Peteris_Sprogis Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 I have been very pleasantly surprised that it's possible to build creative alternates from the Speed Champions line. I thought that the SC models are highly puspose build but obviously bricks are just bricks and it's always possible to have creative fun :) Here are some 75877 Mercedes AMG set alternates: 1. Drift car 2. pick up 3. SUV Thanks for watching! Quote
Trekkie99 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 These are great! I would have never considered this as an option. The pickup truck would have to be my favorite! Thumbs up. Are you planning on doing this with other sets? That would be awesome! Quote

Sets I had from previous years are disassembled and parts used in mocs. No plans of other set alternate models at the moment. 4. Truck Quote

Nightfall Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Cool alternates. My favorites are the pickup and the truck. Quote
BimmerBoy Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 This is brilliant. Well done! The Merc AMG is one of my favorites from the Speed Champions line, so I won't repurpose that one, but I might try my hand at building alternates out of some of the other cars. Quote
gotoAndLego Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 These are all very good. Most people don't try to work under the constraints of a small set, despite the small 3-1 Creators showing it is possible. Quote

That's disappointing to hear, I would think people would be more encouraged to rework sets like this one since the parts all favor making a cool vehicle, as opposed to the Creator models which often have a haphazard appearance. Anyway, I'm enjoying these vehicles, hopefully I can pick up some of these sets when there's a sale. Quote
Peteris_Sprogis Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 here comes the 7th alternate from the 75877 set. It's the most alike with the original model but I just could not resist to make this curvy shaped and stylish looking sportscar moc. Quote
SollX Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Verry creative and well done! The formula car is the best! That last car is also great. Quote
Peteris_Sprogis Posted May 26, 2017 Author Posted May 26, 2017 Next alternate- Speed Champions 75877 Helicopter moc Quote
Peteris_Sprogis Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 9th remake of the 75877 set- hot rod alternate Quote
Peteris_Sprogis Posted June 15, 2017 Author Posted June 15, 2017 10th alternate from a single Speed Champions set- the 75877 Future Hypercar Quote
