With its sleek anti-gravity racers, pounding EDM soundtrack, and unmatched sense of speed, the Wipeout series remains one of the UK’s most beloved video game exports. Sebastian Arts brings the adrenaline rush to LEGO with his eminently cool Feisar FX250-300 racing ship. Everything about the presentation is ace, from the stellar color blocking to the custom stickers to the smaller- scale racers on the stand to the slick graphic design that frames the models.
Up close you can better appreciate the color blocking, largely accomplished with 2×2 triangle tiles, expertly maintained across curves in the fuselage and wings. And let’s take a moment to appreciate the stickers, designed by Sebastian based on Feisar team branding and in-fiction sponsors like Icom and Ignition, and printed by Brick Sticker Shop. I appreciate the inclusion of a few Monkey Kid stickers to keep the LEGO connection.
A view from behind shows a bit of texturing on the otherwise sleek build. A Power Miner rim provides the racer’s thrust.
A larger scale allows for a detailed interior. The plush chair, made from ingots in dark orange, should offer the Feisar pilot some comfort against the G-forces. This angle also highlights Sebastian’s judicious use of studs to provide a bit of texture and embrace the LEGO aesthetic.
This isn’t the first time Sebastian’s speeders have caught our eye. He also gave the UCS treatment to Solo’s Landspeeder. When Sebastian feels the need for speed in LEGO, he’s in a league of his own.
