Which Halo models are you looking for? My son is a Halo fan, so I made him the little MasterChief that was the official model. Also, JBowen's Warthog, a MasterChief helmet, have downloaded but not built McDermott's MasterChief and Cortana, and did the mini pelican, but not the big one.
I could probably point you in the right direction.
BTW, the Wayback Machine might be your friend with this

With the warthog model, how easy is it to modify sets with improved texture? Im fine with the model as a whole but i think the tires could use a upgrade. Would it be as simple as re texturing in Photoshop or is there more to it?

I was thinking the same thing, but went a different route. I'd seen this image  and decided I could fake a better tread pattern for the wheels by making a bunch of little rectangles out of black construction paper and tediously gluing them on. It did look good, but retexturing would probably make it look just as good, or nearly so, without all that tedious gluing. I do like the 3d effect that my method gave. If I remember correctly that file is a jpg or something else that is easily modified. I'd like to see what you come up with. |

You could always try something like this just to add depth without all the gluing  |

It was about the fifth or sixth model in my career, so I was rather proud of my major pain of an accomplishment ... LOL.
That looks pretty good. Any chance of getting them more round, though? Those wheels would almost inspire me to do another warthog

I'd like to see those wheels assembled. It looks to me like the corners just emphasize the agressive tread. At most it might need a bump from 10 faces to 12 or 16. I think the image VK posted has 16 "cogs". Rotating squares to automatically create tabs is a cool idea for those of us who don't use unfolding software.
Thanks for sharing!

Looks like the rear tires in the picture have 16 facets. That would be exeptional.

I too would love to know of some other Halo papercraft models, specifically the ships. I have yet to find a single Covenant ship model, and this depresses me.
