I'm just finishing this. I may have another go at it with the parts from 42115. 42056 Miura by James Tillson, on Flickr

A narrow body 991 Carrera with a 4 speed manual gearbox and a pop up spoiler made from just the parts in 42056. Instructions by GeyserBricks on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-40207/GeyserBricks/porsche-991-carrera-2016-42056-b-model/#comments

I'm not finished with 42056 yet. I have already finished two more. I have no plans to do anything with the bugatti as I can't do much with the colour combo. I am going to do something with 42115 as soon as I can get one.

Here is my RC Grinnall Scorpion III. It has direct drive from one buggy motor. I wanted to film outside and get up to full speed but this thing takes off by itself when the sun comes out. http://rebrickable.com/mocs/JamesJT/rc-grinnall-scorpion-iii

Corvette C7 Z06 made from just 42056. Obviously GT3 RS only gas 6 cylinders so I left space for the extra 2. Instructions and renders by GeyserBricks are on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-38557/GeyserBricks/corvette-c7-z06-42056-b-model/#comments

42056 B Model - MINI Cooper F56 Instructions by GeyserBricks are on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-36559/GeyserBricks/mini-cooper-f56-2016-42056-b-model/#comments

Rebrickable has allowed the modification https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-36648/GeyserBricks/mini-cooper-f56-2016-42056-b-model-mod/#comments

It didn't get approved as it is too close to the B model. You can see the 11 parts required and they can all be easily swapped at any time.

Probably but I was only intending to make a road going version of 42096. The gearbox and panels were added at the end instead of RC to keep the build cost down. Thanks but that's one of the bits I kept the same as 42096. Roof and A pillars are the same too. Its about 70% RSR, We tried really hard to make sure all the extra parts are cheap and plentiful.

I have a formula that works even quicker on B models where I don't speed any time choosing parts/colours. I also have a very nice man doing all the boring stuff like making digital models and instructions. I wanted to do Cooper S with 4 cylinder but there was only room for a 3 cylinder between the front wheels so it had to be the Cooper. GeyserBricks will publish a version with 11 extra parts including the corvette (42093) roof. Those 11 parts make a huge difference. I'd be happy with just a black nose panel and the spotlights (5 parts) Lego Technic 42056 MINI Cooper by James Tillson, on Flickr

1967 VW Beetle built from 42056 Features Steering suspension, 4 speed H pattern gearbox with remote linkage, flat 4 engine with cooling fan Front seats tilt forwards and the doors bonnet and engine cover open too.

Inspired by the Corgi Batmobile (1966-1983). Features HoG steering, moving flame, rocket launcher and chain slicer. Instructions by GeyserBricks on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-34333/GeyserBricks/classic-batmobile/#comments

The original design didn't allow 2 gears to be select at all but that was when I assumed the gear stick was in the center of the car. Turns out the car was right hand drive with the driver moved towards the center and gear selector on the drivers right. There was no room for the original design but I am using it on my next build.

You can see the links in the image. The gear selectors slide on gear racks. Ford GT40 MK1 1967_8 by James Tillson, on Flickr It is strange how 3 different connections came together to make that work. Found this solution by pure luck. I used the wheel arches from 42096. They are smaller than bugatti arches and only available in white with prints on.

Thank you. The model was build in CAD so I could ask for a few colour changes. Almost all the text goes to my flickr page for some reason but the rebrickable link works now

I made two Stratos based on my Dino 246 chassis. Its powered by 2 L-motors and Buwizz. Doors and clam shells open. Complete with transverse V6. Instructions and demo video are now available. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-32084/GeyserBricks/lancia-stratos-hf-group-4-rally-car-from-1974/#comments

I made a FWD 1997 Beetle from 42096. Instructions are now on Rebrickable. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-31514/GeyserBricks/moc-42096-b-model-vw-new-beetle-1997/#comments Untitled by James Tillson, on Flickr

I built a white one and took 2 studs out of the wheelbase to make a Stratos. Chassis now has a Buwizz, 2 L motors and faster gearing, Dino brothers by James Tillson, on Flickr Dino brothers by James Tillson, on Flickr Dino brothers by James Tillson, on Flickr

Instructions will be on rebrickable soon. I don't think so. There is a picture of the remaining parts at the end of the video instructions.

I thought it would be a B model as there is no official Lego alternative build.

This is my 1:8 scale model of the famous Jaguar D-type customer race car. It won Le Mans in 1956 and in 2016 became the most expensive British car to sell at auction (about $20million). I used scale drawings and tried to be as accurate as possible, even with suspension points etc. The front clam shell and boot (with spare wheel) open but I couldn't get the (tiny) doors to open and keep the right side profile. To be exactly the same scale my Stratos should be 3% bigger but they look nice parked together. There was also a factory race car with a closed cockpit and a road car called XKSS. I will be making both of these too.
