[lean patio]

Hehe

Yes

[nimble stirrup]

what do you do in your free time "clicking plastic blocks together for 12 hours straight"

relatable

[lean patio]

That and video games, and working, and working out, and studying school stuff.

[lean patio]

Mhm

[nimble stirrup]

ah yes

same same

[lean patio]

Ah very nice

[nimble stirrup]

besides working and working out

i aint got time for working out

and i aint got no job

[lean patio]

Ah okay

Well one day you will

[nimble stirrup]

soon again, like 2 months i can start

[lean patio]

Oh nice

[glad cobalt]

I’ve accidentally just come across your YouTube channel after finding the UNSC infinity close up

W moc, I’m currently trying to build my first halo moc that I’m actually gonna finish, I’m building a warthog diorama with custom figs and weapons

[lean patio]

Oh dope. I’m glad you found my video. And good luck with the moc. I would love to see it when it’s done.

[glad cobalt]

Thanks

I’ve ordered the parts for the warthog but the figs were too expensive so I might get them another time

[lean patio]

Ah okay. Wait how expensive were they?

[glad cobalt]

Well it’s based in America and I’m in the uk so it was the shipping that was expensive. If you wanted one Spartan fig, it’s about £15 ($18.94) for the custom helmet, custom chestplate, and an official plain fig to go with the armour, if you want the armour without the official plain Lego figure, it’s about £4 ($5.05), and then I was gonna get an energy sword for about £1.25 ($1.58), but the shipping was about £20 ($25.26) to my area

Might get it another time though because I’d really like them figs in my collection

[lean patio]

Ah okay

Yeah I wouldn’t mind getting a few of those figures myself

[glad cobalt]

Yeah

There are figs and accessories for a bunch of different themes Lego doesn’t do, halo, breaking bad, cod, etc

[lean patio]

Did not know about breaking bad

[glad cobalt]

They’re apparently high quality and other than the custom moulds, the prints use official Lego pieces

[lean patio]

But the others I’m familiar with

[glad cobalt]

If you wanna buy smt search tactical bricks

Their website should be the first thing

You can’t search halo though because they’ve had to rename the figs for copyright reasons, but if you find it, their are custom grunts, elites, halo weapons, marines, noble team I think, and Spartans from the regular olive Green master chief to a bunch of other colours, and with either gold or silver visors

[lean patio]

Oh dope

Also good to know about the copyright with halo.

[glad cobalt]

Oh hang on the reason i thought it was so expensive was bc the prices don’t automatically change to bps it’s in usd

[glad cobalt]

Yeah

[lean patio]

If I ever decide to sell my instructions

[lean patio]

Oooooohhhhhhh

[glad cobalt]

You can get detailed prints on faces for marines or you can get the classic smiley face style with a chinstrap or mic or something

Nvm no chinstraps, but you can get classic style marine heads with visors and a mic

There are brutes too

[glad cobalt]

Then there’s the energy sword but I have no clue what they’ve called it

[lean patio]

Ah okay

Hehe, space marine

[lean patio]

This stuff looks amazing

[glad cobalt]

Yeah

It uses custom moulds that use the same plastic as Lego, official Lego pieces, custom printing, and I’m pretty sure the whole business is run by 1 or 2 people who make everything in their garage

[lean patio]

Oh dope

[glad cobalt]

Each item usually has a frequently bought together pack if you wanna get packs that go together easily

The olive Spartan recommends an AR and mark 5 armour in any colour, the mark 5 armour in any colour recommends a magnum and AR etc

And I’m assuming the elite offers a grunt and an energy sword or smt

Brick forge does halo things too which are slightly more detailed and I think it’s cheaper too but imo I prefer bricktacticals way more

[lean patio]

Ah okay

[lean patio]

Thanks for the info

[cedar zinc]

This is super impressive! Awesome MOC, I love Halo!

[lean patio]

Thanks fam, I’m glad you love them

[covert gale]

That’s not the smile of an entirely sane person

Omg u look like how guys pose with fish they caught

Same energy

[glad cobalt]

😭🙏

[lean patio]

Hehe, thanks for noticing 😁😁😁

[lean patio]

Boop

[glad cobalt]

You should make the new Mombasa streets from halo 3

That’s what my next project is, I have an extremely small budget and I’m limited to parts atm but I’m thinking of making modular 32x32 dioramas of new Mombasa that I can make a big diorama out of

Might take me a couple years just to get money for the pieces though

[lean patio]

Hmmm, maybe. Se shall see

[lean patio]

Best of luck to you there man

[leaden gate]

Halo be like

I miss halo 4, but only the Cortana parts

[lean patio]

Same fam

[limber wadi]

That is amazing

And big

[lean patio]

Thanks hehe

[rotund swallow]

YESSS the unsc infinity is my favorite ship in all of scifi!

[lean patio]

😁 Thanks I’m glad you love the build

[rotund swallow]

I tried to make a miniature one, around 5 studs, but gave up because I remembered I suck at building with Legos lol, so I bought a 3d printer, and printed an entire unsc fleet

[lean patio]

Wait what? That’s so fucking cool. I would have done the same if I had a 3D printer. But that’s super expensive so I just stuck with legos.

[rotund swallow]

If you want I can send you a picture in DMs

[lean patio]

Sounds good

[rotund swallow]

Do you ever plan on adding the back dome bit to your IRL model?

[lean patio]

One day

[rotund swallow]

I'm wondering what I should make tomorrow

I wanna make another starship

But can't decide which one

[lean patio]

I get that

Are there any others you really want to have?

[rotund swallow]

H m m m

[rotund swallow]

Is that the USG ishimura?

[lean patio]

Absolutely hehe

[rotund swallow]

I actually might make a sub

[lean patio]

Oh cool

[rose pumice]

Impressive

[lean patio]

Thank you

[forest flicker]

Dude this is awesome

[lean patio]

Thanks fam, wait until you see the space station

[lusty smelt]

...you're making a space station!? HELL YEAH!

Looking forward to that definitely

[lean patio]

Hehe, I’ve had it for a while now. I just posted it on the Mocs section with its own page if you wanna see it.

[rotund swallow]

Except he's a bit happier because he's holding something cooler than a fish

[covert gale]

Frr

[lean patio]

Agreed

[lean patio]

Noice

[lavish oar]

Gorgeous build!
