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!

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!- 792 replies

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 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.- 792 replies

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!- 792 replies

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!- 792 replies

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.

Thank you very much :) M:Tron Stellar Hauler This alternate build was a tough challenge but I am more or less happy with turning an articulated space tow truck (Celestial Forager 6896) into a cargo ship with working crane and two moving side cannons. The model uses all the parts of the set except for one wheel. Blacktron Destroyer Turning the Battrax 6941 into a modular dropship with a rover was not easy. This ship utilizes all the parts of the donor set. The front part detaches from the cargo hold and works as a small ship on its own, but you can detach the rearmost section with poseable rudders and add it to the front. The main wings swivel from flying to parking position and the rover with articulated steering can detach easily from the cargo hold and can be driven around by the pilot. Happy Building!

The Freezing Phoenix is my very first alternate of Ice Planet 2002 set. This time I took the Blizzard Baron 6879 and turned it into this bird-like spaceship using 100% of the parts. The Phoenix can move its head and neck, the cockpit can be opened and the tail swivels from side to side. From the build I am most proud of the head that utilizes some of the trans neon orange parts icluding skis and a chainsaw blade. Instructions are available in the video.

FREEDOM GUNDAM Allow me to introduce my alternate model of the LEGO Technic 42145 Airbus H175 Helicopter. It uses only the parts included in the set. It is based on the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam with slightly changed colour combo due to the donor set. The robot measures: 47 cm in height 61 cm in wingspan The model features 4 motorized functions operated by a gearbox: Wing movement Torso rotation Arm movement Head rotation Other features include: Poseable shoulders, elbows and thumbs Poseable hip, shoulder and knee guards Accessories include: Beam Rifle Shield Sword The battery box is attached to a brace that helps to stabilize the figure but it stands perfectly on an even surface.
