The Crimson Blade is an excellent strike fighter with a heavy torpedo tube in the base, capable of lobbing multiple Nova Bombs into a target and can take down most heavy cruisers in a shot or two if placed right. The newest addition to my fleet, this took probably about 2 hours to build, and was inspired by my hand accidentally picking up a windshield and my deciding to build an entire MOC around it :grin:

I'm really in love with this model for some reason, excited by the way it turned out! Hope you all enjoy it :grin: Constructive criticism welcomed.

I like it, well done!
I love the angles of the wings - are they permanently like that, or can they be adjusted? I find getting such angles difficult, and when I do manage them they're never static so I for one find that very impressive.
One thing I would do differently, though is try to find away to make the transition from red to dark red at the rear of the craft a little smoother, perhpaps by using smaller slope pieces or maybe some tiles on the top - unless of course the sudden change is a deliberate part of the design.
I've never seen that cockpit in that colour before, either. Must be from my dark ages.
Nice work.

They are actually adjustable so the entire thing can go straight while its landing or being stored in a space crafts hangar, and also the dark red sudden transition is on purpose to try and get a sharp contrast^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know its one of my personal favorites now :grin: And the cockpit was actually from the Ogel sets when he is in the squid sub :sweet:

Ah, right. Good idea. I always fail at landing gear/ wings in my MOCs, so much respect for that.
I had my suspiscions that's where the cockpit piece came from - it just reeks of Ogel!

Interesting space fighter, 'Fires-Storm', is a single seater ?, does it carry lasers or plasma cannon and finally is it really pink or is it just the lighting when you took the photos ?
Anyway, great build, looks really great so keep on bricking 'Fires-Storm' keep on bricking ! :sweet:

in order:

1:yup, one seat, no more room after all those weapons :tongue:

2:Laser, most people don't realize, but I think since plasma is heat-based its only really usable on land......I think since most plasma I know is heated wouldn't it rapid freeze in space?

annnnnd 3: Yeah, I HATE florescent lighting because its a dickens to get a natural color with a camera phone, but the true color scheme is red/dark red/black, with some dark gray here and there :classic:

Thanks for the compliment, and glad you liked it :grin:
