Nequmodiva's Technic Alternates

[Nequmodiva]

I've decided to make a topic for all my C-models/alternates from Technic sets. I've started doing alternates some years ago, but only about one year ago I learned how to make instructions with MLCad and LPub3D. Since then I managed to make instructions for all my older alternates too. Except for the two which already had photographic instructions. So while most of these alternates might not be new to you, many of the instructions certainly are.

Since I was still learning during this year the quality of the instructions is varying. The first one I even remade later on. You can compare it: 42061 Forklift first instructions, 42061 Forklift improved instructions. The first version not even had submodels.

The mining truck from 42060 looks swell. I'd definitely like to try that.

Really nice MOCs even more being C sets, congratulations.

Thanks for your comments! Here is my next alternate: an Airboat Racer made from 42074.

The propeller in the back is driven by one of the front wheels. All gears from the original set are used here.

It's inspired by similar Lego models like 8223 Hydrofoil, which was by the way my first Technic set as a child. Although I don't think hydrofoil is the right name for such a boat. Other similar vehicles include the boat from 31023 Yellow Racers. 42045 Hydroplane Racer however is a different kind of machine, as these are not driven by airborne propellers. So I named this one Airboat, because the propeller is clearly above the water surface. Unlike those airboats used to travel the swamps this one however is more of a racer.

Here is an alternate of the 42093 Corvette: a dump truck.

It has articulated steering, a V8 engine and the bed can be raised. More images and instructions on Rebrickable.

Very cool!

Cool alternative model for Corvette! Didn't you think about lowering its cab little bit? It looks too high to me.

Very nice, my kid will love this... Thanks for sharing.

You are right. The back of the cab uses 13M beams, so there is a limit for lowering it without completely redesigning the model. But to lower it by one is possible. And it already looks better. Thanks!
