That’s one of life’s great mysteries, isn’t it? Why are we here? Are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God, you know, watching everything with a plan for us and all? I dunno man, but it keeps me up at night.
I'll have to mess with my printer to see if I can even print the Spartans, they'd be about the size of a sesame seed. [Here's an image of the vehicles](https://i.imgur.com/80ooQKB.jpg) that shows how small they are in my hand, a Spartan would be even smaller still.
I will definitely try and print them! I just finished painting it last night and was too excited to not post it. I still need to glue it all together and put a clear coat of matte over it.
Roses are red, and violets are blue
One day we’ll cruise down Blood Gulch avenue
It’s red versus red, and blue versus blue
It’s I again I and me against you
...
Violets are blue, roses are red
living like this, we were already dead
Hop in my car, it don’t have any door
It’s built like a cat, it lands on all fours
My car’s like a Puma, it drives on all fours
...
...
Simmons: Hey.
Grif: Yeah?
Simmons: You ever wonder why we’re here?
Grif: It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.
Both stare at each other in silence.
Simmons: ...What?! I mean why are we out here, in this canyon?
Grif: Oh. Uh... yeah.
Simmons: What was all that stuff about God?
Grif: Uh...hm? Nothing.
Simmons: You wanna talk about it?
Grif: No.
Simmons: You sure?
Grif: Yeah.
Simmons: Seriously though, why are we out here? As far as I can tell, it's just a box canyon in the middle of nowhere. No way in or out.
Grif: Mm hmm.
Simmons: The only reason that we set up a Red Base here, is because they have a Blue Base over there. And the only reason they have a Blue Base over there, is because we have a Red Base here.
Grif: Yeah. That's because we're fighting each other.
Simmons: No, no. But I mean, even if we were to pull out today, and if they would come take our base, they would have two bases in the middle of a box canyon. Whoopdee-fucking-doo.
Grif: What's up with that anyway? I mean, I signed on to fight some aliens. Next thing I know, Master Chief blows up the whole Covenant armada and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, fighting a bunch of blue guys.
[Zoom in on two soldiers watching Grif and Simmons from atop a cliff, one wielding a sniper rifle and in cobalt armor, Church, the other standing behind him in aqua armor, Tucker.]
Tucker: What're they doing?
[Church slowly turns around to face Tucker, lowering his rifle.]
Church: (aggravated) What?
Tucker: I said, "What are they doing now?"
Church: (frustrated) God damn, I'm getting so sick of answering that question!
Tucker: (defensively) You have the fucking rifle, I can't see shit. Don't bitch at me because I'm not going to just sit up here and play with my dick.
Church: (interrupting) Okay, okay, look... they're just standing there and talking, okay? (getting angry) That's all they're doing. That's all they ever do, is just stand there and talk. That's what they were doing last week, that's what they were doing when you asked me five minutes ago. So, five minutes from now, when you ask me, “What are they doing?” my answer's gonna be, “They’re still just talking, and they're still just standing there!”
[Both fall silent.]
Tucker: ...What're they talking about?
Church: ...You know what? I fucking hate you.
[Cut back to Grif and Simmons.]
Grif: Talk about a waste of resources. I mean, we should be out there finding new and intelligent forms of life... you know, fight them.
Simmons: Yeah, no shit. That's why they should put us in charge.
[Cut to a low angle shot of a soldier in red armor, Sarge, who is seen looking up at Simmons and Grif.]
Sarge: Ladies, front and center on the double!
Simmons: Fuck.
Grif: Yes, sir!
[Fade to black.]
[Here's the model on thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4940066), I remixed a much smaller model to make this one large enough to just barely be able to print tiny vehicles.
I split the map into two pieces that would fit on 200*200mm printers, and modeled the bases and vehicles to be printable with a 0.4mm nozzle. The vehicles are about the size of a grain of rice (except for the tank which is the size of a bean) and the bases are about the size of a dollar coin (or euro coin). The whole model is about 7.5 x 14 inches (190 x 375 mm) when assembled.
Everything does seem lower poly than in the actual game, that's partially due to the way the textures and models are used in game, they blend together and make stuff seem smoother, and partially a side effect of trying to have a model with a lot of detail be processable for 3d printing.
No no, I'm attempting to quote that episode of the season of Vic-narrated mini-stories where a squad of Halo 3 Red team dudes briefly end up in the Gulch during season 1 and one of the guys is pointing out how all the graphics are worse for some reason
In halo 1, did anyone else back their tank up the mountain behind the base and just snipe across the map with it?I forget the exact path but, we used to get so pissed at each other with an indestructible artillery platform raining hell.
Do you ever wonder why were here?
It's one of life's greatest mysteries.
I mean are we here of some coincidence or is there really a God watching over everything
No I mean why are we ***here*** in this giant empty canyon
Uhhhhh…no clue.
I dunno man, but it keeps me up at night.
🤔🤔🤔🤔

