  New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
Hey guys, I figured I'd been out of the loop for long enough and needed to throw some bricks together. Here's what I got: The Irezumi - Jade Empire Fighter (click the pic) (URL) My intent with this craft was to try to create a bit of middle ground (...)

  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Really nice model, Chris. The shape of it is really appealing. I enjoy how organic-looking the JE stuff people are presenting is. The little zemi-bot on back is a nice addition too. I like the spamcake power-core detail, but placing such (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
C-Mad, I think this is the best JE moc so far...there is so much to like about this one. It looks good from every angle, but the nose is especially erotic. I really dig the use of the dino-tails that Ryan encoprated in his moc, and also the power (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Thanks Phil. I find it pretty challenging to make a machine that looks organic. I remember back when Gil was doing his Vox stuff, I was just blown away by how...living and breathing the crafts looked. So I always try to throw a little bit of (...)

  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Yo Keith. Thanks for the monster compliment. Like I said, the idea in my head was for the front end, and I just went from there. The dino tails were a must from the get-go, had to swipe that from Ryan. As for the power drills, I was trying (...) (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
This is extremely cool! It fits perfectly in the Jade Empire theme, but it also represents your trademark (and famous) fighter-craft style. Build lots more stuff like it! (21 years ago, 24-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) I clicked, and I was floored. What an outstanding moc. I gotta side with Keith, this is the best rendition of JE we've seen yet. I really like the organic-yet-mechanical look and feel of the whole thing, and that you managed to get the dino (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Thanks Kyle. I've got a couple more ideas floating around, maybe you'll see a couple more JE mocs in the near future. -Chris (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Thanks Ryan. Those dino tails are just perfect for this style of building; I'm glad you thought of it. :-) I can't wait to see what you're going to come up with. Certainly it will trump my little ship. :-) (...) Yeah, Jon is always good for (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) I think you succeeded very well. JE's style is really filling out and looking good. This fighter looks amazingly well thought-out, with just the right amount of style and detail. Bravo, Chris! Can't wait to see more. -Lenny (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Chris, Awesome craft and craftsmanship (apart from that which is inherent to the brick already). I have to agree with everyone else that this is the best JE ship to date. The design, details, and sweetness of it are plain (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Thanks Lenny. Not so sure about well thought out; it pretty much fell into place. But I can say this is the first ship I haven't built in only one or two sittings, this one evolved over the course of about a week. So maybe the extra time spent (...)

  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Thanks Andrew. High fructose corn syrupy huh? That's a new one. :-) -Chris (21 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
Dude, excellent model. It has a Marauder from Buck Rogers meets a Romulan thing going for it that I really like. Love the techno organic feel plus the shmoovenes. Good to have ya in da space. ~^- (URL) ~^- Admiral Giddens <>< (URL) space. ~^- (URL) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Awlright! Looking forward to your return to building, and looks like it was well worth the wait. Great stuff man...that fine balance between tech and creeping oogieness has been achieved. I really love how you've used the old skool overall (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) snip Way to return to the loop, Chris. This is another 'me too' post. This is a great MOC. The 'reversed' wings give it a very focussed, aggressive feel. The tails and whiskers give it a crustaceanesque(1) quality that's sure to be a Jade (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Hey, thanks Chris. I didn't see the Romulan thing until you mentioned it, but it does have that feel, eh? Shmoove. I love that word. :-) (URL) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Gil, what up! Oogieness? Man, people are just on a verbal tear today. :-) I like the way you put it - flying T smooshed with curves. With this one, it was all about the organics - I did quite a bit of looking at the other JE ships, other (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) The Earwig! That's what I should have called it. Oh well. :-) I never thought of the JE as crustacean, but it does make sense. Sort of a shellfish meets random bug combination...or something. (...) Yeah, I'm a big fan of the sand green. And (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
Awesome! This is the coolest JE moc to date. I love the dragon-esque look it has. It looks like one of those ships that leads others into combat, and then kicks butt! Wonderful job! Now I've got to find a way to incorporate dino tails into my JE (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Thanks Chris. Dragonesque was exactly the influence I was trying to draw from. I like the idea of it being a command ship of some sort - like there's a less armed, less sleek Irezumi, and this is the Special Edition or something. Can't wait to (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) I know I'm coming in late on this, but this really is a sweet ship. Very swoosh-able, clean lines, great color distribution. Definitely a template for Jade Empire ships, and--as you say--a nice blend in style to match previous JE MOCs. Derek (21 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New JE MOC: Irezumi Fighter
 
(...) Yo Derek, thanks man. Actually, it's not all that swooshable. The front is pretty fragile, but at least it looks like it could zoom around a bit. Anyways, hey...do me a favor. Tell your mom I said hi. :-) -Chris (21 years ago, 30-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
