The NEW(-ish) Flare Wolf Project!

Hello there! 

Seeing as there’s less than a week left on this, I submitted a new Flare Wolf project, which was almost two months ago. Eh, timing. Anyways, the new one looks much nicer and has updated designs. So if you haven’t already, please support it hereBut thanks to all of you who have supported my creation and did think that it would make a pretty decent Lego set! 

Thanks again for all the support on this! It’s been a fun year. :)

Even better wings!

Hello, fellow supporters!

 

I have updated this project so much. There has been a whole slew of revisions since the original model. And I have another one.

I raised the wings up a little bit more, to look better with the turbines.

The changes are visible in this picture

And I was able to add in those 1.5X2 pieces in there again.

 

I hope you like these updates, and be sure to check out some of my other projects!

This is it.

Hello, fellow supporters!

I have completed the conversion of the wings to SNOT on the Flare Wolf Space Fighter. I must say, it turned out even better than I was expecting! See for yourself!

I even added new spring-loaded missiles to the wings as well.

Well, that's all! But be sure to check out and support my other projects!

P.S.

I've read the comments you guys have put on here, and I've noticed that a few of you have mentioned that this looks like a Colonial Viper from the TV show Battlestar Galactica. I've heard of that show, but I've never watched it. However, I recently did decided to get into it, and binge-watched the original series on Netflix. I can now agree with you that the resemblance between a Viper and my Flare Wolf is indeed uncanny. Thanks for making me a fan! :)

I'd also like to note that I made a Colonial Viper on LDD (Lego Digital Designer) and will upload it here as soon as I can figure out how to render images. For those that have rendered LDD images, I have a few questions. How long does it usually take to render an image? And are there any settings to make it easier to render images, or to at least make it so my computer doesn't freeze up? Is the computer freezing up normal? I am using POV-Ray v3.7. Thanks.

New Stuff

Hello, fellow supporters!

I come with a few minor updates a possibly a big one. Possibly. It depends.

Here we go.

I replaced a 1X4 with a 1X3 on the wing, which makes the edge look less choppy and more uniform.

And I changed the bottom area again with some 1.5X2 pieces to go along with the sides of the intakes.

That's the small stuff, now the possible major stuff. 

And I'm also working on making the wings SNOT, which could be amazing. Here are some ideas of what it would look like.

It's nothing permanent yet, I'm still working on perfecting it as a side project until it does become perfect.

Here's a comparison of the SNOT and regular wings. (Left side : regular :: Right side : SNOT)

Detailed Intakes

Hello, fellow supporters!

I have come with another great update! The two front air intakes have been updated greatly, using tiles and SNOT techniques. 

Here are the pictures. 

I also made the back a bit wider, which streamlined with the turbines more, and let me add an angled 1X2 behind the turbine as well.

Another revision I made was the area between the two intakes, and the bottom of the Flare Wolf.

Better Flick-Fire Missiles and 90 supporters!

Hello, fellow supporters, which there are 90 of on this project!

 

Wow! 90 supporters! Almost 1% of the way there! We can do this! 

 

I also have another update for the Flare Wolf. 

In the last update, I added Flick-Fire missiles, but the system I devised looked a bit bulky and square (even though Legos are basically squares).

Here is the revision.

And yes, in case if you were wondering, they are flickable. Sometimes I find that Flick-Fires on some sets aren't easy to flick. 

Oh yeah, I changed the outfit of the pilot too.

Flick-Fire Missiles

Hello, fellow supporters!

The Flare Wolf is cool looking and sleek and stylish, and it does have cool features. It has landing gear, a storage space, and adjustable wings in the back, but I felt like that wasn't enough. Thus, I took it upon myself to add Flick-Fire missiles to the underside of the wings.

I also added translucent blue dishes in the turbines for an excellent blue glow.

I hope you like these updates!

50 supporters and even more new things!

Hello, fellow supporters!

Yes, this is another update, and just in time for fifty supporters! Woo-hoo! Thanks, guys!

Anyways, I did make some more changes, and they make the Flare Wolf look even better. It's what I do, just trying to see what looks best, and make things work better. 

Here are the changes:

The vents on the sides of the intakes.

Better pictures of the laser cannons on the insides of the intakes.

The landing gear recesses even more into the hull.

 

The storage space is changed, because the landing gear in the back needed space to go into the hull, but I fixed that and there is still decent space.

Another landing gear picture.

 

And I just like this picture. 

I hope you like these updates, and be sure to check out my other projects and my Facebook Page, where I have updates and other useful things besides Lego Ideas projects. But I just started it, so there's barely anything on there.

Better looking and working things!

Hello fellow supporters! 

I made some cool revisions to the Flare Wolf Space Fighter, and they really make it much better than what is used to be.

Such revisions are:

New stable landing gear that uses newer pieces than what was previously installed.

The area where the cockpit window meets the roof is now streamlined.

More storage area in the back.

Gun designs on the sides of the intakes are better. 

I hope you like these changes.

Thanks for the support!
