    Thank you all. Markus was the first one. The title has nothing to do with the length of service. There are people who excel in disciplines where I am not so good at and vice versa. Model building skills is just one small section of a complicated equation. Sales are not.

    6929 Space Owl and Mouse is my very first alternate of the 6929 Starfleet Voyager and utilizes vast majoritiy of the parts. The Space Owl ship has an opening cockpit that comfortably fits a minifigure. The ship has moving wings with thrusters underneath. The Mouse works as a landing pad and storage for all the tools and accesories with opening doors on the side. Happy Building!

    Mandalorian Shuttle is my 39th alternate build of the 42117 Race Plane I designed. The Shuttle has a transforming function that rotates the cockpit around the wings for the flying / landing sequence. The remaining parts are used to recreate a tiny scenery with a windmill. Happy Building!

    Thank you very much everyone. My initial idea was an LMP car. Then the Dinosaur entered my head and I was so thankful that the Rexy's rollcage is white so I had a few (not really suitable) parts for the teeth of the T-Rex. Originally the model was supposed to be just a poseable statue, but then I challenged myself again and added the walking mechanism connected to the V6 engine.

    Rexy the T-Rex is the mascot of the AO Racing Rexy Porsche 911 GT3 R. The dinosaur alternate model uses only the parts of the 42224 LEGO set. The model is 28.5 cm high and 39 cm long and features: – Walking mechanism operated by one of the connectors on the back – Tail swinging function operated by the other one – Rotating head that can be controlled from the belly of the dino – Opening jaw and moving tongue by moving the hidden linkage on the left side of the head – Working 6-cylinder engine inside the chest that is connected to the walking mechanism – Poseable front paws with moving elbows – The T-Rex also comes with a toothy display stand

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The Blacktron Triceratops is a 47cm long dinosaur that packs more than you would anticipate at first glance. It is built using only the parts of the 10355 Blacktron Renegade. The Triceratops has a moving head with opening mouth. You can detach the two Blacktron logo flyers from the sides of the hind legs. On the back you can find a lightsaber and a mineral detector. The detachable thruster with foldable wings can be added to the command module to form even bigger spaceship or it works on it own as well. The cockpit of the command module opens and the wings can be angled. The Robot is hidden right below the nose of the command module and can be removed to help the crew. By lowering the ramp, you can deploy the mini Battrax with articulated steering, opening cockpit and foldable rear wings. The artillery has a 360°rotating platform with dual guns that can be angled and the same goes for the targeting radar.

    6891 Orca is a spaceship/submersible that can fit the minifigure into the opening cockpit, has poseable pectoral fins, tool storage behind the canopy and a detachable robo flyer. Creating an alternate from this set proved to be more difficult than anticipated due to some large parts with limited useability. Have fun and happy building!

    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.

    Technic Advent Calendar would definitely cost more, but a great idea nonetheless.
