    I've found out that choosing right template for your future alternative model is crucial. It is much more important than your building techniques - if you don't know what you wanna build you'll build nothing even you know all best building techniques. Back to your question - in general I choose topic of new model according to: my wish - for example I wanna build rabbit so let's check if it is possible main model - for example main model is animal so let's build another animal specific part - for example there is some special shaped piece in set that resembles you flipper so you begin building fish color scheme - for example there are black and white pieces in set so let's build penguin that is black and white too another lego set - for example similar lego set was produced in past so let's build something that was alternative model out of this old lego set And your suggestion to build orca is cool - I think I'll try to build it in future.

    Then I've built 4th alternative model out of set 31004 (eagle) - wild boar. This model features just good apperance and little bit moving legs and tail. The latest model is penguin built out of set 31021. I've just finished it day before yesterday. It is much more moving than boar and it also features fish that I've created out of left over pieces. There are buildinsg instructions available for all my new models except penguin on buildinst.

    Let me introduce my new alternative models. I'm gonna begin with the oldest ones and move to latest ones. Couple months ago I've challenged myself to build some alternate out of polybag 30189 that contains about 50 pieces. I've almost given up after several failed attempts before I've built first alternative model of helicopter. Then I've kept on building and expanded number of alternative models to five (helicopter, yacht, fish, plane and chicken) during next few evenings.

    It's awesome. I think it would be official model I like to buy!

    Building instructions for sports car, tractor and grader are available on buildinst now.

    It is not strong enough to flip tractor over or at least I've never experienced it. Now let me introduce my latest alternative model - grader. I've built it out of set 8067 (mini mobile crane) as my second alternative model (weeing dog was first). It features front axle steering and blade lifting. I've had to use some extraordinary building technologies to build it due to lack of pins. Cabin is great example of it.

    Good job! I like your horse even it looks more like donkey.

    Thank you very much for your comments! I appreciate all of them. I have no experience with building birds however I could try to build ostrich or mallard out of set 31019 Thank you for your vote and mentioning "Be the special" contest. I haven't known about this contest so I'm not participating in it yet but I will.

    Before I introduce you my latest alternative model I'd like to thank Jan Beyer (Lego comunity manager) for sending me set 31019 that I've used for building. Now let's check what I've built. It is Tyrannosaur with his dinner. Tyrannosaur features posable legs, claws, tail, head and openable maw. It is stable enough to stand on its two legs. When I've finished it I found out that most of yellow parts left and I was still able to build banana out of them. It looked very strange - tyrannosaur eating big banana. Then I've got another idea - I can build duck! ...and tyrannosaur has got dinner. And there is one more alternate I've built earlier out of set 31004 - mammoth. I've created this model especially for December alternative build competition organized by Rebrickable. Mammoth is relatively big (it ate most parts of set) and features posable trunk, extremities and tail. I have to admit that tusks and front legs are little bit fragile so I don't recommend giving mammoth to little children. Building instructions for mammoth are already available at buildinst.

    Thank you for your replies. If you would like to build tractor before I release instructions you can try to do it with help of pictures in buildinst gallery.

    I've got pull back buggy 42010 as Christmas gift and because it doesn't have any official alternative model I've begun building my own one. At first I've built some kind of sports car. Then I've started creating something bigger and more original - tractor. It was really difficult to build it but I think result is great.

    This boat seems familiar to me - it looks like modified version of my alternative model built out of set 8068...

    There is new building instruction for bulldozer built out of set 42006 available on buildinst! Besides this I'd like to ask you to fill short survey that will help me with improving buildinst in future.
  16. Tomik
    At first thank you all once more for possitive comments! I don't let you wait more - building instructions for bulldozer are already available on buildinst! I'd also like to ask you to fill short survey that will help me with improving buildinst in future.
  17. Tomik
    Thank you all for your comments. I'm happy you like my dozer. Yes, it is build only out of parts included in set 42006. I've used about 600 parts out of total 720 parts.

    I'd like to introduce you my latest alternative model I was building last two weeks. It is bulldozer built out of set 42006. Originally I was building another snow groomer but all changed during designing snow plow. I've used small Caterpillar and Komatsu dozers as models. Let's check what this yellow-black dozer is able to do. There is simple transmission in nose that switches output between blade and ripper. Blade is lifted by two big linear actuators and ripper by one small actuator. There is also adjustable seat in cabin. Gradually I've simplified whole model enough to be easily assembled but on the other side this led to increase of leftover parts to about 120. I plan to create building instructions within month.

    Thank you all for your comments! I like medium sized sets most and I plan to build alternate for excavator 42006. I don't think I'll build anything bigger in nearest future.

    Hi, I'd like to introduce you my latest alternative model. It is small snow groomer built out of set 9391. It features lifting snow plow by gear on roof of cab. I plan to upload its building instruction on buildinst in next week.
  21. Tomik
    I like your car. It's amazing that such a small model features so many functions. I have one technical question: how did you fix piston blocks in exact angle?
  22. Tomik
    This Street Rod is simply awesome! I like it very much. I was not interested in this set but thanks to this alternate I am.
  23. Tomik
    As I know it is default orientation. I mean LPub do it in this way automatically and I didn't have to change anything...

    There are building instructions for red shark and helicopter available at buildinst now.
