Zebra
is my first alternate build (uses only the parts of the set) of the 42198 Bush Plane.
The model is an automata sculpture that can be easily motorized or hung on the wall.
The head moves up and down, the neck moves back and forth and so do the shoulders and knees of the zebra. Inside its chest you can find a 4-cylinder beating heart.

with 2 sets you could make proper zebra; when I saw this set fir first time, stripes remind me on zebra indeed, so your idea was expected sooner ar later...

May the 4th be with you.
Yoda / Grogu is my 36th alternate build of the 42117 Race Plane.
It features moving arms linked to the rotating head, hinged elbows, posebale hands and fingers. The ears on the head can be moved up and down and you can switch between the lightsaber or the orb as the accessories.
Happy Building!

Red Bull RB17 Hypercar
is my first alternate build of the 42206 that I designed for this year. It uses only the parts of the RB20 F1 LEGO set. I originally wanted to design a generic Le Mans car, but then stumbled upon news that the RB 17 is going to start production in 2025 and what a better fit than a Red Bull Hypercar from a Red Bull F1?
The model is 57cm long, 23.5cm wide and 12 cm high.
The features include:
Front pull rod suspension
Rear push rod suspension
Front axle steering with working steering wheel and HOG input
Working V6 engine
2-speed gearbox with neutral
Opening gull-wing doors
Moving rear spoiler wing
Detailed cockpit and bodywork with intricate angles.

Thank you, gentlemen. Even with how much is exposed on the real car, it was constant panel swapping to get as close to the curves of the vehicle as possible. At the end  I had to rebuild several sections just to get some connectors since I ran out of available parts.

Out of pure interest....how long are you working on a B-model like this? Approx.

2 months on this one, but the suspension + engine were copied with adjustments.

I'd feature this on the front page if I could, but I can only front page the first post of a topic. Very impressive B model.

Cool. Will this end up on Rebrickable in some way?

Thats impressive! My models take 6 months+ for the same scale ... :D

Looking forward to you next models. Maybe there is one in the next line-up of 2026 to make a marathon of B-,C- ... Z-models out of ;-)

IMO 42209 is already an excellent candidate for that: it's a great pack of all kinds of parts, with the only slightly less versatile part being the bucket.
