I don’t make many MOC contributions, but when I do, I try to make them good. If you are a fan of the famous racing game series called Wipeout I’m sure you’ll like these. I have 4 out of 5 ships completed. You’ll only see 3 in here though since the fourth (Quirex), while finished, is in a god-awful color scheme and I don’t want it to be seen untill I can clean it up a bit.

Untill then, enjoy the pictures of the Feisar, Auricom, and AG-systems craft from the F-5000 circut of wipeout. They’re all display models however and do not have “playable” interiors. All of them (except the Quirex) use cutout parts to some degree. However, in my defense, 90% of them are there to emulate parts that DO exist but not in the colors I need. (IE: 2 x 3 wedge plates in yellow, blue and red) Enjoy!!!

I will be selling these three soon since I need money. My college years are near. VERY near........

Alexander, These look pretty good- I’m not familiar with the game, but the shapes are pleasing enough.

But WHY would you cut up so many good pieces for one specific model? If you really want the model that accurate, may I suggest polystyrene kitbashing and scratch-building?

I believe the joy and challenge of LEGO bricks is to use the parts they offer and come as close as possible to the shape of your original (real or envisioned).

Good luck selling these.... somewhere....

I am not doing anything THAT radical. The most "severe" (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
