All I see here is the new version. Am I nuts?

Well I'm honestly very opposed to brick modification. I always think that
with enough work you can get the bricks to work for you like they are. But
I'll admit you did get some good angles.

I do think you got a good shape out of it but I can also imagine this craft
built with the bricks 'sideways', totally smooth. I'm not a total stud snob
(I think the right amount of studs can break up a smooth surface) but this
MOC would look even sleeker if it were SNOTed as much as possible. All
smooth with a tiny amount of greebs showing through cracks in certain areas.
For the record, I *loved* the first 2 Wipeout games. I've always wanted to
build one of these, maybe I should give it a try.
