The Poor Bricker's Guide: What else can I build with this?

[Raeik]

As one could say "ain't nobody got bricks for that".

I like LEGO. I like building stuff. But I don't have a huge collection, I don't own a lot of sets, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't afford to live the dream (the LEGO dream).

So I buy a few sets from time to time, which is just fine. Unfortunately LEGO decided that giving alternate models into the sets wasn't fun anymore. meh.

That's why I decided to look for MOC I could copy / build with only the few sets I have, and I couldn't find a lot (maybe I am just bad at finding stuff).

Anyway I will try to gather some models you can build with a limited number of sets, and put everything here.

If you created some, just send me a PM with a picture at least, maybe instructions if you are kind.

@Eurobricks staff: (throw this post away / merge this post) if it was already made, or if it's a terrible idea, thanks !

I've fixed the title as best I can within the character limit of titles.

If you're looking for good alternate models, a starting place could be the list of Mods and Alternate Builds in our MOC Index.

Rebrickable is also worth checking out. It will tell you what you can build with the sets you have, and show you what pieces you are missing.

Cool info.

Thanks BrickieB for posting my model - glad you liked it .

If you're interested in that one Raeik I have a number of pics taken in order when I disassembled it that you could use as instructions. (I had to disassemble it to prepare to move house ).

Sure, add them to your post and I will link it from here.

(great moc by the way)
