[MOC] World Racers, tribute 2024

Maybe some of you do remember that 2010 Lego's theme ?

This MOC is a tribute to the "white and lime" team ; in this futuristic race, i'm pretty sure that pilot would win ! (yea, being alone racing helps alot)

Never thought I'd see a World Racers tribute! Very nice. Perhaps I'm mis-remembering the colour scheme, but could it do with some red or black highlights?

I love how you've taken an old theme and made it fresh. Space racing is such a novel, captivating concept that Lego lends itself well to. Now I'm imagining what the other teams' ships would look like.

About the build itself, it's a great body shape and color, the long hull kinda reminds me of a drag racer, not sure if that's what you were going for but it really works, great stuff, and welcome to the forum, I'm excited to see more from you!

thanks ! kinda unusual theme, isn't it ? i can't tell i'm fond of those World Racers, but they were amongst the first sets i bought after my dark age, so i thought a little tribute could be cool . And you're right, about the red and black scheme : that's the opponent color scheme team (the bad guys). i could consider doing a second ship, with thoose colors..

Thanks ! tbh that long hull was more in order to put all those flags, to look like a radiator (even if, in space, there's no air, so cold/hot exchange could not be effective .. but for MOCs, we can twist physical laws as we want )
