Well designed NEOS ship.

This is one of my favorite fighters on mocpages. Color scheme is cool. And I like the wombpit. Especially this canopy. It's very hard to use, but you incorporated it well.

Wow. This is sooo good! The whole design is really intriguing. I love the landing gear and the way you integrated it into the wings. I also really like the black and yellow thing. It stands out in a good way!

looks awesome, reminds me of a delta-7 Jedi interceptor.

Very Nice Shaping In This MOC, And I'm Digging The Color Scheme, Simple, Yet Effective. Oh, Also, I Feel Like I Should Let You Know I Updated The Urocyon, http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/262316

Good observation there, it's actually probably the biggest influence with this build. The concept looked like a dart even more so, I deviated a little bit from my original plan, but I'm glad it still came through. Thanks for commenting!

nice use of angles. this reminds me of a dart from stargate atlantis

Thanks man, I won't let you down.

I HAD to add you to my favorites, because I'm missing WAY too many of these fabulous builds! Amazing angles, shapes, and patterns on the wings. The...pit linings were great accents.

Thats so AWSOME! You are so AWSOME! Incredible!

cool ship :)

I know crazy! If I had stayed closer to my sketch, the angle in the front would have been more extreme, looking like a Wraith Dart with a HUGE engine on the backend. After finishing, it looks like a Jedi Starfighter/Colonial Viper Hybrid to me. Good observations, I went with the one gun to try and throw in a bit of asymmetry into the mix. I think that particular gun is just a little to eye catching to work...there's been a few comments on it. If I do revisit this MOC I'll be sure to fix the gun. Thanks for the advice!

Personally, I love your fighter, Ced. Now the only thing that makes it less than perfect (though I do dig your landing gear and the overall shape of your vessel) is that it needs another gun up in the front. Perhaps you could offer a heavy fighter version of this particular craft and add a gun or two on the left side of your ship? Also, congratulations on getting noticed at Brick Pop.

How come I missed this? Anyway, this is truly EPIC Ced! Comparable in Awesomenss to your Tempest... I'd say my favorite part of this ship is the ingenious landing gear, closely followed by the elegant wing design, and that cool side gun. I don't care what people say about the side gun making it look lopsided, I love it!

Woot! Thanks for the heads up!!

You've been BLOGGED! http://brickpop.com/2011/03/14/neos-rapier-by-ced-the-clever/ Congratulations!

I can't believe I haven't seen your stuff before! Your name is well deserved, Ced. Your works are indeed clever! The all look great, and have some really cool techniques! Way to go!

Nice shape and colorscheme.

Dang, that's a slick ship.

Cool and sleek! I especially like the underside.

Awesome ship! Looks like a pipmped up version of the Jedi Starfighter.

Boh boh boh boh !!!!! That's a shape !! I'd like to steal this one too !!!!

Excellent work, it's so sleek yet very well greebled. Another brilliant build, Ced. Keep it up!

Thanks everyone, some very nice and supportive comments. And a lot on the landing gear of all things, thank you! For me they aren't my favorite for a couple reasons. I did actually think about them off and on over a 2 day period, though I wasted a lot of time, since I basically came back to my first thought, which was to use the robot arms, they are more flexible than a lot of other solutions. Another reason is that I originally wanted to put 4-6 appendages, but had to reduce it to the typical X-wing type 3. Its a bit of a failure for me. Though I do really appreciate the thoughts. As for the cheese wedges Shawn, I was starting to miss them for angular models like this, so I just ordered 50 of the 3 colors. A good investment I think, I always seem to not have enough.

Haha, I agree, not helped by the fact that he has the snow goggles on, looks rather cold. The idea to use that type of cockpit, shoved into the technic wings, sealed by the rubber pieces was one of the first ideas I had. It does look cool, but doesn't offer too much space to work. Perhaps a different color though? I do have an orange one as well, I'll try it out to see how the colors go together. Thanks.

Thank you sir, The gun was one of my least favorite achievements here. I'll keep your thoughts in mind for my future MOC's, this one will most likely not see a V2.

I really like those colors together. Very sleek clean build. I wish I had that many cheese slopes you used on the front. Landing gear turned out great too.

Very cool, i like it! Great design, and cool landing gear.

mmmmm this is so nice!! the only thing im not in love with is the fact that the pilot looks to be frozen in a cryogenic chamber. but everything else is great!

Very nice indeed! Really like the front landing gear. Cheers!

Cool fighter! I love the design overall and the color scheme is great! Love the landing gear set up also. Great ship!

That is a good fighter, but to me it seems a bit lopsided with the extra large gun on one side. I'd recommend using a smaller more streamlined gun on each side. Very nice, and a creative design for the wings! :)

Can I take it home? Please! I'll feed and wash and play ball with it! Jokes apart, this is one of the best fighters I've seem around since Ijoined MOC Pages. The angles are smooth, the shape is perfect, looks like an arrow. The underbelly details are freaking awesome and the turbines are great. Ced, I salute you!

Wow Ced I really like this Rapier. I think one of the best parts is the landing gear you put together. Very simple but works great! Im really gonna have to experiment with landing gear myself. Great use of colors as well. Keep on building the simple designs like you said it looks great!!!!

Wicked! Great landing gear set up, too. Looks awesome!

Thanks! It works really well with this design, I can't promise they'll all be exactly this smooth (head hurts), but it was a really important comment and lesson I felt. Thanks again!

Totally! You should see me go....actually no you shouldn't....lol, thanks for stoppin by.

Thanks Jason! I do really try to do things a little different than the norms, sometimes it works well, others not so much.

So awesome!

I love te shape to this bad boy! Check this out if you have time http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/257304

Now, THIS is what I'm talking about! You did a FINE job on the simplicity! I'm loving the overall shape and layout. Can't wait to see more from you! 5/5

Swoosh factor 10.~H

That's a very interesting design. The gun is uniquely placed. ^Blub^
