Oban Star-Racers: The Whizzing Arrow 3

Ōban Star-Racers is an English-language Franco-Japanese anime series. 

I first saw this on the Jetix channel where it hooked me and gave me good memories.

The anime takes place on the planet Oban. On this planet, once every ten thousand years, a grandiose show is arranged - star races, the winner of which takes the main prize. All participants are preparing for these races, and earthlings sincerely believe in their victory. 

Oban Star-Racers is a series that captured the imagination of many with its unique storyline, memorable characters, and exciting races. The Whizzing Arrow 3 is central to the plot and symbolizes the spirit of adventure, teamwork, and determination. Building this ship in LEGO is a way to reconnect with those memories and relive the excitement of the series.

The Whizzing Arrow 3 has a distinct design that blends elements of a futuristic racer with sleek aerodynamics. Recreating it in LEGO is a fun challenge, as it involves carefully capturing its shape, colors, and unique details like the cockpit, thrusters, and racing stripes.

I decided to build the Whizzing Arrow 3 because it is an iconic symbol of speed, engineering and innovation. Building it out of LEGO allows you to capture a piece of that sci-fi racing history and bring it into the physical world.
