Nelson, This is great stuff. It definitely does not disappoint. Your attention to detail is especially commendable. I really like the way the 4 vigs combine to create a single bulding that also seems to conform to the "classic space" guidelines. is (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Nicely played! And, thankfully, nothing genetailia-inspired. :-) James Wilson (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Very cool all around. The weapons bay door that entirely blocks the pilot's view is a bit questionable, but you can't have everything, eh? I love the hidden weapons on both ships. Great detailing on the probe as well. All of the models are (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi there semi-lurker here. Good show, great MOCs. You are helping restore my faith in this News Group :). (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Nice models and nice storyboard. I think it might take you a while to tell the complete saga! We need to know how his father died, why he is fed up with the direction the Jade Empire is taking, and most importantly, how is he going to save them from (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.space)

(...) It did NOT disappoint, Nelson. Cool stuff! Great comic with some dramatic tension and everything. The Jin Jui really fits the Jadist theme and I liked the 'refitted' version of it. They have a similar shape but both are clearly different, that (...) (19 years ago, 17-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the props! In building Yamane's apartment, my goal was to make a small, confined quarters aboard some larger Jade Empire ship (or building), therefore I made the entrance similar to a moonbase module door.

(...) Thanks for the story ideas! I hope that I'll see someone else try a MOC using this faction. BTW, I based the colors for 'Rising Suns' on the PCS subtheme, but changed the blue accents to dark red/red. There are smoke windows; greys and black (...)

(...) Riii-iight, because, you know, Japanese Science Fiction and Human Genetalia have nothing in common. Sorry Jim, but if you didn't want this to go in that direction, you should have just left it alone. Damien (19 years ago, 18-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I should clarify that it was indeed the "Weapon R" reference from modern import tuning that gave the name its clever twist, regardless of weather it was (...)

Nice story. I'm curious to see the style of other craft of the Rising Suns. The idea of converting one ship into another is neat, and though I think the original started out a little too sports-car-ish, it made for a nice conversion that clearly (...) (19 years ago, 21-Sep-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hey Nelson, Cool story and even cooler ship transformation! Great lighting on the close-ups, and great angles for such small spaces. I also liked how you mixed scale with your photoshopping. Yours is one the best garagy-lookin' garages I've seen in (...) (19 years ago, 22-Sep-05, to lugnet.space)
