Me and my best buddy internet friend Rastadogg just discovered starmade a couple weeks ago. And since we both have a flair for creating giant things (which I'm assuming can only come from a common insanity), we instantly took it upon ourselves to create some 1:1 Halo ships. We aren't done and decided to put them on hold until we complete our next mega-project, but I figure I'll share with you guys how far we are now.
First up is Rasta's project, since I kind-of-sort-of forced him in to it originally, and all the work he had to do with the angles, I think he deserves to go first. Rasta's project is a 1:1 UNSC Destroyer, it really only exists on paper, some concept art, and one completely useless measurement, but it looks damn sexy. Right now he doesn't plan to make an interior so he's almost finished, but I'll see if I can change his mind.

Up next is my project, I decided to go with making a 1:1 Charon-class light frigate (Halo 3). I always liked the way it looked, and at the time I didn't feel like starting anything bigger, so it was the perfect fit. The exterior is almost done, all thats left are some minor hull details, then I'll move on to the interior. It's just a shell now and has no power, shields, or weapons, but I'll add them in after I get my basic floor plan figured out.

We also both took a shot at making a Sabre so we had something to put in the hangers (Mine is the light one Rasta's is the darker one). Probably going to make a pelican but haven't gotten around to it yet.

The mega-project were putting these on hold for, in an attempt to one-up a friend (don't tell him), is going to be a 1:1 Orbital Defense Platform like Cairo from 'Halo 2'. The SMAC by itself is 1.3km long so it'll probably take a bit of time to finish. I'll update when we eventually start on it.
Update #1 Couple small unsc ships, covie ships, and the start of the ODP.
After taking a few weeks off due to work, Metro LLs release, and being generally burned out from working on our sort-of finished mega projects, we decided to hop in Sunday and start on a week long series of projects.
Rasta decided that he was going to finally remake his Longsword, calling his old one "kind-of crap".

I made it around to making my Pelican dropship. It's ~1m short so that I could shrink my Frigate's hangers enough to leave a 8m wide walkway down the center of the ship.

This Point-defense gun was made a while ago but never got around to showing it off. Its the UNSC's universal ship defense turret, and looks pretty on both my frigate and Rasta's destroyer, which is a plus.

I started work on our ODP finishing the bridge to get the basic scale of the station, from here I'm going to lay out where the gun and the ship docks will go, so we can (hopefully) work without having to have to re-do large bits due to mistakes. The interior of the bridge isn't finished quite yet, not convinced I like the setup.

We then decided to have a series of build-offs for Covenant themed pirate spacecraft, since we were lacking an enemy fleet.
Our first build-off was to make a Covenet Seraph-class Starfighter. We needed something to match our Longswords and Sabers.

Our second build-off was to make a Covenet Spirit Dropship. One of my favorite covie ships, a little disappointed they dropped this after Halo 1.

Our third build-off was to make a Covenet Phantom Dropship. Even though this replaced the Spirit I still love the way it looks.

Our Fourth build-off was going to be a Covenet Boarding Craft, but by the time it rolled around I was getting burned out, so we did a team build. Rasta built literally all of it, and then I came in at the last minute and built an interior, go teamwork!

We plan on making a small scaled down Covenet Assault Carrier, somewhere between 100m - 500m as a sort of pirate flagship to match our Frigate and Destroyer. We might do more work on our ODP before we start on this.
