Saw one of these in a model shop, still not sure about one..

Still looking very toy-like at the moment...

For your value of "Toylike".

Me, I would be happy with getting it that far.

For $25-30 USD...I'll take toylike all day - considering the alternatives are an order of magnitude more expensive

And much harder to find now that spartan have bitten the dust.

Yep, and even if say Bandai or something released a full-on model kit you'd be looking at double or more the price etc.  For something that'll serve as a nice piece of terrain or objective marker, etc....it's excellent.  I need to get out to Hobby Lobby and pick one up.

Just got my 2nd one for my day of birth last week.
I like em,especially for their cost.
Would having 4 be too many? Or not enough?

David, you sent me decals for my ships for my birthday? That's so nice of you. I just didn't know you had my address already. :-)

I commissioned a set of decals for the Revell (and Spartan Games) Pelican (before I discovered somebody had already made a 'Halo' set available - my apologies to...) and have made them available to all. Be aware though that they may need a little more attention than decals you may be used to (see user instructions on the site)  http://www.jbot.ca/space/pelican.shtml

The decals went on fine and were much more robust than I had anticipated. The only problem I encountered was of my own making - the gloss coat I applied wasn't as smooth or as glossy as it should have been and as a consequence the decal film around the 'birds' is visible. Lesson learned (it was always meant to be just a test piece for the Spartan games version so not too bothered)! Lots more weathering to add and quite a bit of detail painting to do.

It's really coming together now! It looks great

started work on the cockpit canopy...
