    Grohl's Space Alternate Builds

    Wow, thank you for such amazing response. I had fun designing this one and hoped people will appreciate the amount of things that can be played with. I had no attachment to the whole Spyrius theme since it came out when I was approaching my dark ages, but I have to say the Robo Guardian is a great toy, regardless of the missing legs.

    Hello everybody, the magnificent Galaxy Explorer 10497 reignited my passion for old LEGO Space sets. Even though my heart beats for Technic, my very first Lego set was the M:Tron Vector Detector 6877. Since August I enlarged my collection of space sets and in most cases managed to get my hands on some of the sets I only dreamt about when I was a child. Back then I had only 6877, 6878 and 6811. I would like to use this thread for presenting my alternate builds of the LEGO space sets that I acquired in the last months. When I was a kid, I did not have a big collection but I always (to an extent) managed to build what I wanted. Creating alternate builds is one of my big passions and I love working with limited inventories and coming up with new ways and ideas from the same brick. Here is the first of many alternates to come: 6877 Tensor Deflector The model utilises 100% of the parts and features opening cokpit and detachable storage container at the back. The building instructions are part of the video. Happy Building!

    A year ago we lost legendary LEGO Designer Jørn Thomsen who was behind many of our favourite LEGO SPACE sets. As his colleague, I paid tribute to some of his marvelous designs.

    Horizon Zero Dawn Thunderjaw is my 32nd alternate build of the 42117 Race Plane. It has poseable head, legs, tail and disc launchers. And good news for the fans of the game: I made Broadhead as my alternate #40. Happy Building!

    Starbug is my first alternate build of the 6981 Aerial Intruder. The ship features detachable front section that works as a small scout ship. Both the front and the main cockpit open, the rear section has a deployable 8-wheeled rover that can drive up and down the lowering ramp. The ship has a spinning radar and a storage space for the jetpack. Happy Building!

    So far I keep running out of sets... not ideas luckily.

    Pelican is my 31st alternate build of the 42117 Race Plane. The pelican flaps the wings by pulling the head backwards so it can swallow fish. The wing angle can be changed and the tail and legs posed. Happy Building!

    Thank you all very much for your kind words! SPECTRE is my first alternate build of the amazing LEGO 60430 Interstellar spaceship. The magical function got a rebuild to have a bigger nozzle and I added the wing sections to the mechanism to create even more dramatic effect. By pressing the battery pack, the ship not only spreads the thruster sections, but changes the geometry of the wings as well. The cockpit section stayed very similar to the original model. The engine flaps and the battery pack function as in the official model. Happy Building!

    I bought the Control Center II just for the dinosaur and added a sound brick.

    I still believe the Technic animals have their audience. Maybe not as many as the vehicles but there is a lot more variety in nature than in car industry.

    That quote cannot be about anything else than LEGO Parts :) Apologies, my friends. By mistake I showed you another alternate model as the 30th one instead of this. The Rhino Family consists of two models. The main one moves head up and down by moving its tail and the head swivels from side to side on the neck. The baby rhino does not have any functions except for looking cute. Happy Building!

    42117 Plane with Retractable Landing Gear This might be not the most beautiful plane that I created from the 42117, but it boasts having three functions - Retractable landing gear, spinning propeller and working elevators. And it is the alternate build No. 30 that I created from the set. Happy Building!

    Hello there, here is another submersible from the Space Police set. I took the Galactic Peace Keeper 6886 and turned it into this Anglerfish using most of its parts. It can open its big mouth, move the pectoral and tail fins. The opening cockpit can fit comfortably both the minifigures.

    I get that a lot :)
