Looks much better than the leaked image suggested. All in all a very nice model. But it could and should have been more faithful to the original: 1. The mudguards, especially the rear mudguards are much too high. 2. The headlights are too big. 3. The windscreen and a-pillars look a little off. 4. The rear lights sit much too high. 5. The roofline and the c-pillars are too flat. If Lego created a 1x8 mudguard as a new piece most of these inaccuracies could have been avoided. There would have been no need for that weird new curved slope and a 1x8 mudguard could have been easily used for new cars at the same scale. I will still buy it as it looks nice. But it could have been better.

Either Martini racing look or green would have been a better choice. But white is ok. Having a closer look at the picture and comparing it to some of the many 911 mocs I am not 100% sure about the shape. Let's wait for some more pictures especially of the rear which is the tricky part to replicate with Lego.

I was never so happy to be wrong like this time. ???

I would also love a classic 911 as a Creator Expert car. But I don't think we will ever get one sadly.

I wonder if this is the first time Lego released a part that had already been used by alternative bricks companies before. Really strange that we had to wait so long.

@SNIPE: very interesting, thanks!

Which part do you mean?

Has there ever been a teaser for a 50€ set? That makes me expect the worst and hope for the best.

I could not agree more. About half a year ago I shared a model which I thought was quite original (Porsche 911 same scale as 10265 Mustang but fully RC, working suspension and fake engine). It did not get no but only very little attention. Ironically I was offered a cooperation by an alternative brick company for exactly that model. That says quite a lot I feel and I drew my conclusion.

The Creator Expert sets fit perfectly in the scale model forum. But this forum is nearly dead. To be honest it never really was alive.

In fact there are quite a few CaDA parts that are not produced by Lego, Technic parts as well as system parts.

My fault. Sorry for that!

I can assure that this is not true for CaDA. They do pay. Beside that we should be more precise when speaking of "clone" companies. Not all Chinese companies steal designs. As mentioned before some have their very own designs and do not copy anything at all.

Sorry for bumping up an old thread but just in case anybody is interested: I made free instructions for an 10262 alternate Porsche 911: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-40405/legophisto/10262-alternate-porsche-911/?inventory=1#bi

Fantastic what some people are capable of building out of Lego! Some clever part usage. I like especially the use of tyres and this little pyramid shape on top. Very well done!

It is always nice to see not only vehicles in this thread but also mocs you would never expected here. Especially when they are so well executed as this example. Did you build it for the ideas contest? I would love to see more mocs of this kind in this forum.

I saw this on flickr a couple of days ago. Although this is not my favourite theme or building style I had to follow you on twitter immediately. This build is absolutely fantastic! The bird itself is awesome but the whole scene is out of this (Lego)world!

Pretty well done! I love the attention to details. Are you planning to build it or will you just leave it to the digital version!

Thank you very much even if it is not the answer I would have liked.

Thanks. Looking better than that ugly AM DB5 duck is not that hard. I can tell you: attaching the roof and getting the right "legal" angles for windscreen, roof and the c-pillars was not that simple at all. But apart from that you are absolutely right. Thank you very much! I would not mind if you were right. As soon as the instructions are ready I will publish them here.

Hello everyone, I just recently started working with studio 2.0 as the instruction maker is far superior to the so-called in LDD. So sorry if the question was asked before and I just did not find an answer: After having created a sub-model, is it possible to move a part from the main model to that sub-model? Sometimes I forget to mark one part of the sub-model. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

Hello everybody, while building my latest moc - a RC Porsche 911 that I presented in the Technic forum earlier this week - I realized that many parts I needed are also included in the official 10262 Aston Martin DB5 set. So I tried to build an alternate model only using parts of 10262. Everything opens as usual. I tried to include as many iconic details as possible: the angled headlights, the iconic shape and the famous "Entenbürzel". There is also plenty of interior: adjustable front and rear seats, dashboard and of course a six flat engine. I am quite pleased with the result. At the moment I am working on the instructions which will hopefully be completed in two weeks time. Thanks for watching!

@Jim: I use a Cada battery box and controller for my RC Porsche 911 MT moc which I just presented. Of course everything else including the three PF motors is Lego. I hope that is okay.

I bought this set several weeks ago. The brick quality is nearly as good as Lego but not quite. Considering the building techniques the build itself is not as pleasing as building a Lego Creator Expert car. At least once they use a connection which Lego would surely consider illegal. I haven't tried the RC version yet but according to the manual it is only powered by one M-motor. All in all It is a decent set for a decent price but it does not reach the standard of Lego (Creator Expert sets).
