Scratchbuilt Wipeout Feisar ship (Round Two)

Thank you all.
So far, the decals are good. One is peeling just a tiny little bit. I can probably rub a little white glue on it or something like that. I hope they do all stay.
I still can't believe I made this.
In the middle of typing this, my step-son came in and I showed him. At 16, its hard to impress someone like him. He said, wow, looks like something you would buy in the store.
I have this itch to go play some Wipeout now. haha

It might be seven years old but it's a dam fine build and worth commenting on..
Simply Amazing!
What's even more Amazing is that Psygnosis/Sony never released these as a kit! (As far as I know)
I'd love to see a show based around the WipeOut series, I still play it from time to time.

Thanks. Can't believe its been 7 years already. And yeah, something like this could have made a really awesome kit.
As for a show or movie, I had always thought the first few pages of the booklet (badly scanned here) would be the absolute perfect setup. A show would probably work out better. I think the first few episodes would be these scientists developing the technology and could be done in a similar way the first Iron Man showed him building his suit over time and trying out different things.
I always loved the behind story and seemed slightly reminiscent of F1 racing but with greater risks.
I'm off to buy some cintra/styrene for another project later but tempted to have a go at one..
Its funny that, after I built mine, I've now ran into serval people who have built one, and its always the Feisar team.
I think the Piranha team would make a cool one as well, with its red and yellow colors.
Not paying attention, I guess.
I check here all the time and still end up missing whole entire builds that turn out really awesome.
Also, does anyone know whatever happend to Mike J?
He actually helped a lot back when I was working on this, but I see he hasn't logged in, in over two years now.
You never know if some drastic happened to a person, or they have been too busy to check back here.

Yep you got that one rite, I will start paying more attention I have been trying hard on that one. And sence I have I have seen some very cool stuff some of that being yours Thanks Friend Jim
That was literally the hardest to fly but once mastered Oh Boy did it win races..
I could see that detaching off the top of a larger craft's fuselageFinished!!!!
So.....heres a bazillion pics from different angles.
The stand. Thanks to Mike J for that final layout.
Thats really awesome. Its sad what happened with the team who made Wipeout and their relationship with Sony. I forget all the details, but it was something that ended up not being so great and they all left, but Sony owned the IP type thing.
So they went on to make a spiritual successor, which started out being called Formula Fusion. I actually wrote to them over this built, which they thought was really awesome, and even sent me a T-shirt that said, Formula Fusion, but on the condition that, at the time, I didn't mention it.
The game had major delays and they even renamed it, Pacer, which to me doesn't sound as cool.
It finally got a full release on October 29th, 2020, but with only average ratings. One of these days I plan to buy and play through it, just keep getting to busy with a million projects or other games.
I agree with you about all the projects, then th
IMO it foreshadowed too many of their flagship games..
Heck we played that one game for months and months, well along with Destruction Derby both perfect playable games..
Now there's a challenge a diorama of exploding cars lol.
Drawing I made many many years ago, long before I made this model.
