Weta Workshop is well known for their use of "Bigatures," models of places so large that using the term "miniature" is an oxymoron. Such places include the Helms Deep set and the Minas Tirith set (constructed for the ''Lord of the Rings'' films, both built in the same exact place. It may have been that bigatures would have been created of areas on Halo for the film.
