Thanks everyone. The instructions are not planned so far. I still keep changing small details of the model :)

LEGO TECHNIC 42057 Hovecraft Alternate

My own alternate model I built using only the elements of the Ultra Light Helicopter 42057. The hovercraft has a rear wheel drive propulsion for the 2 cylinder straight engine and the propeller. The steering wheel controls two small wheels hidden underneath for easy maneuverability and the rudders can be moved from side to side.

Very nice, even better being a MOC of a set.

[offroadcreations]

This should of been the original B-Model. It could've even been the A-Model.  Yet another great MOC from you!

Great alternative Grohl. 

Good use of the available parts.

I was really surprised to see such a great c-model of a small set like that. Fantastic!

Grohl, why did you not force your Model-C as an official Model-B that I do not know, it looks much, much better then the one included in the box... I am following you on FB and I really "heads up" ! :) 

[grohl]

The reason might be that I first touched the set two weeks ago. We all have our tasks to do and this was built during two evening sessions in my free time.

And how long it takes to made an official set after all ? 

[grohl]

Depending on the complexity, the design part takes from weeks to months or even years. But it can be easily found if you search for LEGO designer interviews

Grohl I wonder if the "new" 8860 has been designed by you? You make a lot of Model-C,D,E,F... based on official sets, so is this one is also yours? :)

I asked him a similar question a few days ago on Youtube. He said I'll have to wait a few months for an answer to that question. Which means you'll have to wait too.

Ok, all is clear now, till then :)

Grohl, you should be permanently assigned to C-models. They are irresistible selling arguments

Time to get the 42057

 

[RohanBeckett]

ahh.. we know you did it - Oh Master of the Almighty Alternative model!

Thank you for that it will hepl a lot to build your Model-C. By the way, did you tried the Midel-D.E... ;) ?

My take on a futuristic BMW bike I finished building a week ago.

 

[zux]

You don't usually see much Technic motorcycle alternates. Furthermore this one has nice set of features, that I like a lot!

Orange Supercar

My frst alternate of 42060 with opening gullwing doors, steering, adjustable rear wing and 1 cylinder engine.

That's not a cylinder engine, that's a subwoofer.
