The City of New Mombasa    Still a WIP. I've scrapped the Jungle idea, and made it New Mombasa, and still in planning stages. I'm not going to say alot, but this is going to be big, tiled, and full of action. Tekka Croe and I are both working on this together, and I will be building the diorama itself, while he plans to build some cars and street scraps. The plan is to have a TON of Grunts, 4 or 5 Elites, a Covenant watchtower, a Phantom, some barricades and the City itself. I'm currently make billboards for the city, and little kinks people might be able to spot when Tekka and I take it to BrickWorld (2010 or '11). The main building is as tall as my leg:  Tekka and I still have no idea on how we're going to arm all of the Covenant, but we have 4 Plasma pistols so far, 2 Energy swords, and 2 Needlers. But I'm sure we'll think of something. *I did not take Forge Trooper Trooper's idea. I started this a long time ago, and have been working on it ever since.* Tips are welcome. -Alex

Maybe you could do a semi large skyscraper in one of the little quadrants!

Why is there a crab holding a space magnum and wearing a hat? I just had to ask. I look forward to seeing this when its completed!
For every brickarm created, there is a minifig who needs it.
Sorry I haven't been posting: school is taking up a lot of my time
I'm working on a giant vig: should be done soon!!!

It looks like you have a good start on this, the base is very accurate. May I ask if this is in any certain spot, (i.e. NMPD Headquarters) or just in the city? I have an idea, kinda weird, but what if you photoshopped the finished product to make it look like VISR mode? Anyway I expect great things from you!

Actually, to be honest, it was originally going to be at the NMPD headquarters, but now it's really just somewhere near the Orbital Elevator, which I plan to build someday. Also, this diorama is going to include every clue from the game (detonator, Romeo's sniper, etc. etc). I might make it look like VISR mode... Who knows. ;)

Is this base one of many to come? Imagine the whole city...Eh, dreaming won't get me anywhere. Okay, thanks for clearing up the location, I might have to play ODST again to see what it will look like! Until then, nice job! (again)
