NF500 Racing Speeder
The NF stands for Not a Ferrari, because there are no Ferraris in Star Wars. Regardless of the fact that this is basically an F1 nose and bargeboards and the rear of a 499P hypercar, this is totally its own Star Wars thing. Right...
This was a very fun build. The 499P is my favourite of the current generation hypercars in WEC, and what better way to improve it than to make the spoiler even bigger, slap a V8 in the back, and switch out the yellow for flouro-yellow, which I only have in a few parts, but it suffices for highlights. It really is a powerful colour. I quite like it.
I actually dialed down the craziness of the barge boards, hopefully it's less visually all over the place than it was. In fact, I wish they were more visible. I take pictures with hope that they're not appalling, and frequent disappointment when that turns out to be not the case. Oh well.
Keep scrolling for pictures of all three current speeders together. Imagine how disheartening it must be to have built your speeder from a junkyard, then rock up to the race and your opponent turns up in this super-streamlined monster with full professional support. Good luck!
Next on the docket, and actually almost finished, is a much Star Wars-ier entrant. In fact it's one of the speeders from the upcoming Galactic Racer game. Expect that next week or thereabouts.
