After last week's successful attempt to build the Star Wars Tie Fighter II Modelwe thought this week we'd have a go at the Halo 3D Model Kit: Master Chief Helmet to celebrate the release of Halo 5: Guardians. 

With a new stock of Halo model kits having just arrived in the Gadget Inspector warehouse, we thought we'd put our model making skills to the test once again constructing one of the new models. Just like last week, we started off by carefully popping out the individual pieces, doing our best not to damage any of them.

Next, using the illustrated instructions (which we find extremely helpful, although we like to pretend we don't need them because we're veteran model-makers now), we started putting the pieces together. We found this to be quite easy due to there being no gluing or soldering required; we simply had to put the tabs in the holes. However, we do recommend that you keep a pair of tweezers or needle nose pliers handy - some of those parts can be fiddly!

Soon enough, we succeeded once again, having constructed our own beautiful model of Master Chief's helmet. Maybe we should start entering model making competitions...

It won't surprise you in the slightest to learn that we are all massive Star Wars nerds here at Gadget Inspector. Our site has always been well-stocked with Star Wars stuff, but our latest addition to this ever-growing pile might just be one of the coolest yet.

We speak of none other than our awesome Star Wars 3D Model Kits! There are four different models available (R2-D2, the Millennium Falcon, a TIE Fighter and an AT-AT Walker), but regardless of which one you choose, you can be sure of a very rewarding model-making challenge and a cool Star Wars figurine when you're finished!

Now, we're not the most experienced of model-makers here at GI HQ, but we tried our hand at the TIE Fighter and, actually, it wasn't all that difficult. All you have to do is press out the pieces and connect 'em up - you might need a pair of tweezers for the little bits, but otherwise, it's pretty straightforward stuff!
