This map has been a long time in the making. Originally it was built to be a slayer map housing one or two dioramas but from there the project grew. I continued to come up with ideas for new details to add and decided to create a "museum" to house the various dioramas and aesthetics. Inspiration came from the Halo 3 ad "Monument of a Hero" which shows a miniature battlefield built to honor Master Chief. Above is a video I made using the audio from that commercial combined with shots of the map. All credit for the audio and opening quote go to the makers of the commercial.

This is the main diorama.

On the left hand side are the majority of the covenant troops including two scarabs. Vehicles can be seen on the ground as well as several cruisers in the distance. There are also some shields present as seen in the campaign mission in Halo Reach.

On the right is the human airfield base. Fighters hang in the sky above and anti-aircraft guns point towards the incoming covenant force.

In another part of the museum, various UNSC warthogs are on display.

A full scale anti-aircraft gun has also been created in the back of the museum flanked by rows of weapons.

The next diorama is a peaceful scene of a city. Train tracks cover the spawrling, grassy hills. One of the trains can be seen travelling along the railway.

A closer shot of the tracks. Here you can see an overpass allowing travel over the two other tracks below. A train emerges from the tunnel on the left.

The third main diorama portrays the battle which took place in New Mombasa. Covenant ships fire upon the city in the background.

A cinematic view with the slipspace rupture appearing in the middle of the city.

There is also a bathroom in one of the side passages of the museum. It includes sinks, urinals, and a row of toilet stalls.

Below is a brief walkthrough of the map:
