This was first posted April 9, 2004, and I admit - it's not one of my best creations. It's studdy, boxy, and small. But at the time, I considered it an awfully big undertaking. The Pelican is not only pretty oddly shaped and difficult to accomplish in LEGO, but it's also freakin' huge - it can carry a Scorpion Tank on its rear end! So needless to say, mine is on a much smaller scale.

The Pelican showing off its assets. As usual, I tried to include every play feature I could. It was troublesome finding a way to make the engine pods on the front stay rotated, but I felt it necessary.

Another play feature I worked hard to include was an easy-access interior. The whole troop compartment folds down on a hinge.

Although it's never shown in the original Halo, the pelican's chin-gun is clearly visible in Halo 2.

Before you ask, no, it can't carry the Warthog. In fact, it can't carry any vehicles. I should probably make a bigger and better version in the future, since I know that I could, but it's doubtful than I actually will.
