How to Make a Halo LEGO Shade Turret

Shade Turret Base

• 1

  Attach the tops of two 1-by-5-by-4 arch pieces using a 1-by-8 plate.

• 2

  Place a 1-by-4 plate on the top front two spaces of two additional 1-by-5-by-4 arches.

• 3

  Arrange the two free-standing arches so that the protruding plate pieces line up against the fifth space from the left of the 1-by-8 plate that connects the other two arches.

• 4

  Attach a 4-by-4 frame plate on top of the intersection of the arches. The plate will hold the freestanding arches together.

• 5

  Place a 2-by-2 turntable in the center of the frame. Attach a clear, 2-by-2 round brick onto the turntable to simulate the hover effect of the turret.

Shade Turret Cockpit

• 6

  Attach three 2-by-2 roof tiles across one end of a 6-by-6 plate. The tiles should angle up toward the center of the plate. Attach three additional roof tiles to the opposite side of the plate, angling up to the center.

• 7

  Attach one additional roof tile on the two open ends of the plate, angling up toward the center. A 2-by-2 area of the plate will be left open as a cockpit.

• 8

  Attach a 5-by-4-by-2 clear, round wall element to the center of one side of the cockpit.

• 9

  Attach one 1-by-8 brick on each side of the clear wall, extending forward. Place one 1-by-4 brick on top of the 1-by-8 brick on each side, flush against the cockpit. These act as guns.

• 10

  Place the cockpit on top of the 2-by-2 round brick of the base. Rotate the cockpit around the base to aim.