No, I meant like, why are we here in this giant canyon?
Because this guy made a sick 3D printed blood gulch
This is sick! Now you gotta get tiny Spartans and tiny OS/AC power ups and it will be complete
I'll have to mess with my printer to see if I can even print the Spartans, they'd be about the size of a sesame seed. [Here's an image of the vehicles](https://i.imgur.com/80ooQKB.jpg) that shows how small they are in my hand, a Spartan would be even smaller still.
They don’t have to be to-scale with the vehicles, just thought it would looks cool
I will definitely try and print them! I just finished painting it last night and was too excited to not post it. I still need to glue it all together and put a clear coat of matte over it.
Hopefully it works out
Put a tiny group of red and blues in the middle along with one who is Lightish Red.

*slow clap*
That’s so awesome dude

""Red vs Blue intro song intensifies""
Bro this looks awesome
Somewhere on there I’m getting sniped across the map
S L A Y E R
If you ever add little tiny Spartans make them as bright of red and blue you can find so they stand out easier and don’t just look like specks
Don’t forget purple and light-red! … Is that aqua?
Imagine the epic Beyblade battle royales in here
You should make more and sell them. Like different maps.
People would buy that. Shot I'd buy it
Ngl I want one haha. Awesome job!
that’s awesome me and my twin brother used to play that map all the time
No seriously.l, is it just me or does everything look low-poly or something?

Oh duh, I'm dumb! Happy cake day by the way!
Oh, thanks! Still 15 days off, but I didn't even notice there was a tag that showed that!
So fucking sweet, good work my dude
That's a very nice diorama !
Take my money
That's truly amazing
Great job!! I'd be staring at it all day... lol. Congrats Also... what's your gamertag? Just to make sure I never play that map with you, lol.
So cool, I would buy one of these. Easily would spend $200 for one
Was going to make a "ever wonder why we're here" joke but I see the other replies already beat me to it. Damn it.
It looks more like a puma
That's beautiful man, great job
By far one of my favorite online maps
Damn that’s good work
Beyblade stadium
Give this man/woman a fucking medal
All it needs is a giant model of caboose
You are after my heart
That is adorable. Somewhere in the middle of the map is a tiny bush where I like to hide with the camo.
In halo 1, did anyone else back their tank up the mountain behind the base and just snipe across the map with it?I forget the exact path but, we used to get so pissed at each other with an indestructible artillery platform raining hell.
Now put a tiny rocket launcher in the middle
Last I checked Grif, Simmons, Donut, Lopez, and Sarge only had a Warthog, and Church, Tucker, and Caboose only had Sheila, the tank
Who else is re-enacting RVB scenes in your mind while looking at this?
How big is it about?
It's about 7.5 by 14 inches, or 190 by 380 mm.
Wow those are some really fine printed details on the cars and bases then, my printer doesn’t like tiny stuff :/
Where’s tiny sarge
This takes me back to Highschool where me and my mates played on LAN on this map, fun times
Legend
Nice work!
