    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.

    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?

    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 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?
