  1. The Sea Turtle is my 27th alternate build of the LEGO Technic 42117 Race Plane. It was created already in January 2022 during filming LEGO Masters. The idea for the model came from one of the guest judges Přemek Forejt. The model features synchronised movement of the front legs and the head. The hind legs and tail are poseable as well.
  2. Thank you very much Jim. The model I spent several months redesigning until its final form did not catch much attention. How about something that I put together in less than a minute?

The Features include: Independently moving rotors by means of a control stick 2-function gearbox that switches between 1) Spinning rotors linked to a 3-cylinder in-line engine 2) Retractable landing gear Spinning tail rotor Opening cargo ramp Detachable detailed cockpit that works as an escape module Turbines in the air intakes Easy motorization and LED lights The AA gun features: Shooting mechanism with a trigger Rotating turret Opening detailed cockpit
  4. Mosquito Plane is my 22nd alternate model of the 42117 Race Plane and features synchronized rotation on both the propellers. Rolls well and is very swooshable.

The IMPERIAL SHUTTLE is my 26th alternate build of the 42117 LEGO Technic Race Plane I designed. The Shuttle features synchronised folding wing movement. You can build a display stand similar to the one shown in the video.

  7. Dinosaur Driving Go-Kart What can be crazier than a huge extinct lizard sitting on a go-kart? This model is an alternate build of the LEGO Technic 42138 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and features two pullback motors with ratcheting mechanism and launcher (tail) for extreme speeds and fun. The mouth of the dinosaur can be opened, the front paws are poseable and the tail has two positions - up (ratcheting mechanism engaged), down (release or just a regular pullback vehicle mode).

The Butterfly features a synchronized wing flapping mechanism and is attached to the base of the model together with a flower that completes the scene. The butterfly wings can be locked in an open position in case the friction in the pins is not high enough to hold them.

  15. The Mantis would be a fun challenge. :) In the meantime while waiting on the instructions for the G-Wagen, I took the KITT and tried to implement a bonnet even though it meant changing the engine from a V8 to flat 8. Do you think it is worth spending even more time with this model to update the instructions?
  16. There are still 5 of them not being shown on Youtube. I personally have no interest in building a phone stand but you never know.
  17. I am planning on completing the alphabet and going beyond. I would love to beat my personal record for a Technic set which was 31 for the 8271 set.
