[MOC] Space Ninjas - Whitefang

Recommended Posts

"The members of the Kaze clan are wise and skilled warriors, that always try to avoid a conflict if it is possible, but don’t step back if if it is inevitable.

Their Draconid is really fast and agile, with decent shields and good firepower. It is called Whitefang."

Ohhhh!! Wow! It looks real nice and the choice of name is even better. :grin:

Excellent sci-fi creation. Love the contour of your built.

Yikes, getting those curves must have been hard!! It looks really good though and the simple colour scheme does work brilliantly!!

Thanks all :blush:

Building the curves was easy... The hard part was to make it maintain it's shape while gravity just tries to make it crumble... I may take a picture of the internal structure if people are interrested.

Awesome design! The curves, colors and story are great! It's nice to see a space/ninja combination. A tutorial on how you did the curves would be very appriciated! : D

Very nice looking ship! You really do an excellent job with all the curves, be it in LDD or real LEGO. Great job!

Thanks :blush:

Here is a little LDD screenshot to explain how I did the curves:

The two rightmost builds are different solution I tried to reinforce the links and keep the S shape. I ended up using the rightmost one, with 3 flex hoses. In the center technic holes I first placed a black string (part 16542) before putting the flex hose, so it stays firmly in place.

I'll take pictures when I'll disassemble the Whitefang, or when it'll crumble due to gravity... :wink:

It looked a bit strange at first, but after all it it ended up to look cool. I think i saw a earlier version of it without the wings. I imaged that it could stretch out when flying. :classic:

Thanks for the LDD with the different curve techniques. I'll have to give these a try.

Ninjas in SPACE!

As almost all previous speakers have mentioned, the curves are amazing. Is the whole thing stable? Is it possible to touch it without causing any damage?

You can want it, but it's not gonna happens :grin:

This one was so hard to build, but the others would be even harder I think. Plus some bricks/color combination I used don't exists...

Plus it would cost me a lot more than I can spent :look:

Its so freaking organic looking! You think you could use some ball joints to actually allow for some spine movement?

The ball joints are too big to fit inside the segments :sceptic:
