Firebird

This alternative model from set 10304 Camaro is based on a 1976 Pontiac Firebird.

Classic 911

Introduction This alternative model is using exclusively parts from the 10290 Pickup Truck set in the Expert line and is based on the first generation Porsche 911. From the moment I saw the set I immediately knew what I wanted to build with it, because so many pieces were just perfect for creating a classic […]

Retro Sport Coupe

Specs This is my P.O.R.S.C.H.E, which stands for Prototype Of Retro Sport Coupe Heedfully Engineered, which is an alternate model of the  LEGO 10295 Porsche 911 set. Although it is inspired by classic front-engine Porsche models like 924 an 928 and has a certain Porsche DNA, it is not representing any specific type of Porsche, […]

Classic Pickup Truck

Spending the holidays in isolation meant plenty of time to design another alternative from set 10271 Fiat 500. Finished just before New Year, it’s both going out and starting with a “bang”. Considering the popularity of my other pickup alternates from set 10252 and 10265, of course one had to be created from this set […]

4×4 Offroader

The colours of the Fiat 500 model reminded me of the classic 4×4 Offroader set 5510 from 1986. Also the wheels are in both cases white and identical in size. So why not make a modern interpretation of this set using exclusively parts from the Fiat 10271 set? It was easier said than done and […]

Cobra Roadster

Built for the TLCB Lock-down competition. After my two previous alternate models from the 10265 Ford Mustang, a pickup truck inspired by the F100 and the GT04 Sportscar inspired by the legendary GT40, there was one more iconic car from this era that I wanted to replicate which also has a strong connection to Ford; […]

GT04 Sportscar

This GT super sports-car is another alternative model from Creator set 10265 Ford Mustang. After previously designing an alternate model based on the 1970 F100 pickup truck, this car ended up being heavily inspired by the legendary GT40. Even though both vehicles are from the same car manufacturer from the same era, the models seem […]

Vintage Pickup Truck

Inspired by my 10265 alternative, the idea was now to build a pickup from the 10252 Beetle set as well after the Offroader creation earlier on. Because the parts seemed more suitable for a vintage model, this car is based on American pickup trucks from the 1930’s. During that time several car manufacturers produced pickup […]

Pickup Truck

The idea was to create an alternative that would be a suitable complementary model to the LEGO Creator Expert set 10265; a Ford Mustang from 1967. The result is this pickup truck mainly inspired by a 1970’s F100. With over 1100 pieces it reuses almost 80% of the parts included in the original set which […]

Model Optimization: a 42083 Showcase

In 2018 the Bugatti Chiron came out in LEGO Technic. It’s quite a complex model, but very dense and seems inefficient and consequently negatively impacts some of its functions. Time for a redesign thus where the starting point was to keep the same modular build with almost identical interconnection points, and keep the overall looks […]
