Made this a few weeks ago with LDD.

I thought it turned out pretty good. I would've used the "suspension method" but you really can't with LDD.

The only part I see that stands out as "bad" is the front, but it's such a hard shape to create with LEGO let alone LDD.

It's also a pain because some parts that would REALLY help aren't in LDD, such as 1x1 Dark Grey plates and the hinge plates in the seat (wish they had them in black).

I decided not to include mini-figs because...

1) It would increase the cost

2) No LDD mini-fig combination matches either Master Chief or a soldier.

The model itself is *only* $22.39 which I think is fair considering the size of the model and some of the special parts in it (windshield, blasters, wheels/tires, ect).

Accessories in the model include: 2 "megaphone" blasters and 1 Walkie-talkie (on the "roof"). There's a few printed tiles in the cockpit and the turret moves.

Please leave comments and constructive criticism.

Also, as of right now, it violated a rule for the Factory Gallery and is not displayed. I took out Halo in the discription and hope it will be approved now. Any hints on how to make sure it is accepted would be nice.

That's a nice model! A lot more simpler than some of those SNOT MOCs on MOCpages! Congrats!

Yeah, a lot of those ones are very good. I tried to make it pretty accurate, but keep the main idea simple, so the price wouldn't be outrageous.

Also, LDD has a rather small library of Green parts, and a lot of the parts that would be ideal for SNOT techniques aren't in Green/Grey (on LDD at least).

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like it.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, there's not too many studs. The only ones that stick out are the seats, hood, and the two bars on the top. Also the steps, but I did that on purpose. I know it's not SNOT, but it's pretty smooth overall.

i cant say i approveof halo but you have do it very good and it looks alot like the original!

dunno how to help with approval, i upload my Ragnarok (seen in another thread ) and that got done for lisencing issues even though it was entirely my own design

I'm not that big a fan of Halo, I just LOVE the design of the Warthog itself. I was testing LDD for the first time so I choose a model that I'm at last a little familiar with (I've made a few out of real bricks).

I think the approval is just a matter of finding a way to show people its the Warthog from Halo, but also avoiding using trademarked terms so TLC allows it (as of now, they don't approve of models that are from licenses). The last thing I would want is for LEGO to get in trouble so I might just take out "Warthog" and find a new name for it, but people could still buy it if they were looking for one.

Thanks for the comment and help.

can't you change the name and upload it again? i really would like to buy it
