[LDD MOC] Space ninjas - Whitefang

[Bob De Quatre]

"The Kaze clan is famous for their "Sen renga no Ryû"-class fighter, who overclass every other fighters both in speed and agility.

Jun Takaeda, leader of the Kaze clan, pilots the Whitefang, one of the first Sen renga Ryû ever built.

The Kaze clan rebelled against the tyrannous Karogo, leader of the Ishi clan, who took control of the Space ninjas world thanks to its swarm of

dragon riders."

Took a break today from my next LDD project to build something else. I really wanted to build for my Space ninjas theme

And because I like the colorscheme, here is Goldenfang

Hey, it's what happens when you cross a Zerg Hydralisk with a spacecraft. Very cool; a nice blend of mechanical and organic.

Reminds me of the Basilisk fighters the Mandalorians from Star Wars fly in the comics.

Very cool. I don't have the parts to build these (or anything like them) in real life - but nicely done. Would they hold up, structurally, in the brick?

Eitherway, I really enjoy the underbellies of the dragons and the engines on the wings.

Thanks. I tried to cross an hydralisk with a terran spacecraft once... didn't go very well

I've never seen those fighters, I'll have to take a look.

Getting the parts will be very hard, since the dragon head don't exist in plain color. I'm not sure if the structure would hold in real brick. I think it will, but the S shape won't

Thanks! It's always nice to receive praises from bots

Did some minor changes to the cockpit/head area, and did a comparison between two rendering styles:

Also I modified the original model to make it more bricklinkable... But there are still some rares pieces, like obviously the dragon head

Once more a beautiful, original masterpiece of spacecraft design! You never faul to surprise with thise superb curves to give your models that extra organic tint. On this one, I especially like different curve pieces on the sides that evoque scales perfectly. The motors, on the other hand, seem a bit thrown on... is there a way you could integrate those more into the body? Than you could use them as shoulders, or bulging muscles at the same time. Just some ideas...

So congrats with your fantastic model! I bet there's a super-duper cannon or even a flamethrower hidden inside that head...

There is no space in the body to integrate anything, but I slightly changed how they the wings are attached.

And at a time, I actually put a big flamethrower inside the head with the tip just between the front teeth

Did some minor changes so that it is actually bricklinkable in some color combinations. White and light bluish gray is I think the best and cheapest (approx 130$ all new).

Woah, very nice! Though I like the gold one slightly more... this is still amazing!

Thanks, but as I said, the golden one isn't buildable... but is still very pretty

[Sir Brickalot]

Awesome... I love it!

[Bob De Quatre]

Awesome... I love it!

Thanks Sir

Awesome fighter :thumbup: The shape is simply amazing, as well as uncommon

Thanks Wedge. I try to build uncommon things each time.

[Renjiru]

Eyecandy with a little rough edge!

[Bipin]

The shaping is phenomenal!

[legoknight00]

beautiful, awesome designs, but again, the ldd file would be nice, for both, please

[burlogh]

Beautiful! Have you checked how much money should be spend to build it? :) If you could share the LDD file, it would be awesome!

Thanks. The white and grey version cost around 100-120$ (without port).

I won't share the LDD file for now, since I want to be sure it can really be build. If when build it holds together and don't fall apart, I'll try to do proper instructions.

hey, Bob, this should be called "Space Cobra" - definitely!

And again I can say I like it for its abstracts shape of "S" and the lower part fuselage
