Alternate number 22nd of LEGO Creator set 5867: a Hot Rod. Earlier on, one of the alternates I built from this set became a Street Rod. Even though it was a nice looking model with an interesting build, it didn’t really had the proper characteristics that Hot Rods are known for. So after revisiting this […]

This Street Rod is an alternative model from set 42000. Features – V8 engine – Rear wheel drive – Full independent suspension – Steering through HoG and steering wheel – Spoiler/ backcover with mini linear actuator – Opening doors and bonnet (manual) Background It’s been a while since I created an alternate from a Technic […]
This funny robot character is an alternate of Designer set 4888. This set has some great parts, but it’s tricky to come up with any good alternates. Luckily it contains a lot of hinges, so I was able to build some articulated droid, called Mr.Y, which fully spelled forms MisterY.
This is my alternate #3 of Designer Set 4403 Air Blazers. Inspired by the F-14 Tomcat with folding wings.

The alternative of a Skidsteer loader I came up with never made […]
This 2nd alternate of 6745 is an attempt to build some kind of commercial airliner. The main challenge was to get the shape of the wings right.

Alternate #19 of set 5867 Super Speedster: Wheel Loader. This type of heavy duty work vehicle is often seen on mining sides. Different than the alternates of this set before, the challenge here was making it as authentic as possible, and at the same time including working functions. When you can choose any part you […]
Alternate #16 of set 5867: Dune Buggy. This off-road racing vehicle is capable of taking any obstacle. Due to its light weight and a strong V4 engine on the back, it’s not only robust, but also quite fast, ideal for off-road racing events.
