Hey guys! I was thinking of something large to build in MC, and somehow I thought of the Pillar of Autumn from Halo. Problem was, the PoA was too big to fit in MC on a 1:1 scale, so I chose a frigate instead (based on In Amber Clad).
I named this project and ship the Crimson Dust, since I plan to have a lot of internal redstone wiring. When the ship is 100% done, I'll make a little tour video of it and post the save.
Oh, and if any of you can find schematics of what the internals of halo frigates look like, that would be helpful.
Progress:
First three extrusions:
Detailing of the Dust's nose:
I had to use cartographs since the ship wouldn't fully render in-game.
It looks good, but it's not quite 1:1, if I remember the Frigate's specs, correctly. I'm almost certain it's 170-some meters tall. Well, anyway, keep it up. This makes me want to finish my own ship.

Why do we have a Suggestions section if everyone shoots everyone else down? I suggest renaming it the Flame War section. Pun intended.

Actually, the frigate In Amber Clad is 112 meters tall, 152 meters wide, and 478 meters long according to the Halo wiki. Source.
Also, worked on some detailing on the ship's nose, you can see that in the OP and below.

If at first you don't succeed, you obviously don't have enough weapons.
I'm mainly using these two:
