    Yes, I can remember multiple instances where somebody was searching for a Moc which had become disabled. Reasons for this can be very diverse, because the designer can disable his Mocs anytime.

    I'm happy to see 4 potentially exciting sets in the 30 € to 50 € range. For me as an alternate builder it's the optimal range for Technic sets. And I felt they neglected it in 2020 with the odd catamaran and stunt show sets. There will probably be a lot of disappointment in the forums once they get revealed because it is certain they will be full of compromises due to the part count. It was the same with the Corvette and it still was a very popular set (for everybody except the die hard fans). I feel Lego is doing the right thing by strengthening the medium range while still keeping the upper ranges.

    I always liked that with the B-models they often explored vehicles that aren't popular enough to get their own A-model version. Some have mentioned that often there are better alternate models on rebrickable, but then Lego should have decreased prices, because many instructions on rebrickable have to be payed. Also there are sets that got no or very low attention from alternate builders.

    Hey, I made a 9396 VTOL alternate 6 years ago: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-4230/Nequmodiva/9396-vtol/#info

    The instructions for the harbour crane are ready. Available for free at rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-41976

    A very good model again! I especially like the saddle. It shows how alternate building stimulates creativity, because when faced with an unlimited choice of bricks nobody would think of using the engine mount frame piece for that.

    I hope you will get well soon! And nice model!

    Thank you! Ok, here are two more. I'm not good at making photos of such big models. Thank you! The upper structure is not balanced on its own at maximum reach, though the base stabilizes it. Thank you! Yes I know about the wheels and was debating the tire usage during the build myself. I guess it's a personal preference, most of the time I have an odd feeling about wheel rims without tires.

    I had the same idea as Tomik, to build a harbour crane. Well no coincidence, I own 8053 too and also built the alternate back then. Plus I might have built other harbour cranes in the past. So I had to do it for 42108 as well, and here it is. No part is an exact copy of 8053-B, but I took a lot of inspiration from it, and the functions are basically the same. Including the container that can be grabbed. A notable improvement compared to 8053-B is the increased distance it can slide on the base, it always bugged me how it was limited by the support beams on the original. Also I had to give it a distinct horse head jib at the top, which 8053-B was unfortunately missing. I will make instructions for it, but with more than 1000 parts this might take some time. Plus I've got two instructions for alternates from other smaller sets nearly done that will be published before.

    That's also my setup. LDD runs much faster than studio on my computer and I'm way faster building with LDD. Then I import the LDD file into studio and export it as ldraw file. Some of the newer parts have a wrong orientation afterwards, but it's not that much to fix. Making the steps in MLCad is the most time consuming part of the process. That's why I'm glad MLCad runs really smooth on Linux with Wine, where I mostly work. The good thing about MLCAD + LPub3D is that you can have bend parts like cables, hoses and strings, that you can insert arrows, buffer exchanges, assembled parts etc. Since Technic models and instructions tend to be complex you need all of those things way more than when doing System instructions.
