Halo Warthog Keychain (PIP WW Vortek)

*Gregorian chants in the background*

 

A piece of everyone's gaming history comes to life in this commemorative keychain for the Halo Warthog.

 

The perfect model to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the first game and, most touchingly for me, the 18th anniversary of Halo 3, the best installment in the saga, in my opinion.

 

I must admit, this is the best model printed (so far, of course) using the PIP technique and my now-antiquated P1S, which still performs admirably. The model features fully functional wheels once the supports are removed, which are easy to remove, as most of them are external to the model and the wheels.

The model includes an antenna that, unfortunately, didn't hold up very well. I recommend ignoring it and leaving the model "minimal," if you can call it that, given the enormous amount of detail :D

 

I used matcha green CF PLA and I have to say I couldn't be more pleased with the result, especially the porous effect it gives the model.

 

I was worried about the machine gun being too fragile, but even here I was pleasantly surprised by the resistance I gave it.

 

And now, a few words about the model...

 

"The Warthog Force Application Vehicle, more commonly known as the Warthog or simply the Hog, is the name for a series of light utility vehicles serving as the United Nations Space Command's primary joint light tactical ground vehicle. Its variants are capable of performing armament carrier, utility, command and control (shelter), ambulance, reconnaissance and a variety of other tactical and logistic support roles. It is a highly mobile, all-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering, hydrogen-injected ICE-powered vehicle equipped with a manual transmission.

The most ubiquitous model is the M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle and its variants, which is equipped with advanced surveillance and a turret-mounted machine gun for a basic defensive capability. The M12 has been a part of the UNSC's mechanized infantry divisions and armored vehicle divisions since 2319, and is the most publicly recognizable vehicle in their arsenal"

 

I hope you enjoyed this model as much as I enjoyed doing this, leave a comment if you intend to print it and remember to
