Unlike the actual 3DS, this one made by ape the monkey is less likely to cause eye problems in kids.

Finally, a nemesis worthy of my vast intellect
Following his amazing GLaDOS from Portal 2, Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) miniaturizes a turret to minifig-scale (or near enough), alongside an adorable custom Chell fig, complete with ASHPD.
For all of you out there who’d like your own turret to keep you company during the long twilight of civilization, Brandon has kindly posted instructions.
Another interesting thing about Brandon’s design has been watching it evolve based on feedback from fellow builders. See the earlier iterations here and here, together with the comments that inspired the final version.

Lego Starcraft 2 Marine
By now it’s clear that the Terran units from Starcraft 2 are easiest to make out of LEGO. Sven Junga adds the marine to list of the community’s brick-built Terran units including the Battlecruiser, Thor, Viking, Banshee, Medivac, Siege Tank and more.
It’s a good thing I can counter marines with my banelings!

As a bonus, check out the multi-colored turrets by Ryan (L D M) inspired by this trailer.
Metal Storm mecha by Cole Blaq
We’re used to small to mid-sized mecha from Cole Blaq, but his latest is a rather massive stomper inspired by the old NES game Metal Storm.

The minifig in the cockpit gives some sense of the mecha’s scale:

Master Chief is neither the most interesting nor my favorite character from the Halo universe, but he is lucky to have the honor of being sculpted in LEGO by Jack Marquez (Ewok in Disguise).
Though a bit foreshortened in this photo, the assault rifle is a nice build in its own right.
Will Page’s Portal turret
While we’ve featured several Portal turrets in the past, this version by Will Page (Haystack Hair) is one of the most accurate Lego renditions and even features opening side panels for the guns. Now I really can’t wait for Portal 2 to come out.
Nathaniel Shields’s Halo grunt
We’ve featured two Lego Halo grunts in the past, but this one by Nathaniel Shields is perhaps the most accurate. The builder makes great use of Bionicle parts as well as a few System bricks for intricate small details.
Master Chief’s helmet looks good in Lego, but won’t stand headshots
Ben Caulkins (Benny Brickster) created a faithful rendition of a gray version of Master Chief’s helmet from Halo. If you’re like me, you’d like to know if it’s wearable. Yes, it is.
